We visited Yes Please after almost a year-long hiatus and relished its new appetising menu within their cosy neon-lit spot along 38th Street
38th street is alive once again as Yes Please reopens its doors every Wednesdays to Saturdays from 5pm to 12am. At long last, one of the metro's popular dining and night-life attractions has returned not only to serve cocktails but to also give you a refreshed dining experience with their new menu prepared by The Palace Manila's head chef Mikko Reyes.
After complying with all of their easy health and safety protocols, we ascended the famed graffitied stairs of Yes Please. The restaurant retained its vibrance even after a year-long hiatus with its neon lights, reverse graffiti, and infinity mirrors. This modern and edgy ambience extends to the restaurant's terrace, where you can dine al-fresco. Yes Please encourages diners to browse their offerings through their virtual menu by scanning a QR code provided at your table. Once you've logged on, you'll see a wide variety of choices from cocktails to savoury mains.
Yes Please, a pop-culture haven, has whimsical cocktails named after '90s movies—a brilliant way to describe cocktail flavours if you ask me. Clueless, a sweet fusion of Sauvignon Blanc, Aperol, lemongrass syrup and calamansi juice, has become a crowd favourite especially for those who don't particularly like the taste of alcohol. There's also an option for caffeine enthusiasts—Home Alone—which is a buzzing blend of Suntory whisky, espresso, coffee liqueur, salted caramel syrup and vanilla bitters. Stronger varieties are also available such as Pulp Fiction, Jurrasic Park, Men in Black, and Forrest Gump.
