Love coming back here! Purple patch has such a beautiful space and has such a wonderful range of options for all of its meals. I came for brunch this time and got the brunch calamansi tokwa and a calamansi soda. All of it was delicious as usual and I just have never been disappointed by the food here. Its always pretty easy to get a reservation and very reasonably priced.

Best laing I've ever had, great drinks, and good waiter. Really happy we came across this place. Really torn on the review, because the forced 20% service fee seems shady - why not just have your prices reflect the actual amount owed, rather than tacking on fees at the end?

I ordered the Filipino Bistek, and it was good. The portion might have been a bit small — or maybe I was just too hungry because I ended up ordering wings afterward. The attention was excellent 👌 We were a group of 18.
The place is large but feels like a maze — there are small rooms scattered around on different sides and levels.
