3/5 Malli S. 7 months ago on Google
Nice
decor
and
vibe,
friendly
staff,
but
flawed
ordering
system
resulting
in
mediocre
overall
experience.
My
experience:
I
was
very
excited
to
see
a
new
Filipino
restaurant
on
Google
maps,
so
I
booked
a
table
for
dinner
on
my
birthday.
After
some
trouble
finding
a
parking
spot,
we
were
warmly
received
and
able
to
order.
Unfortunately
our
order
was
forgotten/delayed,
so
we
sat
there
hungry
for
more
than
an
hour
watching
the
other
guests
being
served.
We
ordered
another
round
of
drinks
to
tie
us
over
which
was
also
delayed.
I
initially
wanted
to
stay
for
dessert,
but
after
we
had
finally
gotten
(and
inhaled!)
the
meal,
I
was
so
miserable
that
I
just
wanted
to
go
home.
The
food/concept:
This
place
shouldn't
call
itself
Filipino.
The
most
Filipino
thing
about
this
establishment
is
its
name.
It
has
3
or
4
Filipino
dishes
next
to
many
others
(Belgian
and
Asian
ones).
Not
a
problem
in
itself,
but
they
clearly
can't
live
up
to
what
they
promise.
My
biggest
problem
was
their
adobo.
It's
the
national
dish
of
the
Philippines,
popular
worldwide
and
very
easy
to
get
right.
They
served
chicken
in
soy
sauce
with
pineapple
-
edible,
but
neither
authentic
nor
particularly
tasty.
No
sign
of
garlic
or
vinegar.
Just
for
that,
I
would
have
been
ashamed
to
bring
any
family
from
the
Philippines
there
which
I
luckily
didn't.
To
be
fair,
the
rest
of
the
food
was
good,
suitable
portions,
nice
presentation
and
the
calamansi
juice
was
excellent.
Prices
were
quite
reasonable,
despite
inflation
which
you
now
see
everywhere.
Conclusion:
Probably
a
nice
place
for
a
casual
dinner
if
you're
looking
for
unspecific
Asian
fare
(and
if
you're
not
Asian).
Parking
has
become
very
difficult
on
Pl
St
Lambert,
not
the
restaurant's
fault,
but
still
a
factor.
My
personal
experience
was
very
disappointing,
but
if
you're
luckier
than
me,
you
might
have
a
good
time
there.
I
mean
most
other
guests
(all
Caucasian)
seemed
happy.
