I arrived at 5:25pm, and was pointed at the 2nd floor because there was an event on the 1st level. While seated at the waiting room just turned-off the lights and the air-con. Why? They open @ 6:00pm

One of my favourite Filipino restaurants ! Try their Lengua , salmon sinigang , kare kare and Laing Adobo Flakes . Plus their staff from the valet to the servers are all very friendly and it ain't fake!

Bran Man

The kare-kare is reasonably priced considering its healthy portion, the pinakbet is quite tasty albeit I'm not fond of shrimp paste , & the service is stellar! Peruse the historic photos on the walls.

GM Esguerra

Crispy tadyang , Callos and Bagnet Pakbet were delish! Though i think their sinigang na bangus belly in guava is overwhelmed by the tamarind taste. I'd rather have the original kapampangan recipe.

Czarina Ann Sanchez

Their Filipino food are good. I forgot their names but most of their food are yummy. A good little meet-up place for friends and family.

Geeky Pinas

Cool looking Cafe , has lots of picture frames and classy things and great food! Must try!

H M Tan

Local him cook food founded by the famous former diplomate - the late Romulo. Currently it is run by the third generation (i.e. Grand Children of Rumulo). Popular with locals.

Louis Guinez

Loved the callos , chicken relleno , sisig , fried rice with smoked fish and suman latik!

Myta Santiago

Most stuff on the menu a lot of us can do at home. Nice ambience though. A good place to bring balikbayan or foreign tourists .

Frazdic Sta Ana

Crispy Binagoonan and Tito Greg's Kare-Kare were superb. However, desserts were served in small servings and expensive in price. Over all, it's worth it.

Noreen Ricafrente

They open 11-3pm and 6-11pm daily! :) The interior is so classy ! Tito Greg's Kare Kare is divine! :)

JT Uy

I highly recommend Tito Greg's Beef Kare Kare . So good! Service is also excellent. Not cheap to eat here but you get what you pay for.. =)

I don't know if the chef was having an off night, but the chicken with tamarind sauce and the lechon kawali sisig were both so mind-blowingly salty as to be inedible.

Don't have dinner around 8pm as staff will start moving chairs and tables inspire of diners' presence. Will make you feel like they can't wait for you to leave. Disappointed last night.

Good food! Kare kare 's good. Parking is limited though.
