I am a Filipino American; but I personally don't like to eat Filipino food when I go out to eat. Why? Because it's so much better when you have Filipino friends and family that can cook better, plus it's way too common here.
I took out a friend's daughter and circumstances led us to The Wooden Table. I was going in blind and didn't get to do any research on this place, so I wasn't expecting much. It's a unique place because it's two restaurants (The Paris City Cafe and The Wooden Table) with two different cuisines (American/Italian and Filipino respectively), two different sets of staff (different colored uniforms distinguish the two); but the restaurants are physically connected in the middle, staff move between both sides AND you can order off of either menu no matter which side you're on.
Both sides are decorated in warm wood tones and rich reds. The furniture has an old style elegance to them. There's book shelves scattered throughout both restaurants, and cozy arm chairs to relax in if you're not eating a meal.
The Wooden Table serves up delicious Filipino food and decadent desserts from Planet Chocolate in a romantic and elegant atmosphere. Make sure to stop by the replicas of the Eiffel tower and their balcony for some memorable shots. read more
