I liked the decor. The carabao (warer buffalo) vertebrae and papier mache boats were artfully placed. Reminds me of my Motherland. The food was fantastic. I love the Kalamansi Meringue pie. The servings were generous so share like a true Filipino. The chef given us a rice cake on the house. We were stuffed so I brought the leche flan home for my lovely wife.

The lumpia was freshly rolled. The sisig was very good. oxtails were the smaller boned (easier to eat) very tender and was better than some, the dried beef was very good. The halo-halo was perfect for the three of us. Masarap! We'll be back. Service and food came out very quickly. Great job.
