Definitely not your typical brunch. We loved the Filipino inspired creations. Don’t skip the French toast with caviar hollandaise, crumbled bacon, and shrimp. It’s AMAZING!
Funky take on Filipino cuisine.
My party of 4 had Good food but bad service and auto 20% charge - for what? Bad service? Coffee received after meal, guest who had pastry- ensaymada got his food after everyone had eaten. Needs over haul!
