Went in for dine in, staff was personable and kind. Was very excited to try menu for first time, was extremely disappointed I ordered what was supposed to be a soup and was served a bowl of smelly pork in gelatin, hard boiled eggs with noodles and pork rinds. I couldn't finish it and payed my bill and left I had such high hopes for them

Party of 3. One child, no children’s menu was offered nor was the Valentine’s Day menu offered to us. No extra napkins or side plates offered for our appetizer. The 3 dishes came separately and 10-15 minutes apart leaving us with cold food by the time the final dish came. The last dish (picture attached) tasted of burnt chicken and the rice was cold to the touch. We never were checked on to see how the food was. Very disappointing as I was looking forward to the meal.

Overall this was an excellent experience. The food was delicious and the server was really good. I gave the service a 4, however because the length of time it took to get the food and to get the bill was a little longer than I would have liked. I suspect this was because it got busier in the restaurant and there was only one server. I will definitely be back the next time I am in town. For those unfamiliar with food from the Philippines, like I was, I would recommend you give it a try. You will be glad you did.

Me and my friends ate buffet here yesterday. Im expecting reasonable price on their food. Im quite disappointed specially on there soup. I dont know if it is soup or just plain water? Ive rather go somewhere else, I guess. maybe their à la carte is better than the buffet?

First time eating from here! I called and asked if they serve Caldareta, they didnt, BUT they said theyd make it anyways! We ordered sisig, beef Pares and pansit. First off, you guys did an amazing job on the Caldareta, just the right amount of spice, the flavour was awesome too! I hope it goes on the menu Id gladly come back for more! Everything else was honestly delicious, no complaints on portion sizes either. Nothing but good things to say and will be our go to for take out for sure. Keep up the great work!

The worst Filipino Restaurant. Went to eat and after the first servings, no one there for me to ask for more orders. So we decided to just pay and leave...but we cant leave. No one is there to check on us and the guy made us wait for 20 min...They think doing business like this is like for fun and game...very, very not organized..I never will come back to this place...when in Fort Mc Murray...

Food was great, fair portion, delicious taste. Sad, because it would ve been a perfect experience if the service was as good as the food. The greeting I got was yelled from the kitchen PICK UP? , when I clarified that I was looking to order, nothing was said, instead of welcoming me, asking me if I wanted to see the menu etc. the person just went straight to the cashier without uttering a word expecting me to say what I wanted, no words at all. So I had to ask for the menu. When I was ready to order I got a dry ready? . The wait was not bad, it was fair. A different person handed out the food, they didn t even look at me, they just handed the bag while looking away, not a word! Lol. They must be doing amazing , financially speaking, so maybe that s why they are so confident in not finding it necessary to be nice with customers or just choosing who to be nice with. A couple of fancy woman walked in as I was handed my order and they got a smile and a welcome, lucky them. The food was good so if I m craving I ll just order through skip-the-dishes next time.

My dining experience at this establishment left much to be desired. The sinigang, a classic Filipino dish, fell short with hard okra and a scarcity of pechay. The imbalance of soup to meat ratio is sad. The spaghetti lacked the culinary finesse expected, failing to meet even basic standards. The solitary redemption was the BBQ, the sole saving grace in an otherwise disappointing affair. A plea to the owner: prioritize quality control to salvage the reputation of this establishment.

Very bad customer service. The don t know the menu, not friendly. The place in incredible warm and very uncomfortable. I could not eat anymore, the veggies were frozen, not homemade, the meet was dry, along with the rice. Growing up with a lola (filipino grandma) I am very upset, and would not even take her here. It s getting 2 starts because the place was clean, an very vibrant.

December 22, 2022

Literally stood there and waited to be seated for 15 minutes. The girl working the front avoided eye contact and wouldnt acknowledge us, so we left. Very strange place.

I am proud that La Mesita is a restaurant where I Can invite friends and colleagues for meals. The place is brightly decorated with flowers and plants. The food is excellent, has big portions, attractively plated, and deliciously cooked. The menu has pictures and descriptions that anyone can understand. International and filipino food are served and there s something for each one. My colleagues loved it today and asked me why I didn t take them there sooner. As soon as they saw the menu, they said they want to come back, bring a friend, and try the other dishes. They also said that they hope that La Mesita stays many years in the business. That s exactly what I am hoping for too. Ryan, Ranie, and Roxanne, keep on doing what you do best and you are a great team! Stay strong

What a cute spot! The owner does such an amazing job with decorating that you can see his pride and passion for his buisness. The food is really good too. This is my go-to place when my Filipino mom is out of town and Im craving Filipino food. I was recently here for breakfast and coffee and I enjoyed using this place a study spot for school. That Staff were friendly also.
