The Omakase is great. Amazing saké selection. The staff is wonderful - very knowledgeable with good recommendations.
Wonderful menu selection and ambiance! We really enjoyed our food and time there.
This restaurant was amazing! Pretty much farm to table, great ambiance, great staff with recommendations! The manager came to check on people also! Customer service was great! Food was even better! We surprisingly showed up during restaurant week and it was amazing!

El Nido offers an exceptional dining experience with attentive and friendly service. The restaurant's accommodating staff ensures a pleasant atmosphere, whether sitting in the bar area or main dining room. The menu boasts excellently prepared dishes, including the bison pappardelle, grilled salmon, and sea bass special. Starters like the butternut squash/pear bisque and desserts like the generous Tiramisu portion are also highlights. The staff, while sometimes young and inexperienced, are well-intentioned and strive to provide a smooth dinner experience. The restaurant is often busy, but the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food make it a neighborhood favorite, even among the many tourists who dine there. Guests have praised the excellent service, with waitstaff like Emily and Carlos providing great suggestions and attention to detail, especially for those with dietary restrictions. The fresh raw and baked oysters, as well as the black cod and chicken schnitzel, have been highlighted as standout dishes. Overall, El Nido is a top-rated restaurant that promises a delightful meal.
