| - PROS:
I am typically a big fan of Lamesa because I am a huge fan of ube, and I have headed to Lamesa before just for their original ube custard flan. I went with a girlfriend of mine, and she had the squash Arroz Caldo congee with egg which was very flavorful! It was a lovely warm dish on a cold winter day with soft texture, miso and squash flavors topped with an egg. I had the corned beef lumpia, which was slightly small as a portion for its price, but had great crunch with a salty beef brisket punch. Of course we finished with the ube leche flan wth came with a neat sprinkle of puffed rice and grapes.
Con:
-somewhat small portion for price
- non-food-related BIG CON SAFETY - the STAIRS to the washroom are deathly. They are steep and especially DANGEROUS when we were there in the winter weather. We watched 2 ppl fall down the stairs audibly - not just a few steps but the most of the flight. There were absolutely no wet floor signs or warning at all. After the first fall we observed we told the server, to which she kinda laughed and ?giggled and said "I know, you gotta watch out". When we saw (and heard) the 2nd person fall, we were much more concerned - and this time alerted a second server - also hinting that this could easily be a lawsuit. After this, they wrote a hand-drawn sign to "Watch your step". It was reasonable however, I avoided using the washroom for my whole dinner - especially because I am currently very very pregnant and that was quite difficult!!
Despite enjoying the food thoroughly, I think this establishment should take the safety of the patrons more seriously.
