harbor view

would not recommend this restaurant.

the food is overly priced, thier price can be comparable to a 5 star hotel. but food quality and food taste is just average.

for reference i order a blueberry cheese shake. not a watery blueberry cheese juice.

customerservicealso needs some improvement, the staff attentiveness also needs some work. the staff are huddled together by 3's and 4's in one area.

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 across manila bay and the manila skyline. theservicelets 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.

used to be my officemates hangout before. back then their pricing was quite reasonable. went there a few months back and was surprised that it was not the same anymore. i don't know if their was a change of management or not, but the place caters mostly to tourists right now.serviceis not that quick and prices are not for the budget friendly type. they also charged excessively for theservicecharge. it may be okay for others but definitely not for our group.

this place is a lousy value. it’s an open-air restaurant on and over the water. the decor and ambience is nothing special. theserviceis so-so. i ordered the wok-fried lapu-lapu with chili sauce. the flavor was okay but out of a 500 gram fish, i got about 100 grams of meat and i had to work hard to get that much off this poor little fish’s frame. i had a side of steamed broccoli with garlic. it was served swimming in a brown sauce and it was just too salty to eat. for all of this, i paid php 1,600. my curiosity has been satisfied and i won’t be returning to this place.

was our first time here last summer. you're not just going to enjoy their food, you're going to enjoy the view, too. it's relaxing. their food was awesome as hell... reasonable price for their food.... you'll get to enjoy each of their dishes without worrying too much for the price. also, theservicewas great, too. they gave us a warm welcome and they attended to us the whole time we were there. :) hope to eat there again.

once every two to three years my siblings from maryland, connecticut and new york come and visit manila. the first place we think off is harbor view. the food andserviceis great ...looking forward to visit and savor their authentic filipino dishes. highly recommend harbor view

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 of manila bay 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. theservicewas 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 :)
