"Ok so the only thing I don’t like is the atmosphere outside. I mean I don’t like how the door looks like and how is it not visible and why the door is close majority of the time. I feel like im not welcome but this is more personal opinion. The service was ok I think they can improve what I mean is be more approachable and fun welcoming. The guy in the front isn’t really smiling at all but its fair enough because he checked us out and asked how satisfied are we on our food so I think his service is not bad at all but there’s room for improvement (smile, be fun and approachable at first)Ok so the food, OMG! We waited I believe 20mins but hey listen!!!! The food is hella Great. You could tell it’s freshly cooked , it is not pre-cooked and just heat. Everything is start from step 1 to finish that’s how they cook your food. Amazing! We ordered dinuguan and bicol express. I don’t usually eat dinuguan just because every filipino restaurant in US already pre cooked it BUT THIS IS THE BEST DINUGUAN. I wish im from Oregon but atleast Oregon has the best filipino restaurant and that’s the MANILA FIESTA."

"My wife and daugher liked their food. Mine, not so good. Had humus with the app plate plus the complimentary chips and humus, it was horrible. They tried too hard to put flavors in it. Humus is good by itself, leave it be. When you expect one flavor and get another, and not a good one at that.... Not good, very disappointing. I had the chicken schnitzel the sauce was horrible i love schnitzel this was much tougher than it should be, bland other than rhe sauce and that sauce was NOT delicious.... And they put it on the mash too, I think they are trying too hard. These are simple foods, people like them because they are naturally good, advice keep it simple it will work much better... In all fairness, i am pretty picky when it comes to food, i presonally enjoy cooking and making things people enjoy. I have enjoyed great success with that. The atmosphere was good and the staff attentive, music at just the right level, enjoyable and still quiet enough to have a conversation alot of places over do the volume. I will try them again, this was my second time, hopefully my next experience will leave me smiling due to the food, not the conversation alone ..."

"We have eaten at Wild Pear and ordered takeout several times and always had a good experience and great food. We ordered takeout this afternoon and it was very disappointing. The chicken in the enchilada casserole was so tough we ended up picking it out. The sweet potato fries were so soft they were practically mashed potatoes and you sent home the wrong desert. (I ordered the Guinness cake and received Black Forest). This was after you forgot to include the deserts when I first picked up the order and I had to go back to get them. I realize everyone has bad days but we just spent $70 plus on a dinner and did not enjoy it or feel like we received value for our money. Very disappointing!"

"We used to love this place so much. I know they change owners and still liked the food. But yesterday, I had a bad experience with the guy working there. I am Mexican and I love spicy food. It used to be my numer 1 place for spicy chicken, but the last time I tried it it was kind of sweet only not spicy, so this time I asked my husband to tell the guys to make it a little more spicy and he did. He asked my husband if we wanted their special spicy chicken and I was ok with it because I thought since it was an ansian food restaurant I was specting asian red Chilli sauce, Sriracha etc. When I took the first bite all I could taste was the Carolina reaper sauce. I love spicy food but this chicken was not edible at all. I asked my husband to try it and he couldn't. I could only take one bite. So I went and told the guy what had happened. I told him I love spicy food but sorry that chicken was just not edible. He was upset right away and told me in a rude way that he could not exchange it or give me my money back, I told him I could pay for my order since thats what I told my husband initially, that if they didn't want to change it for another plate I was gonna order just a teriyaki plate. The guy got mad because I told him I was not expecting carolina reaper sauce in an Asian dish, common sence, and that he should have told my husband initially that the dish was made with that type of sauce. He just kept telling me that that's why he told my husband it was really spicy and that he could get rid of my food for me and if I was going to order something else. At this point I felt so uncomfortable to order more food since he was being rude. When I left he was being so sarcastic telling me bye, bye have a good night. Something like that. As I was leaving, he started talking about what had just happened to the guy that was behind me. And that was the worst part, that's not how you treat your costumers.

"How good is it? HOW GOOD IS IT? It’s not good, it’s outstanding. I have now tried almost everything on the menu and still plan to revisit. The Cozy Taberna is an incredible experience. The vibe is inviting, sophisticated, comfortable, inclusive and an escape to another world. The food is so exquisitely presented, hand crafted to perfection and the taste of Heaven in every bite. The price point fits the sophistication of this cuisine and is worth every penny. The service is quick, and so friendly you feel like you’re home. I hope all businesses take note of this amazing system they have of supportive, hard worker staff to model after because it keeps us wanting to return. 12/10. Must experience."
