What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the innovative takes on Filipino favorites, especially the pork belly kare-kare and the house-made longganisa. Diners love the chic, intimate vibe and note that the staff are consistently friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The cocktails also get high marks, with several guests commenting they’re on par with some of the city’s best bars.
