Attic - San Mateo

The service was very disappointing—slow and unhelpful. We won’t be dining there again and wouldn’t recommend it to our friends.

Good eating with beautiful ambiente. we enjoyed eating especially when it was chef tim luym. they have a happy hour in the ground floor and the price is right.

Someone wrote on Yelp review they were served burnt sisig. I was thinking prior to booking reservation here how could a Filipino restaurant ruin a signature dish? Well, turns out they can. Majority of us in our party has not tried Filipino cuisine before so we ordered sisig. When waiter came to ask us if everything was okay, we told him our sisig was burnt. They did not replace the dish, apologize or comp our bill. Waiter only said I will tell the kitchen . So that was a big F for fail. Another review on Yelp called place quaint. We all thought the owner either ran out of fund/got cheap with the upstairs dining area. They certainly could use some major redecorating along with adding an AC upstairs. For the dinner, the adobo and garlic noodles were okay. The real highlight was the female bartender in the front of the restaurant on ground floor. She was friendly and made us felt welcome. Always nice to be greeted with a big smile with professionalism. Unfortunately, this place did not convince any of us we should seek out more Filipino cuisine.

We stopped by for a casual dinner after a SoulCycle class in San Mateo. The food was enjoyable and the service was quick. I’d recommend it for a weeknight meal.

They have a very limited menu. We went on a Saturday night and they were out of most of the things on the menu. First we had to order things we did. It come for and even those were great. The long life garlic noodles was also just okay. Not a very great experience.
