Editorial Review for Cebu – by James Zeleniak
In Short
The folks at Cebu have repackaged this dramatic space from Filipino cuisine to a "dipping grill" of various poultry and other meats ranging from pork loin to tuna. Vegetables also take the plunge and all are served with a selection of dipping sauces. Interesting. But if you're not into dunking your dinner, the bar scene offers another option.

We had good service (the place was empty at 6p.m. on a Saturday night), but the food was not good. "Paella" was recommended and we expected to get . . . well . . . at least something resembling paella. We received tomato sauced rice piled with mushy, inedible mussels, a few small clams, previously frozen shrimp, and yes. . . what resembled and tasted like KIELBASA!! My sirloin steak (accompanied by what tasted like dipping sauces assembled from bottled barbeque sauce) was fatty and gristle laden. The small asparagus spears were tasty, as was the sliced potato. My child's talapia was ok, but the 3 dipping sauces were not good, nor were they suited to the dish. We cut our losses and had ice cream from a local store for dessert. Not worth the time or money.
Pros: location, good service although place was empty
Cons: food, food, food - They also called 4 different times to confirm the reservation!!!

not only were the drinks incredibly small, but the bartenders were slow and rude. The bouncers were the most egotistical jerks and had control issues. They will kick you out for setting a drink down or closing your eyes while sitting. On the way out , my friend asked for me to wait until she got her coat so i turned around to help her - a bouncer shoved me outside and said i could wait outside ... then he proceeded to to accuse me of calling him the "N" word behind his back. The worst part - the managers don't care about what anyone says and completely ignore the issues.
Pros: looks nice, music
Cons: nowhere to dance, controlling and self-righteous
