An excellent choice for Filipino food, even if you think you don’t much love Filipino food. The dishes here are actually tasty. Most of all, I recommend the Sinigang, beef brisket (or pork) in a tamarind sauce, with green beans. The milkfish is very good, with kale cooked in coconut milk, and the sweet tocino is another highlight. The general orientation here is Filipino barbecue, but the dishes are careful enough and sophisticated enough to transcend that genre. This is also a great place to bring kids, as they have a separate “coloring station” on one side of the place set up for them. Recommended.
