   I was really excited to have an upscale Filipino dining experience but unfortunately my visit was less than stellar. Firstly, the restaurant was over crowded. It seemed really tight and even the staff struggled to get around. Secondly, the actual service seemed disjointed. The hostess seemed like she needed back up, and the server for my table never seemed to check on me (or the table next to me.) I waited 20 minutes for my drink, and around 45 for my meal. For an approximately $80 prix fixe meal, I expect a certain level of service and that wasn’t hit. Lastly, the food really not as good as I hoped. They offered a pandesal that was too small for the “spreads” they offered (one of which came late). The lumpia filling dislodged from its wrapper and the wagyu steak I ordered did not work well with its sides. In the end, I opted to leave earlier than I intended. I feel like my table neighbors felt the same because I could hear their entire conversation at normal speaking volume. I am willing to accept it was an off day, but man that was memorably bad.

   Amazing experience at Abaca! We did the tasting menu and everything we ate was phenomenal! Our waiter Alery was so knowledgeable and brought such enthusiasm! Our favorite dish was the Sisig with the house made hot sauce. The restaurant was chic inside of the Kimpton hotel. People were well dressed which was nice to see in SF :) We will definitely come back for special occasions.

   Everyone at Abaca was great. We live in the neighborhood and we look forward to visiting again. The cocktails were great, the food was delicious, and it’s nice to know there a breakfast spot in the neighborhood too! The tasting menu was a perfect introduction to the menu.

   The food was exceptional! We had the OG Balut (vinegar addition was tasty), thin cut pork skewers, sisig fried rice, and Wagyu pares (star of the show). The ube colada and ube mocha (asked for coffee with ube cream) was also tasty. Staff were very warm, friendly, and helpful with the menu. Abacá needs their own restaurant! No complaints, excellent experience.

   Can't leave the bay area without trying this place out. Serving Filipino food with great sophistication. Sat in the bar as a solo diner. I had pork lumpia, pork bbq skewers, chicken adobo skewers, and trout belly toast. Everything tasted great and their versions showed the rest of the world the potential for Filipino food to go mainstream. Will definitely return on my next trip to the bay.

   This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had during our trip over the weekend. My son was so happy with our dining experience too. We did not order much since we wanted to try different things throughout the day but next time I will want to order more. The Trout Toast, Sisig Fried Rice, Adobo sticks and Pork Sticks are definitely a must. Oh and yes the Ube Colada which we got as a virgin drink. Loved the whole experience and the vibe.

   My young niece really likes the pandasal bread and asked for a second order. Everyone liked their drinks. The employees wrote a birthday card which was a nice touch :)

   We came in to celebrate our engagement & were able to try the SF Restaurant Week tasting menu, we were absolutely blown away by how incredible everything was. The food was some of the best we have ever had, the service was quick and the servers were all incredibly kind and helpful. When the server found out we had just gotten engaged they brought back a card signed by the kitchen staff congratulating us, which we greatly appreciated. They made our night very special and we will absolutely be back with family in the future.

    I've wanted to try the Philippine cuisine at Abaca since I first heard about them. The experience was better than I had hoped. The space is beautiful and the restaurant is wonderful. I look forward to going back. When we walked in the host asked if we were celebrating anything special. I said it was a belated birthday celebration for my friend. After that every employee we came in contact with wished him a happy birthday. They even printed out a card. It was a great way to make us feel welcome. Our server, Keoki, was great about explaining the menu and all the sections. We were also lucky to be there during restaurant week. There was a special price on the four course price fixed menu. All of his recommendations were spot on from the cocktails to the side dishes, main courses, and sake. Every dish was delicious and many were outstanding. The pork lumpia, pork skewers, trout toast, and sisig rice are all worth another try. There are also many more items on the menu that I want to try. That includes the vegetarian lumpia. The duck entree was also unusual and amazing. I recommend doing the price fixed meal because it's an incredible value. Again, every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. A special thanks to Keoki for knowing the menu so well and understanding our tastes to point us to the perfect dishes. I look forward to my next visit.
