Mang Jess's Tasting Menu

Gables Queen Anne

Wed. Dec. 17th at 7:00PM

Parking

Free and easy parking at Safeway's underground parking lot. I recommend entering through Crockett St (see screenshot below).

There is a 90min limit, but I had friends park there for 3+ hours with no issue.

If you'd like, there's plenty of free parking in the surrounding area too.

Where to go after parking?

Wait by one of my Gables Queen Anne's entrance next to Apollo Nails & Spa. Let me know when you are waiting, and I will come down and get you.

Mang Jess's Tasting Menu

This will be my special Friendsgiving Dinner with the gays. You guys are my first gay friends ever!! And, I would love for you to meet my other gay friends who have helped me embrace my true and authentic self.

For this night, I have curated a Filipino Tasting Menu for you.

Why a Filipino Tasting Menu? Well, as you guys have met my authentic self, it's only fitting to share some of my favorite dishes that has helped me embrace my culture. Moreover, I will be cooking these dishes myself using my mom's recipe. Also, it's a tasting menu because some of yall are on ozempic lol.

I will serve you guys tasting menu portions, but I will have the stock of food on the side in case you'd like more. I won't starve you.
