    Service and food were great! They were out of one of their advertised monthly specials, but understandable as it's nearing the end of the month. Chris at the bar explained menu and specials to all guests at the bar, was very attentive and provided exceptional service. Special Cocktail, Golden Sun, was very tasty and refreshing. Elevated Filipino food was evident in the Lobster Lumpia; would definitely get again when it's on special. Pork Belly Adobo Fried Rice bowl with a sunny side egg is Filipino comfort food. I was surprised by free dessert - Bibingka, an authentic Filipino rice cake. While more expensive than other local Filipino restaurants, it is worth the splurge.
