When we arrived, the hostess told us that only one table, right near the entrance, was available. (During our 90 minutes there, all the "reserved" tables remained empty.) The waitstaff was somewhat attentive, but slow and a bit icy. We had the beef tapa salad, the duck and the spare ribs; all were fair. The mango tart was tasty, but not worth $8. If you want true Filipino cuisine, go to Ihawan in Woodside, Queens: delicious, unpretentious and inexpensive. If Manhattan sophistication equals an unsatisfying and overpriced meal in a dining room where regulars are fawned over and newcomers are ignored, stick with Cendrillon.
Pros: None
Cons: Overpriced food, Aloof hostess, Slow service
