   Incredibly new flavors for me! I am an avid restaurant goer and there are flavor combinations that this new to me cuisine that are mind blowing. Suggest asking your server how they like to eat there - it was the best decision we made. Will be back in the next week 100% to try more!

   We chose the Daily Tikim Chef Choice Tasting Menu because everything on the menu sounded amazing. The tasting menu did not disappoint - wonderful variety of flavors and foods. Love all the mocktail selections!

   Came here on a Monday night to celebrate my daughter's birthday. They only have street parking. We opted for the Tikim in the menu for $49 each. There were 3 of us, totalling $150. This was a rip off. This is what was served to us in this Tikim: 1st set served in a bamboo tray: Lumpia - $15 tuhog - Kabuti - $7 tuhog - Manok - $8 tuhog - Lengua - $9 pancit - $17 Total for the 1st set was $56 Then we were served the main course Laing - $12 Chicken inasal - $37 Total for the main courses - $49 Then we were served dessert bibingka(2 plates, not 3) - $24 Total of all that is $129 Now the taste of the food. Pancit was very delicious. Lumpia was not wrapped properly that the filling fell off the wrapping. The tuhogs were very good.. Very tasty. The laing was just okay. It needed more salt and coconut milk. Chicken inasal was a little dry. The inasal came with tinola soup and it had no taste. I couldnt even task the ginger which is the important part of the soup. The bibingka was not very good. Outside of the tikim, we ordered the pandesal. Which did not have a pandesal texture. But the bulalo butter was to die for. Yummy. We were given a pandan cheesecake for my daughter's birthday as a complimentary dessert. It was pretty good. Not that sweet that I can eat the whole thing. Overall, setting aside the disappointment of the Tikim, it was still worth a try.

   The food and drink were wonderful and the service was fantastic. All the staff were delightful. My girlfriend and I agreed that our waiter, Stephen, was the best waiter we’ve ever had. He guided us through the menu and gave helpful suggestions that really brought our experience to the next level. The atmosphere was a huge highlight. We couldn’t get over how beautiful the whole place was. Overall an absolutely wonderful time and one that we’ll have to do again when we were in town.

   Cocktails and mocktails were next level. Lovely service. We have never had Filipino food before, so we can’t comment on how traditional or authentic it is, but it was absolutely delicious.

   At the insistence of our server, we ordered the family-style chef’s choice menu. There were many items we wished we could have tried and may have been better choosing our own destiny. The only thing that was downright bad were the mussels (entree). The whole thing was super fishy and we elected not to eat it. The papaya isla cocktail was delicious and I’d go back just for it.

    The food is fine. Nothing memorably good or bad. Presentation and preparation could both be refined. Service was inconsistent—everyone’s entrees came out at different times and additional orders of drinks or food seemed to take ages to come out. Cute vibes but overall not a place I’d return to.
