My sister and I took our parents to Bacan to celebrate my Mom's 65th birthday. I did tell the staff discreetly when we arrived and everyone made the event wonderful for her. All the food was wonderful, the presentation of each dish was artful and everything tasted amazing. It was a perfect celebration meal and they made her feel like a queen. Highly recommend.
