We were seated quickly (they don 't take reservations) and the menu is on a QR code. The first thing listed are therestaurant 's set of rules, the first being that you will be charged a 20% service fee. I 've seen this at some resortlocations but I looked around and didn 't see a beach anywhere. Upon being seated they also ask for a phone number, which Ifound curious. Why? We started with the fried egg roll appetizer and they were just alright. For dinner we ordered a chickenskewer dish and pork with garlic fried rice. It was very good and the portions were generous. The server was very friendly andattentive. For dessert my friend ordered the ube bread pudding which was just OK. Overall a decent experience but they wouldhave had a better tip if they ditched their rules.

The chicken could be a bit less dry but the whole dish came together very well! The spicy mango margarita was amazing. I definitely recommend that.I’d get it again if I come back. The service was also amazing. The waiters took care of us very well and was very polite,friendly and attentive.

Can't give it enough stars. Sizzling sisig is very meat heavy and very well done. Bread pudding was excellent and the other few things we tried were great. Service was excellent, good vegetarian options, and I like that theyautomatically add 20% gratuity to your bill. Will definitely come back!

My cantaloupe frose was a little less sweet and very cold, so nicely refreshing on a hot day. I hadthe chicken adobe hash and wish I lived closer so I could come back more often to get it again. Super moist and flavorfulchicken. My friends got the Frozen Rainbow Kisses and Frozen Spicy Mango Margarita to drink, and then had the pork skewers andUbe cinnamon toast, and breakfast pork belly sandwich to eat. We recommend them all! The patio is really cute, although bewarethe bees, and the meal price was very reasonable.

Alex, their General Manager, is super knowledgeable especially with the history of the restaurant. I ordered the Pancit Mahal to go and me and my husband enjoyed it so much that for my birthday Dec 16) my husband surprised me with a delivery from Purple Patch. Plus, Jose made sure I enjoyed my birthday with a dessert and a personalized note to me with best wishes. I highly recommend Purple Patch if you want to try authentic traditional Filipino food. ????????????

The adobo had a little too much sauce, but everything tasted good and the ambiance was quaint and cozy (we sat outside). Don’t forget to check out their store upstairs for some to-go items!

Crab stuffed red snapper was great with an actually really good side salad. Get the banana bread w Ube ice cream dessert — just the right amount of sweetness. Only disappointment (not pictured) was the papaya salad — kinda dry like it had been sitting awhile.. not sure if that’s the intention of the dish. Overall, recommend!

I look at the food prior to coming, but I had low expectations. After dining there I can honestly say that my expectations are blown out of the water. Our server Ky (or Kai) did a great job giving us the full scope of the menu and different options we had as we were ordering our appetizers and entrées. We ordered enough food for the three of us to be satisfied. First we order the sweet pork skewers, grilled miso wings, crispy eggplant and the brussels sprouts. They were all awesome. My favorite was the brussels sprouts. Following we ordered three entrées. An item from the pork, seafood, and beef section. The ambience of this restaurant was very homey. Our seat was comfortable lounge couch. We spent about 2 1/2 hours there celebrating my friend’s birthday. I definitely look forward to coming back.

I ordered fried fish that were so overcooked that was little edible. it was dark, dry and hard, and looked like it had been fried several times. a strange, sugary sauce, pooled among the fish, makes her soggy. my companion ordered bark short ribs that were in fact not short ribs, but potted, a too small expensive part drown in another strange sweet sauce. neither of us could taste the garlic in our garlic rice. Thank you, but no thanks. never again.
