One Star: High quality cooking
Drawing its name, fittingly, from the Tagalog word for “together,” Kasama unites the culinary talents (and fine dining pedigrees) of husband-and-wife team Tim Flores and Genie Kwon. Flores's background provides inspiration for this modern interpretation of Filipino cuisine, while Kwon’s pastry training elevates the sweet side of things. Homey traditional preparations are reimagined in elegant, inventive dishes, as in an “adobo” of mussels and wild mushrooms that strikes a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and savory. Desserts, like a “mais con yelo” that features sweet corn semifreddo and milk granita, are every bit as satisfying. During the day, the space offers a less lofty experience, operating as a bakery with a selection of simpler dishes and top-notch pastries.
