We made an 11 AM reservation, which was a fantastic choice since we had the entire place to ourselves. We enjoyed the pares toast, kinilaw, pansit negra, Binondo steak rice, banana pudding, and guava spritz—everything was delicious! My husband, a cook himself, was particularly impressed with how they managed to remove the lansa from the squid while preserving its flavor. The staff made our anniversary even more special by surprising us with shots and a handwritten note—a truly thoughtful gesture! The only minor drawback was that the AC was a bit weak, possibly because they had just opened for the day. Overall, this was our first experience close to fine dining, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended! Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: ₱2,000+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Pansit Negra

The Adobo Pâté was a delightful surprise! It was perfectly whipped, light, and bursting with flavor. While the Sinuglaw lacked depth and texture, it was undoubtedly the most visually appealing dish we tried. We had a hard time distinguishing the fish from the meat in the Binondo steak fried rice; the steak was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the runny egg on top was the cherry on top. The banana bread fusion was a surprising combination of flavors that worked beautifully (it even had patis!). It was a fantastic way to cap off the evening. Each dish came with a thoughtfully chosen alcoholic pairing that complemented its flavors perfectly. Service: Dine-in. Meal type: Dinner. Price per person: ₱2,000+. Food: 4. Service: 5.

The Pansit Negra was packed with flavor, and the Mushroom Dinakdakan Toast was a masterpiece bursting with a subtle earthy taste! I'm excited to dine here at night next time I have the opportunity.
