Best

I have been here numerous times, and being of Filipino descent, definitely recommend it for their tasty dishes! Yes, its a bit pricey, but what do you expect -- this is Manhattan....

Worst

I dined here last night with my boyfriend and three friends. The wait staff seemed to have forgotten about us, as it took them about 30 minutes to take our order. That we were sit...

Terrible and overpriced 4/4/2004

The food here is terrible. First of tall the menu selection was very sparse. After contemplating which of the whopping 5 entries that have we ordered Chicken Adobo thinking it should be one of the more popular items. I was very disappointed when we having a $18 tasteless dry chicken. The Chicken Inasal was just as bad. When we finished our meal we decided to give them another chance by ordering desert, Halo Halo. Typically this is great desert with ice shavings and mixed fruits. We simply got served a bowl of shaved ice. All I can say is just Imagine trying to eat ice for desert. I recommend you stay away from this resturant until they get better chefs. Cons: , Bad Desert, Tasteless more

My Favorite Restaurant in the City 12/8/2003

I've eaten at a gazillion NYC restaurants, and to date (15 yrs) I have still not found a spot that I love as much as Cendrillon. I have eaten here 30 times at least. The food is always highly satisfying -- tasty, fresh, and, most importantly, interesting. The adobo is brilliant, the fish specials are always yummy, the ribs are very flavorful, and the young coconut tart -- actually all of the desserts -- are a dream, so save room. Also, it is worth the price (completely reasonable, but not the Chinatown prices people sometimes expect for Asian cuisine). Pros: The Food, The Food, The Wine List more

Cendrillon? A tale come true 2/10/2003

I have been going to this place for the past 7 years. Should I say more? The food is delicate and well-researched, the decor warm and intimate, the lighting unique, the wine list very complete and the atmosphere stays family-like. They also support the arts (check the walls for rotating exhibits) and the foods of Asia (check the series of reknown guests Chefs). more

Great Fusion Food!! 2/4/2003

I love their chicken adobo. Their spring rolls were good too. Hmmm...and the service is excellent. They don't have authentic Filipino food, but the way they prepare all their dishes (fusion) is impressive. Presentation is simple and that's the way I like it for this type of cuisine. ONE REQUEST: GREEN MANGO SHAKE!!!! more

Overall good experience. 11/20/2002

Food: Tasty pan-Asian/Filipino cuisine. Try my favorite, the trout wrapped in bamboo leaves. Service: a bit sub par. Our oh-so-chic waitress obstained from half the items on the menu (give me a break) so she couldn't make subjective recommendations. She also pretended to be Filipino but my Filipino friend who dined with me blew her cover. Decor: Nice trendy-rustic decore that fit well in the SoHo neighborhood. Bottom Line: Good dining experience. This would be a excellent place if the portions were larger. And lose the wanna-be waitress. Pros: Tasty food, Nice atmosphere, Not crowded Cons: So-so service, Small-ish portions more

Soho vibe with serious wine 10/15/2002

Featured in a recent New Yorker Food Issue article, the nicely lit, faux-rustic place decorated with Asian artists' work has a laid-back, homey vibe; underneath lies a killer list of wines from great producers at excellent prices from all regions. When the owner/chef is in the kitchen the food is fresh and surprising -- a mix of Asian with American and French. On the times I've been there, many Filipinos where there, but it's definitely NOT a Filipino restaurant; more modern. Service is fair depending on server and the night. Pros: Wine list, Creative food, Laid-back nabe vibe Cons: Uneven service, Sometimes big groups, Uneven service more

don't come here 7/22/2002

I went there to impress one of my friends about filipino hospitality and good food - and I must say that I failed to deliver in both aspects...The waitress was too narcissistically busy checking herself out. The food was exorbitantly priced for its BLAH taste, not to mention the slow service. AHHHH I should have gone to Elvie's! Mura na, mabilis na, mas masarap pa! Pros: nice area Cons: expensive, slow service, poor attitude more
