We were given the worst table during our recent visit which was extremely disappointing especially since we've dined at your restaurant many times before. This was by far our worst experience. Your steak prices are significantly higher than other steakhouses and because of that we didn't even order steak this time. We are VIP members at Morton's and frequent diners at Mastro's. Very disappointing experience. We won't be returning anytime soon.
Had a really great experience with a great, knowledgeable, and friendly server. Thank you Audrey! Food was so impeccably well thought out and flavorful! Couldn't stop thinking about how every bite was delicious! We enjoyed 2 hot dishes, the beet salad, and the sea bass curry, all worth returning for!
overall a very nice experience. The service was amazing. The food surprising. the level of noise a down point.
We were pleasantly surprised with how the chef elevated the level of your typical Asian foods. I was also glad to see vegetarian options!
Worth the hype!!! The ambiance, the decor, the background music all complemented the exceptional quality of the food. Definitely not your traditional Filipino food spot. It takes it to another level (in a good way) where it blends some of that familiar taste I grew up with (as a Filipino) and fuses it with modern ingredients that just work so well together and allows for a great food experience. Props to Chef Tara Monsod for putting the culture on the map and I am definitely excited to come back and try the rest of the menu. And gah damn, I want some more Sweet Sticky Rice Creme Brulee!!!
Top notch place! Was recommended this thru the OpenTable channel. Amazing food (don't skip out on the scallop crudo), great atmosphere, and the bartenders were extremely personable and helpful when it came to guiding the menu. Cocktails were yummy too! Would highly recommend and will definitely return.
It was a great experience overall, we were anxious to dine there and it didn't disappoint, delicious all around.
Delightful and flavorful! Kare kare is my favorite childhood dish and the chef brought me back to my aunt's kitchen. The services was beyond attentive. My friends and I enjoyed the music play list as well. I would definitely come back and try the other dishes.
Food and service was really good. The hostess was a little cranky because we did not want the worst table in the restaurant!
We celebrated a friend's birthday. The staff made this a very special night for all. Birthday girl was excited and very happy with the service and the staff. The food was memorable. Will have to go back soon.

Disappointing . Food took far too long and waitress didn't guide us with ordering at all . We left so much food .
Incredible as always! Food, staff, ambiance, music - all on point! Can't wait to go back :)
First time here with my girlfriend. The food, atmosphere and service was amazing! We will definitely be coming back here and trying more things. We even got a free dessert since it was our anniversary. The manager gave us another free dessert since we couldn't get a booth that I requested. Top notch service :)
Despite making reservations, we still had to wait for our table to become available. When it was, we were sat underneath a vent, next to the kitchen when other tables were available. This ruined the ambiance since the light and sound every time the door opened overwhelmed the dark, relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress seemed distant when serving us when others were more engaged with their tables. I was hoping for something a little warmer since we were celebrating a birthday. I was very pleased with the food as it was very delicious and well presented.
Absolutely amazing. Food was incredible as was the service. Austin was our waiter and he was funny and attentive. Dessert was incredible. All around amazing experience!
