Abacá offers a great dining experience with inventive, beautifully presented dishes. The restaurant serves a modern take on Filipino cuisine, with amazing smaller dishes perfect for sharing. The lumpia and thin-cut pork are outstanding choices, and the menu also features a variety of Filipino-inspired dishes with a contemporary spin. The ambiance is unique, casual enough during the day to bring children, but likely more intimate in the evening. The service is excellent, with attentive staff like Keoki who take the time to accommodate dietary restrictions and explain the menu thoroughly. The experience often begins with snacks and small plates, such as Pork Bone Broth, Tomato Mousse, Lola’s Pork Lumpia, Squid Lumpia, and Chicken Adobo BBQ sticks, all elegantly plated and full of intense flavors. Many dishes, including Blue Fin Tuna on a bed of eggplant and cashew, are attractively presented and memorable. Creative drinks like Alapaap or Calamansi Faux Daiquiri serve as palate cleansers, and desserts such as Cariocca and apricot sorbet topped with lychee sake provide a sweet ending. Recent reviews highlight the inventive takes on Filipino favorites, with flavor combinations that surprised and created new culinary moments. Dishes like seafood chowder, kaldereta dumplings, and sisig fried rice are described as off the chain. The cocktails and mocktails are multilayered and scrumptious, adding to the overall experience. The restaurant also shows care for its guests, with friendly staff and thoughtful touches like a birthday dessert and a signed card, making it perfect for special occasions or nights out with friends. The ambiance is both refined and unpretentious, offering a cozy setting for flavorful Filipino-inspired dishes.
The restaurant impresses with both its food and service. Sitting by the bar, guests are well taken care of by staff like Lance. The menu includes dishes like lupia, chicken and mushroom skewers, which are different from traditional Filipino cuisine but very enjoyable. The chef, Francis Anh, is an award-winning rising star chef in SF. The main course, samurai pork chop, is daringly prepared medium rare and highly recommended. The menu offers a range of options, including Lola’s pork lumpia, chicken adobo, BBQ pork, Black Cod with wild mushrooms and mung beans, and Sisiq Fried Rice with tangy calamansi flavor and a little spice. The Faux Calamansi paired with jasmine tea mousse adds a citrusy explosion. Overall, the experience is surprising and good, both in food and service, making it a worthwhile visit for those wanting modern Filipino dishes in a friendly, attentive environment.
