"Kasama is a fantastic Filipino spot that’s become one of our favorite places, for, well, a lot of things. They have pastries (like the ham and cheese danish or cardamom kouign amann), plates like chicken adobo, and snacks like lumpia—all absolutely delicious. Thursdays through Sunday the cafe lights a few candles and transforms into a special occasion-worthy restaurant. The 13-course Filipino menu is $285 per person, and it’s a rare fine dining menu that unequivocally feels worth the price. Oh, and they have a cute little side patio, too. Reservations become available every day at midnight, for 45 days out. If you can’t snag one, get on their Resy notify list. We’ve had success with reservations opening up even as far as a week in advance. Another option is to come here for breakfast or lunch, which is walk-in only. The daytime menu is more casual (but still incredible). Just come early (they open at 9am) because the line for their pastries gets very long within 30 minutes of opening." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
