We were able to get enough people together to reconvene our monthly meeting after skipping July. Getting the right restaurant was a bit of an adventure this time around. We were celebrating Jen's Birthday, so we were going for a Filipino restaurant. Unfortunately, our favorite, Perlas closed down. That would've been the easy choice. The plan was then to go for Renee's because we knew Ihawan closed too early on Fridays. Just to doublecheck, I called up Renee's and found that they had the same hours. So we ventured outside of the usual neighborhood to Tito Rad's, a place Ben & Clovy had been to before. For more details on the food and how it compared to the other, please visit the Picasa album and read the comments there.


The service here was one of the best I experienced. They seated us earlier than our reservation and didn't pressure us to order food before the rest of the group arrived (like Ihawan). The whole staff was friendly and treated us (and every other customer) like house guests.

The environment was average, but much better than most Filipino restaurants. This place will have to serve as our restaurant of choice whenever we go for Filipino since the Woodside ones near 69th/74th close way too early. The tuna jaw alone is worth the extra travel time!
