   An interesting take on Filipino classics, but tends to fall short quite a bit in value, flavor and experience. The pandesal was cold in the middle, lamb skewer immensely bitter and many of the dishes just failing to impress for their $$$.

   We went for NYE and had an absolute blast!! The food was incredible, the service was incredible, the staff as a whole were so friendly and fun, and the vibes were fantastic with all the drinks and karaoke and dancing. 1000/10 we will absolutely be coming back here. We ordered 1-2 of everything they had on the menu and we did not have a single bad bite. Best new restaurant in Denver hands down!

   I had never been here before, but my first time was for their new year’s eve party. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t it. Free seating was fine. We got a table right away. We were very excited for the karaoke, but when I walked up and asked if I could sign up, they turned me away and said they’d find me. All the staff seemed extremely overwhelmed and unprepared for the chaos. The flyer was very misleading. We were under the impression we would be getting champagne and fried chicken for the $30 door fee. $30 for bottomless champagne isn’t bad, but they didn’t give you anything to mix it with. I’d rather have a beer. We still ordered a “bucket” of chicken which was actually just a cup of chicken. The food was very expensive for what it was.

   Great food! If you haven’t tried Filipino food, this is a must and this restaurant is the place to do it! Chef came by and talked to us for a bit. Enjoyed talking to him and how his life and how he became such an acclaimed, award winning chef!

   Interesting menu, but overpriced for the cook and food quality.

   Fabulous food! Very expensive relative to portion size, but we’ll be back as the quality and authenticity were spot on.

    Cocktails were fine. Lumpia was excellent and the Kinilaw was excellent (we recently ate a couple of meals at CEV in Siargao and it compared favorably). The Tokwa was nicely crisped but the powder on the surface got mixed reviews. Lechon Liempo was my crispy and juicy, but otherwise not much going on. The liver sauce was a hit. Laing was very good -- a little over sauced but tasty. Flan was excellent. Seemed a bit pricey. $6 for small bowl of rice but of a shock. Just back from Philippines and you get 2 mounds of rice with everything -- it's just part of the meal.

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us—we’re thrilled you enjoyed the Lumpia and Kinilaw, especially since you’ve recently been to Siargao. Regarding the pricing, we understand it can feel different from what you’d encounter in the Philippines. Our goal is to showcase high-quality ingredients and preparation, but we hear your concerns about portions and cost. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We hope you’ll visit us again soon and give us another chance to delight you with our take on Filipino cuisine. Christina Stone, General Manager
