"Filipino spot Kaya is fine dining that’s not stuffy. No one will give you the side eye here for wearing a T-shirt, but it is the type of place where you need a reservation. Come here for a nicer date night and focus on the chef’s nightly menu: five courses that might include adobo with local mushrooms or fried fish sinigang in a clay pot whose lid, coated with tamarind miso paste, becomes the bowl. If you can’t get in, they do reserve a couple of tables for walk-ins where you can order a la carte and have Happy Hour specials Tuesday through Thursday from 6-7pm.
