   Came to Casa Manila for Kamayan. It was a very disappointing experience. We were initially seated at the wrong table and were not told until sitting down for 15 minutes. Nobody came by or told us - we needed to ask what was happening. Once sat at our actual table, we didn’t actually receive our food until 25-30 minutes later. We also put in drink orders and those didn’t come until we reminded them midway through the meal. It wasn’t until we were actually finished eating that they finally brought our drinks out. I was even more disappointed when the bill came. They are obviously completely unaware of the abhorrent service. I was expecting that the drinks would have at least been comped, but nothing. Two employees running around serving 10-15 tables is clearly not enough. They do not mention that Kamayan has a 15% service charge. I was in a rush to leave after spending over 2 hours there and did not realize it until afterwards that I added an additional 15%. Note that a 15% tip is VERY generous…tips are meant to commend good service and a good experience and this was neither. It’s really a shame because the taste of the food itself is good. However the service and portion sizes are subpar. A 30% tip was not deserved, not even close.

   Having to celebrate my hubby’s 40th and to introduce Filipino cuisine to his colleagues is something I look forward when I made the reservation here. But to spend more than $700 just to get a very bad service is regrettable! Service can be improved for sure! Food was ok, could be better as well. Lumpia was so salty, adobo is not the best, overcooked mixed vegetables. The drinks were served halfway the food was already eaten. I’m just regretting I could’ve than better and reserve somewhere else. I actually cried because it’s my husband’s 40th and I want it to be memorable!

   Would not come back - food was decent but servers were both disorganized and not attentive. Food was given to diners that sat and ordered after us. Portions were small.

   We waited for our food 1.5hr after ordering… absolutely insane wait time and the staff couldn’t give a response other than it’ll be ready soon

   I really enjoyed their food. The place is a bit more fancy than the Filipino restos that I’ve tried before so anyway, I did ordered their winterlicious menu and, again, I love it. Initially, I thought pares does not pair well with garlic rice since beef pares, by itself, offers lots of flavours already. At first bite of my beef and rice I honestly thought that maybe they should have just put a simple plain rice so it can highlight the taste of the pares but as I continue eating my meal and continue stirring the pares sauce with my rice it tasted really good and made me really full and satisfied. I’m looking forward to coming here again. If anyone from here want’s to try their kamayan with me hit me a message. ☺️ the photos of kamayan in their menu looks so delicious.

   Good service, warm atmosphere. Maybe as was winterlicious portion sizes were very small. Expected more.

    The staff were very pleasant and attentive. It did get busy so you had to wait sometimes. It’s reasonable. The food was decent. The ambience was nice and the restaurant was well decorated. The cost was a bit pricey. I would come to experience it at least once.
