Bad Saint Restaurant in DC turned out to be good food after all minus the wait! My friend stood in line from 3:30 until the restaurant opened at 5:30 and this is on a Sunday. When they opened at 5:30 we were the first one that missed the first seating. So they took our number and told us we would have to wait for the next available seating which is 7:15-7:45. We got seated at 7:30ish. That's a 4 hour wait!
Is it worth the 4 hour wait? Probably not. If I knew we'd have to wait 4 hours all together I would not wait.
If we weren't waiting already for 2 hours we'd probably go home but decided to wait for another 2 hours just so we don't have to start over the next time. I feel bad for my friend because her and her hubby waited in line while Chris and I were watching the Redskins game in a bar nearby.
The Lambanog cocktail drink is tangy sweet. I just wish they do not add Calamansi juice because I like the sweetness of fresh Lambanog (raw coconut sweet wine). Hubby got the San Miguel Beer (2). He has no complaint except the salad that comes with Tocino plate has cilantro. He does not like cilantro.
Their dishes, at least the ones we ordered, are spicy and lots of herbs. (My kind of food). I had the Pinapatisang Manok on their menu and oh boy was it spicy and it simmered with coconut. It was really good just a bit salty. Bottom line; If you never had Pilipino food before, I suggest you snack something before standing in line for 4 hours!
