My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at this restaurant last weekend and we are thrilled that we chose this place. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was incredibly delicious (especially the empanadas... they were out of this world!), and the staff was wonderful. We will definitely be returning to try the desserts next time!

This restaurant is fantastic. I don't understand how it only has a rating of 4.6, because it deserves a perfect 5 stars. My girlfriend and I even debated over which dish was the best (it's the lumpia).

The restaurant offers fantastic and innovative dishes with bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The service was excellent, and I can't wait to return once they obtain their liquor license.

Not very familiar with Filipino food but I enjoyed this place a lot as a fusion spot. We came in near closing but the waitress was so kind and prompt even though she was the only one in the front. The “nigiri” was seriously flavorful, but thehighlight was the white chocolate flan. Never had basil on flan but it was a genius move. The restaurant interior is cute too.

Absolutely wonderful establishment. Everything from the amazing food, cooked and presented with perfection. To Hannah with ease single handedly running the front of a packed restaurant. I just wish I could give an even higher rating to the gem of arestaurant that I have found. Thanks guys for making my night.
