Stopped by for a drink after a disappointing dinner nearby, and oh man was that a great idea. The drinks themselves were fantastic (mai tai and frozen pina colada, both done creatively with perfect execution), the bartenders were fun to talk to, and the playlist set the tone for a perfect night out. I can’t wait to come back.

Great hidden gem, place is not really visible from Main st it’s tucked in in the back but oh boy it is worth it me and my annoying wife found this place randomly and we fell in love with it the food came out fast and it was the BEST try it out you won’t be sorry.

Came in the other night and had a blast! This place is a total hidden gem — just tucked off Main Street and easy to miss. The drinks are creative, tasty, and strong. Food is totally unique for the area. Me and my wife shared the chicken and lumpia. Pricing is pretty competitive for what we’ve seen in Chatham.
This is a don’t miss!! Super unique and FUN!!

For our family born and raised in Manila PH, our experience was beyond disappointing, this is Not Filipino food. It may say it’s “Filipino inspired” but that’s like saying Olive Garden is homemade Italian.
The prices for the portions are outrageous, we could not believe one siaopao was 12$ and one cup of rice for 7$!! All of our food arrived cold and the monkfish loco moco patty looked rotten and honestly everything tasted very bland. The tacos didn’t even come with a side just the 2 tacos no rice.
We also found it very disrespectful that the server (older blonde woman) did not know how to say any of the dishes names and made jokes of how hard they are to pronounce. It is so hard to find Pinoy restaurants and store to support and we were so excited to try this place out but we will definitely not be back. Maybe try putting an actual Filipino in the kitchen to do some taste testing.
Truly very sad to say we all arrived back home hungry and disappointed, and ended up going the store to remake dinner for the family

Arrived at 5 pm on a Friday, easy to get a table. Cute place, tucked behind busy Main St. Waitress was attentive but bar was so backed up that drinks arrived after our appetizers were half gone! Pork tacos were very good, empanadas were way too doughy, lumpia was good as well but siopao cheeseburger had no beef in it. All in all, food was mediocre at best.

Service was good. Drinks were good. Food was not. No one at the table finished their food. If you order the monkfish it's this weird color when you cut into it. Maybe that's normal - I don't know- but just fyi because I did not expect it.

Not a place to get Authentic Filipino food. It may be best to say it’s ‘Filipino inspired’ in their marketing.
We ordered the bihon with empanadas but was given the egg noodles with tofu.
Bistek could have used some lime to introduce acidity to the beef.
My daughter loved the Filipino Horchata.
The lumpia was mediocre.
I am open to trying other dishes to give it another chance though I am a bit disappointed, It’s whitewashed Filipino food at best.

I want to start off by saying my wife is 100% Filipino and cooks Filipino food. If you’re looking for authentic, tasty, Filipino food then come here! Even if you are looking to try Filipino food for the first time, come here! The food was absolutely amazing and you can definitely the recipe is authentic Filipino. Their food selection was great and the atmosphere was amazing! My wife and I will definitely be coming back here next time we visit.

Lucinda & Tom, have taken this space and made it their own. With fun Pacific Island décor, its a great place to stop by for lunch, an afternoon snack, a cocktail, or a casual dinner. Having tried most everything on the menu, there isn't a bad choice on the menu. But my personal favorites are the Lumpia and BBQ chicken Skewers.

Won’t aNswer phone, won’t post music times, tried to call to see when music is, it would be nice if that was on website or someone answered phone- not professional

Great little spot. Pretty new. They allow dogs. Staff is super friendly. It’s all outdoors and they’ve got games like jenga.
