Just Average

This place is kind of expensive for what you get. The dishes are good, not great. I liked the atmosphere, except the waiter was wearing a T-Shirt!

• Pros: Filipino
• Cons: Small Portions big prices

allez a cendrillon, en bon gout!

by agagustin

I am truly Filipino, by heart and by roots and Cendrillon is a Filipino restaurant, vraiment. I heard words like fusion, ecclectic, traditional, classic, and so on to describe restaurants but few go beyond these, so we say daring and a melange de gout, and that is what the menu is all about. My favorite is the perfectly done duck and oh my! bibingka is heavenly. I grew up in Manila and halo-halo is everywhere practically available all year round--I got to say it is my best treat. Si vous desirez un bon gout, ici, la, allez a Cendrillon. Bon appetit :)

• Pros: authentic Filipino decor and taste
• Cons: Tendency to lack in service quality and attentiveness

Horrible Service!!!!!

by the_reginalds

After knowing about this place for many years I decided to attended this so-called posh Filipino restaurant. Only to find that their prices surely don't match what they have to offer. The food was......ehhh. I've had better Filipino food for alot less and that tasted so much better. The food is not the issue here.Their service is just plain awful- awful - awful...I repeat- AWFUL!!!

Three waitress' attended to my needs but still lacked the attention you should receive when you're attending any restaurant. Regardless of area, cost or quality of food. What they failed to do was inform that they did not have the side dish of plantains that comes with my steak dinner. I was ONLY notified after the dish was sitting in front me AND after I had asked about if side order of plantains was on it's way. "We're out of plantains", the server/bartender barked at me and quickly walked off.

I tell you I was going bananas! I couldn't believe how I was being treated, how misinformed I was & how quickly the server/bartender was so eager to escape, so she wouldn't have to tend to my needs. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN or recommend this place to anyone I know. Go to "ELVIE'S". It may not be in SOHO but their service and cafeteria setting is sooooo much more friendlier than Cendrillion.
