We LOVE this restaurant. Recommend catching the happy hour that’s until 7 on weekdays Every dish and drink is so yummy. Waiters are friendly and offer great service. Atmosphere is nice but relaxed. You don’t need reservations and very affordable with big portions. My Filipino friend said it was some of the best spicy fried chicken he’s had Celebrated my birthday here and they gave us a delicious serving of ube bread pudding, best bread pudding I’ve had!
Purple Patch DC was a delightful dining establishment that definitely lives up to its name: most of the menu items are adorned with a garnish of purple Ube ice cream, orchid, etc., and the restaurant is tucked into a "patch" down a small set of stairs. The menu consisted of hearty, American food with a fancy Filipino twist, and my party tried a variety of food options that we all found delicious as presented in the photos of this review. Some of our favorite beverages were the Spicy Calamansi Margarita, made with their house-infused roasted jalapeno tequila, and the Purple Patch Hot Cider, which paired well with our meals on this cold, snowy winter afternoon. Some of our favorite food items were the Fried Calamansi Wings, Crispy Eggplant, Crab Fritters, Fried Red Snapper, and their signature Ube Waffle & Filipino Fried Chicken, in which the chicken was braised with soy and vinegar and the Ube Waffle was served with a scoop of Ube ice cream and a side of macapuno coconut syrup. Also, because it was my birthday, I was gifted with the most delicious thing to ever grace the surface of my taste buds - the Ube Bread Pudding was by far, one of the most heavenly things I've tasted, and was the absolute perfect way to top off this amazing brunch experience. The bread itself was warm and lightly sweetened with condensed milk, while served with a caramel drizzle, granola and a scoop of Ube ice cream. Overall, between the superior customer service, low-key, homey ambiance, delicious entrees and divine cocktails, the entire brunch experience was absolutely splendid! While they don't take reservations, I highly recommend Purple Patch and encourage you to call in advance the day of your planned visit. No matter what you order, be sure to try the Ube Bread Pudding and you won't be disappointed!
Our server, Erin was really wonderful and the environment was lovely. I especially loved the ube bread pudding and my gin drink - unique and delicious. Give it a try if you like martinis! Our other dishes had very mild flavor but overall was good!
I came specifically for their ube waffles with fried chicken and ube ice cream and it didn’t disappoint! The chicken could be a bit less dry but the whole dish came together very well! The spicy mango margarita was amazing. I definitely recommend that. I’d get it again if I come back. The service was also amazing. The waiters took care of us very well and was very polite, friendly and attentive.
Incredible food!!!! Can't give it enough stars. Sizzling sisig is very meat heavy and very well done. Bread pudding was excellent and the other few things we tried were great. Service was excellent, good vegetarian options, and I like that they automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill. Will definitely come back! Vegetarian options: There's a whole page of vegetarian options Wheelchair accessibility: Indoor seating is not accessible. Outdoor seating has a curb, so it's still not an easy option.
PHENOMENAL! One of the best meals I’ve had in DC. All three courses were incredibly tasty. The food is fresh and delicious; also loved the decor of the restaurant. Expect to be taken care of well with fantastic, friendly and prompt service too! I cannot recommend this place enough. Get the spicy adobo chicken entree!
I had a great time out with friends for brunch this Saturday! We each got a different drink and taste tested with the provided straws - each was delicious. My cantaloupe frose was a little less sweet and very cold, so nicely refreshing on a hot day. I had the chicken adobe hash and wish I lived closer so I could come back more often to get it again. Super moist and flavorful chicken. My friends got the Frozen Rainbow Kisses and Frozen Spicy Mango Margarita to drink, and then had the pork skewers and Ube cinnamon toast, and breakfast pork belly sandwich to eat. We recommend them all! The patio is really cute, although beware the bees, and the meal price was very reasonable.
I was visiting DC and a friend suggested we try this Phillipino restaurant near Adams Morgan. I've never had this style food, so why not? We were seated quickly they don't take reservations and the menu is on a QR code. The first thing listed are the restaurant's set of "rules," the first being that you will be charged a 20% service fee. I've seen this at some resort locations but I looked around and didn't see a beach anywhere. Upon being seated they also ask for a phone number, which I found curious. Why? We started with the fried egg roll appetizer and they were just alright. For dinner we ordered a chicken skewer dish and pork with garlic fried rice. It was very good and the portions were generous. The server was very friendly and attentive. For dessert my friend ordered the ube bread pudding which was just OK. Overall a decent experience but they would have had a better tip if they ditched their rules.
First off the staff here is AMAZING...when dining in ask for: Jose, he will definitely take good care of you. Alex, their General Manager, is super knowledgeable especially with the history of the restaurant. I ordered the Pancit Mahal to go and me and my husband enjoyed it so much that for my birthday Dec 16 my husband surprised me with a delivery from Purple Patch. Plus, Jose made sure I enjoyed my birthday with a dessert and a personalized note to me with best wishes. I highly recommend Purple Patch if you want to try authentic traditional Filipino food.
5/5! This place is absolutely delicious! I've yet to have Filipino food in DC, so when I had a chance to do so with some friends, why not! Upon walking into the restaurant, you can instantly smell the delicious flavors from the food. The Food: For dinner, I went with the Sizzling Pork Sisig. I was not disappointed at all with this dish. The flavors and texture of the meat were tender and full of flavor! The dish comes out sizzling on a hot plate and that instant aroma you get is to die for. Paired with some rice t o soak up all the sauce, its a killer dish. The Service: The staff were very friendly! They answered all out questions we had about the menu and orders were brought out in a timely manner. We had a large table during a dinner rush and we didn't see a drop in service at all. They do include a 20% service charge automatically, but service was great anyway. There was plenty of eating as well and the restaurant as a whole was nicely decorated and clean. Overall, a 5/5! Food was delicious, service was great. Can't ask more than that. I'll be back for sure!
