Review & Rating
Make sure you meet Brian, the dining manager. He will be guarantee that you have a great time. Place should be crowded but isn't. Tasty and unique, great patio.
Exotic food that you don't usually find elsewhere. Some dishes were great! Waiters were a bit on the slow side.
The Titi Mary cocktail was great! I got the crispy tuna off the bar food menu. However, looking around at some of the other customer's plates had made me wish l had been a bit more adventurous. There is a lot of pork on the menu. But that is true to the culture, l just don't usually prefer pork. There are also beef brisket, chicken, tofu , shrimp and tofu options. I also got the banana and jackfruit crispy egg roll dessert. It was very good too. Staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed there.
The food was very good, different for my palate but spicy and tasty. The service was friendly and timely. We were checked on multiple times by our service person but it was not too much or too little. The place looks great, there is a bar as well as a dining area. The food didn't take too long. It was a buy sparse for the money for my taste, which is why I only give it a 3.
Pretty good food, nice staff. The building itself is very nice. You feel like you're in a trendy new restaurant, but then you get old school style cooking. Not badly priced, and the food has good flavor. I will go back to try a few other things.
A cozy and welcoming dining experience is hard to find, but this place delivers in excess. From the moment you walk in and greeted, when the server comes and even as you walk out the door. Everyone is smiling and friendly. My daughter and I went for a lunch date on a Saturday afternoon. Her grandma is from the Philippines and we had high expectations. They did not disappoint. P.S. get the Halo Halo, it’s amazing
Food was good. It was a modern take on traditional Filipino food. I know it was a lunch rush but waiters/staff weren’t very attentive
There IS good Filo food in Austin!! Even compared to some of the best places in NYC, this place is authentic with fun twists on Filipino food, especially for brunch. The juices for the brunch drinks are fresh (think fresh lychee and calamansi juices for mimosas). The food is so delicious we left stuffed and were surprised by how affordable the bill was when it came - even with our three brunch drinks! We will certainly be back here, after our diet of course .
Pretty good food if you're an omnivore, but my vegan fried rice came out with an egg on it and the replacement had surprise chicken in addition to the tofu. I'm normally not too worried about "non-vegan contamination" type issues, but when you make a choice to not eat animals and get a surprise like that it's not pleasant. (The dish was marked vegan on the menu... This wasn't a special order or anything)
I hate it when the service ruins what could have been a nice dining experience, yet that's exactly what happened last night at Be More Pacific. I very much enjoyed the airy upstairs outdoor space, The menu was full of unique, and interesting options and they even had small, but surprisingly diverse beer selection.......but alas, the service!!! It was 10 minutes before a server even approached our table, It took another 10 minutes for our server to bring my beer. I sensed there was a service issue and asked to order the main course when the water glasses finally arrived, the server just sort of walked away. The server got our order wrong - how hard is it to repeat back the order to insure you heard everyone correctly especially when there was a lot of discussion while ordering. We ordered an appetizer (delicious Tuna Sisig!!!) and asked the server about portion sizes and she recommended each person get an entree. Wrong! Portion sizes are large and 3 entrees for 4 people (w appetizer) would have been more than enough. The food is really good: high quality ingredients, unique, authentic dishes. The ambiance was nice for a fast casual spot, especially the upstairs deck. Unfortunately, the service experience overshadowed the rest of the experience. I'd give this place 4 stars for food; 2 stars for service.
