Variety of Filipino foods to select within the $$$ amount. Foods are decent and price on par with 4star restaurants. The restaurant is pretty big with lots of sitting/table area. Atmosphere is better than average restaurant with soft music and extra large aquarium.

Delicious food!!!! You might think they have common menu. Not until you tasted it. Try their baked fish, grilled pork liempo, crispy hito and many more!! I crave for their foods whenever i remember eating in that restaurant!! And the serving is more than enough!!! Try their ala carte for sharing if you are a group or a family! You wont regret it. Yummy!!

Huge parking space. The food is good. Hope they can hire a good band during Fridays and weekends. I've been here several times, and this is the only setback I noticed that their hired entertainers are underwhelming and so disappointing. Other small resto bars in town beats them in terms of entertainment.

As an American boy, this is a filipino restaurant that understands western sensibilities. The prices might look intimidating, but the portions are generous and adequately seasoned. I recommend the overloaded fries or nachos if you want an addictive merienda.
