Enjoyed the restaurant ambience, the servers/staff, and the food. As a 2nd Generation Filipina, the food and flavors in the dishes served were nostalgic with a beautiful modern american flair to it. Take for example their pan de sal - served fresh and warm with a side chamoy butter and a marrow butter. It was delicious. Pancit was incredibly flavorful. Main course was served with different sauces (a broth and a chili) and plenty of rice. The ube dessert reminded me of all the family parties I attended and how I used to stuff my face with them. Only the dessert arrived super fancy and with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and toasted coconut - quite the American Gastronomy. However, the dishes were incredibly heavy on the salt. My husband and I felt so full after the first course (we opted for the three course "journey") and took a few bites of the remaining courses before packing it all up and heading home. I brought the leftovers to my mom who has cut back significantly on salt due to potential high blood pressure and even she was feeling the intensity of the salt within the first few bites. That being said, I do recommend dining here and also I suggest drinking lots of water before and after your meal.
