harbor view

dine here in the late afternoon or in the evening to experiencemanilabay's real beauty. this is one of those places that manilenos should be proud of.

the food has been consistent all throughout the years. and the scenic view ofmanilabay just hits your filipino heart in all the right places.

this place is awesome. totally underrated if you ask me. menu's pretty diverse, but mostly filipino dishes. if you're craving for seafood, then this is your go to place. the restaurant's ambience, specially at night is just astounding. you get to dine near themanilabay. highly recommended.

when my siblings have their vacation here in the philippines our driver suggested this place which is by the way walking distance from hotel h2o were we checked in.. walking towards the resturant the view is so nice wherein you can take some pictures for souvenirs, profile picture or myday ☺️ and we had our sumptuous dinner 😋 surely come back here to try their other menus
food: its a little bit pricey but worth every penny for me.
place: there is a smoking and non smoking area the view is our beautifulmanilabay
staff: very accommodating

fresh seafood out of the tank, sashimi, and everything in between. the food here is very good and a great place for dining in groups so you can share multiple dishes and try a bit of everything. it's great sitting on the jetty and eating with sensational views acrossmanilabay and themanilaskyline. the service lets the place down but having said that, they are always busy so i can understand the pressure the staff are under so i can live with that due to the great food.

this place is somehow memorable to me because this is where i introduced my ex-boyfriend to my brother. 

the ambience is really good. it's perfect for a romantic dinner if you don't mind being sticky afterwards. the super moon and the colorful fireworks at themanilaocean park made this night extra special. 

we had sinigang na salmon belly sa miso, steamed kingfish with spicy sauce, oysters rockefeller, and nilasing na hipon. 

- sinigang na salmon belly sa miso was good. the soup was rich in flavor and the serving was really huge. my ex-boyfriend didn't like this because it was too salty for a spanish palate. 
- steamed kingfish with spicy sauce tasted really good. actually, i only ate a little because my 2 companions enjoyed eating this. 
i personally liked oysters rockefeller and nilasing na hipon. oysters rockefeller was fresh, buttery and creamy. nilasing na hipon was crunchy. both were perfect for pulutan!
too bad, these dishes were not enough for the 3 of us. 

serving time was fast. 
the only disadvantage of sitting along the aisle was the difficulty in calling the attention of servers for assistance. 

parking space is available. 

overall, it was a good dining experience.

the place has been running for many years. it's being patronized by locals, foreigners and celebrities. what i really love about it is the view ofmanilabay. the food was average and we hope that they'll improve more on this. we ordered ensaladang mangga, steamed brocolli with garlic, steamed suahe and a chef's special sushi/sashimi platter.

found this place by chance when hubby and i were walking around manila. i felt like i was in a different location because the restau was overlookingmanilabay and the ambiance was cosy. we dined here at around 5:30pm and was able to see the sunset. food was good and the staff attended us well.

harbor view is the place to be inmanilato savor delicious sea food with a premium location on a deck over  the sea overlookingmanilabay.

while the restaurant offers expensive cuisine the restaurant is pretty casual. the tables and plates even the decoration are pretty simple . the view and the food are the best part.

do not miss the lobster is tender full of flavor and meaty.

this place has withstand the time and tides inmanilabay and this used to be a go to place of most people who wants to eat seafoods and enjoy the breeze from the bay and until now it's packed on a friday lunch mostly by tourist and mid aged businessman or worker.
been here couple of times though but this time got to take photo of the food and got to order just right for 3pax (usually we come here in big group thus equated to huge orders of almost everything).
starting off with the calamares what i like about it is the soft and chewy quality of the squid not too hard with regards to the flavor a simple batter not too
salty. we also had rockefeller oysters really good too with butter and cheese! for the main course we had garlic prawns with butter sauce was expecting more garlic though but over all it's good and cook just right. for the king fish in sweet and sour this is one of my favorite crispy fried fish top with the sweet and sour sauce. then for veggie we had mix veggies sautéed in oyster sauce the vegetables are not over cooked they maintain the crisp and freshness.
visit here to experience sea breeze and good food.

i picked this place for lunch after doing our pedicab tour of intramuros and was surprised that there is such a restaurant here inmanilawhich reminded me of a similar restaurant in palawan, but without the mangroves. harbor view's dining area extends to the sea which gives you a unique ambiance. thinking about it now, i'm not sure why i didn't take any pictures of the surroundings. it might best to come here during sunset for the best view.

we ordered sinigang na salmon belly sa miso and the oysters rockefeller which were both yummy. i just wish we could come here together in a group next time so that we could order more dishes. btw, i think we spent 800+ for two, contrary to zomato's 1,300. i think ordering just the sinigang was already enough for the two of us, so if you are in a budget, it's sulit.

i bet you would come here more for the place itself rather than the food, but it is nice to know that you won't have to choose between one or the other as the awesome view comes with the great food at a very comparable price. highly recommended if you are in the area. the restaurant is just a stone's throw away from the entrance ofmanilaocean park.

i just have one gripe which is, there is a separate payment for parking your car. i think the parking lot has a different owner than the restaurant. it would be better if the restaurant could already shoulder this expense. one tip though, do not park under any tree 'cause -- bird droppings :(

defenitely ain't the best floating restaurant but you can't claim you knowmanilaif you still haven't tried such dinning experience.

it's hard to explain how so many people patronize the place for so many years. since my first experience when i was still in preschool, little has changed from their menu. of course the structural improvement is noticeable but it still has the same old local feel.

their location is their biggest asset. the menu typically consist of the traditional long list of seafood, filipino, and some chinese dishes. good but ain't really great. in fact, i can't imagine them competing fairly with the other seafood restaurants in ermita and malate if they are relocated.

no matter what, they're already a part of a true manileño and filipino tradition.

the first time i ate here was back in 1995 when i was 5yrs old. ever since, it has become a family favorite. i guess i can say i’ve been eating here my entire life! with that being said, everything that i have tasted here was absolutely delicious!  seafood is fresh out of the water since they have an aquarium. we always order steamed shrimps, female crab, and crispy pata, liempo, gising-gising (a must try!) they also serve japanese food (tempura, sushi etc.) besides the food and the good service, harbor view offers a one of a kind ambiance and eating experience which no other restaurant can provide. it’s constructed on stilts overmanilabay which offers an awesome view of themanilaskyline, the bay (of course), and the sunset. perfect for a romantic date with your special someone!

we used to dine here specially for dinner. harbour view is a long stretch of bridge alongmanilabay that allows you to dine seemingly in the middle of the body of water. we just love the place! i love that they have a live band at night and if you just want to have a good meal with perfect ambiance and the perfect place to go on a date or with your family and friends. they offer both the best menu, a magnificent dining experience with a great view to go with. the view feels like you are in amanilabay cruise. it is a very romantic place ♥ 

my tito usually invited us to eat lunch here at harbor view. they also serve filipino food and you will love the view ofmanilabay with windy effect. servers are nice and attentive.

harbor view is one of those places you go on a special occasion. or sometimes if you're just feeling happy. it offers you some amazing seafood dishes that are both fresh and tasty. we visited harbor view on our last night in the philippines. we started off with some drinks - long islands and beers. the long islands were unusual - just as the name. they weren't long island iced teas, just long islands with coke. the view ofmanilabay from the restaurant, especially at night, is spectacular and can render you speechless. the decor in the restaurant isn't over the top, and justifies itself as a proper fine dining restaurant.

the first of our starters comprised of prawns stuffed with crabs and covered with cheese and baked. it was divine. the minimal use of cheese on this dish made the flavours of the crab and the prawns stand out. unfortunately, the second plate we ordered had an overdose of cheese. a tip here: while ordering this dish, tell the waiter you want it with less cheese, or no cheese at all. sprinkle some lime or lemon juice over it when it comes with a dash of pepper and you'll be good to go. the other dish we ordered was a squid fry that was spicy and just awesome - perhaps a perfect accompaniment for a san mig lite :) we also ordered some spicy tuna sushi, and these were really good too. the sushi rolls were prepared properly, and the spicy tune lived up to its name, and the taste great. the service was prompt and we didn't have anything to complain about.

for the mains, we stuck to seafood - well, at least we tried, but eventually there was one non-seafood dish that was ordered. we ordered a fish called the lupa lupa, and asked for it to be fried and served extra spicy. along with that, we also ordered a steamed crab in chili sauce, and a rabo de toro (oxtail). everything was top notch. the fish could've been spicier, since we asked them to make it extra spicy, but tasted good nonetheless. the crab, always messy to eat, was a delight all the same. the oxtail was quite ok, but didn't measure up to the seafood. we were too stuffed to order desserts, in spite of the fact that they seemed to have some divine looking cheesecakes. overall, an excellent experience, one that will take a while to forget :)
