The entrees and appetizers were overly salty and lacked the traditional Filipino flavors I was hoping for. The bistek, while a decent steak, seemed to be seasoned simply with salt and pepper, failing to truly embody the flavors of bistek. The adobo had a similar issue, lacking the signature taste of adobo and being overly salty. On the bright side, the cocktails were delicious. If you're looking for authentic Filipino cuisine, this may not be the best choice, but if you're in the mood for decent food in general, it could be worth a try to form your own opinion.

All the dishes were delicious, though the salad had too much dressing for our liking. The crab cake, priced at a hefty $33, was large and came alone on the plate. The sablefish, priced at $37, was accompanied by a tasty broth. Considering the prices of the entrees, we expected them to come with additional accompaniments on the plate.

Despite the unusually cold Seattle weather, we were seated at the communal fire table in the center of the restaurant, where we found it uncomfortably chilly. Even our server kept her jacket on throughout the entire evening. Unfortunately, this somewhat affected our overall dining experience as we ate quickly and left soon after. However, I would definitely consider returning on a warm summer evening.
