Questions, Answered

The quick answers before you visit.

Do I need a reservation for brunch?
Walk-ins are welcome, but we highly recommend reserving through OpenTable. Our weekend brunch fills up quickly, and a reservation is the best way to be sure of your table. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm, with last seating at 2:45pm.
Are you open for walk-in dining during the week?
We are a little different from a typical restaurant. Weekend brunch is open dining, and the rest of the week our kitchen is devoted to cooking classes, supper club dinners, chef's table evenings, and private events, all by reservation. It means every experience is planned with care and never rushed.
What are your supper clubs?
Every month we host a different supper club. From our signature Kamayan Tower dinner to chef's table evenings and collaborations with other chefs, we showcase Filipino and other cuisines in ways you will not find anywhere else. The theme changes and the table always surprises.
How do I see and book upcoming dinners?
Our upcoming dinners and supper clubs are listed right on this page, with new experiences added every month. Reserve your seat there, or call us at (732) 497-2698 and we will help you plan your evening.
Can you host a private dinner or celebration?
Yes, and it is one of our favorite things to do. We host private dinners, private supper clubs, and celebrations with a bespoke menu designed together with our chefs. Tell us what you are dreaming of and we will build the evening around you.
I am bringing a large group. How do I reserve?
For larger parties, call us at (732) 497-2698 and we will arrange your reservation personally. We will help plan your table so everyone is seated together and well taken care of.
Is there a secret menu?
We do keep a few special dishes beyond our regular menu that you can add to your party, even at brunch. These are available by pre-order only, so call ahead and we will have them ready and waiting for your table.
