I don’t know enough about Filipino cooking to know whether the cooking is just not to my taste, or whether Cebu is not that great at Filipino cooking in the first place, but the food was bland, uninspired and frankly uninteresting.The service was excellent and attentive, but I think you’re better off spending $80-$100 per person elsewhere.

DELICIOUS. Named after a city in the Philippines, Cebu serves up really tasty Filipino food! The servers were wonderful and attentive, and the food was amazing!... read more DELICIOUS. Named after a city in the Philippines, Cebu serves up really tasty Filipino food! The servers were wonderful and attentive, and the food was amazing! I definitely recommend going in a group and sharing family style so you can try as many dishes as possible. Also, make sure to make a reservation! The 7 of us shared the following (and we left feeling full): Tuna kinilaw (Filipino ceviche) Inihaw na Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly) Gambas (shrimp) Calamari lumpia (2 orders) Wagyu Sisig Grilled Octopus 2 Pitchers of Ube Painkiller All of the food was delicious! My top 3 were the grilled pork belly, gambas, and lumpia. We ordered extra coconut rice on the side which helped soak up all the sauces and was a delicious flavor on its own. Definitely get the Ube Painkiller if you're in the mood for drinks. It tastes so good and you don't taste the alcohol so beware! They automatically added a 20% gratuity for our party of 7, just a heads up! Overall was a reasonable price for such great quality food, drink, and space. Definitely recommend!

It would greatly benefit from some noise-cancelling installation.

However, it is on the pricey side. Paying $7.00 for a cup of coffee is quite steep. Our breakfast for 3 people ended up costing $132.00. Overall, the food and service were superb, but it's definitely on the expensive side.
