Most Filipino eateries in the area are fastfood, which is why I think this restaurant is a welcome change. The place is divided into several sections, the front area which is good for small group of 4-5, and the inner section with long tables for receptions and parties. The place is clean, with big wooden furniture and native accents everywhere. The decor... ceiling fan with blades shaped like a hand-fans, the paintings, wall mirrors, bamboo trees, the Nipa hut outside the restaurant, not to mention the soft music playing in the background, truly give this place a nostalgic touch
The ala carte menu offers the classic Filipino dishes including grilled meats or seafood platters ("Inihaw"). They also have an All-Day Breakfast menu, combo plates, desserts, and the traditional Filipino beverages (Melon, Mango, Calamansi, Gulaman juice). They're pricier than your usual Filipino fastfood, but I think a sit-down dining place should be.
For starters, we had the Lumpia Sampler, consisting of about 8 different meat and veggies lumpias. We also ordered the Pansit Palabok, which was not very impressive; Beef steak on a sizzling plate which was alright; the Rellenong Bangus (stuffed milkfish) which was very delicious! But, my family's favorites are the Lechon Kawali and Bagoong fried rice.
The second time we visited, my brother had the Fried Seafood Plate (deep-fried fish, shrimp, fishballs with scoop of rice), very good; Pansit Guisado which was very tasty; Sisig and the Beef Afritada. Both dishes were just right...nothing to rave about.
If you want a taste of decent Filipino food and experience Flipino hospitality, this is pretty close to the real deal!
