I was very excited to try this place with my boyfriend and made a res. But there were 2 things about this place that it deserves only 2 stars: Food and service
I remember a previous review warned of a long wait, but I totally disregarded it. Little did I know, I would sit there for an hour and half approximately to get 2 dishes, that by the way according to my boyfriend, "nothing special and mediocre" and doesn't take long to make. We ordered the Pares Hilton and the Tapsilog. The tapsilog was beef but it was chewy and hard to eat. Mine was delicious, but I am 95% sure I deemed it tasty because I was starving from waiting so long.
I think there was only one waitress on the floor serving tables on the inside and the patio because I didn't see anyone else. She would take a long time with the water, even getting the menus to start with, and bringing the bill. It was a painfully long wait for everything in general so I didn't bother ordering dessert.
This place gets a lot of traffic regardless because of the trendy Baldwin neighborhood. But just a word of advice, either come on a random day at non rush hour, or prepare to wait forever for your food. By the time my boyfriend and I got our food, it was too dark to take a picture. I won't be coming back and there's plenty of other Filipino restaurants to try out there.
