Cendrillon is lovely inside, but not in a frou-frou way, the design feels warm & very comfortable. The owners also support local artists' with their work on the walls too. The owners have always been friendly to me, or at least gracious if it's busy. Overall the food is delicious. Yes to the adobo, kare kare, and the paella, ukoy & tapa salad. Triple yes to the goat curry appetizer & oh my god to the mango tart. No to the blueberry tart. My mom is Filipina (and a fabulous cook), so I grew up on good Filipino food. Cendrillon is not trying for traditional strictness, so if you're looking for replication of your favorite dishes it's not the place, but my family has always loved their food. Who can say no to goat cheese in the bibingka? Not traditional, but so good, who cares? Prices reasonable for Soho.
Pros: food, extensive tea list, comfortable
