"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."

"Our server was new but was super sweet and tried her best to give great service. We were there to relax and have a good time so we were not in a rush. Food was good as always though one of our desserts (chocolate brownie) was dry and hard suggesting it was rather dated. We sent it back and got tiramisu instead. Server was kind and traded it no questions asked Only thing to improve would be managing reservations a bit more... I know the night was busy but we did make a reservation and were seated minutes after our time which was frustrating since that is why we made the reservation; so we didn't have to wait. Besides that, the night was great 💖"

"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.

"I had a group of 8 people attend a car club dinner that I organized and attended at Cozy Taberna. Our first time, our server was not clear on how we should order. Being not clear, the couples decided to order per couple. The food came in small bursts, so not everyone was able to eat right away, though we did share. The food was very good (5 stars)Except for the $47 steak which 2 couples ordered came at the very end AND cold. Now, people...when you pay $47 for a small steak...it better be right...both steaks were cold. So... was it that the server that just forgot? Don't know, all I saw was 4 people leaving this steak and the server offered free dessert instead. Are you serious!!I will not recommend to all 500 members of our car club to try out this restaurant and anyone else that needs to bring more than 4 people."
