It is like having dinner in the veranda over the sea. You can feel the sea breeze as soon as you walk in, sit and relax. The sound of a soul siren reverberates as there is a band singing to smooth, jazzy music. We ordered seafood.It was delicious. The service was fast. We loved eating while viewing the glitter and...

The restaurant was a breath of fresh air. Great Service from the moment we walked in until we left. Food and choice of food is excellent. Prices I would say are around what I'd call average, but the service and ambience I would call well above average. Seafood was fresh and was presented in an almost inspiring way! (Sorry if... More

Apart from the obviously good ambiance of this restaurant, their seafood is fresh particularly their salmon sashimi, prawns, oysters, and sushi. Difficult to find fresh sashimi like theirs around Manila even in some of the well-established Japanese restaurants in the Ermita area. If you avail of their discount card you get 10% off even for take-out. Good service, courteous and... More

Head there at night and Manila Bay will glitter with all the lights from the High rises along Roxas Boulevard. The platform over the bay brings a natural ventilation that surprisingly is not smelly. Food is simple and mainly local, but with a large variety of fish and sea food. Service ok and simple a familiar ambiance

We usually have our dinner here whenever we go to Manila Ocean Park.The ambiance and concept of dining by the sea is nice although the smell of Manila Bay is not that pleasant. We recommend their adobong baby squid and the crispy shrimp. We wouldn't recommend their desserts though (especially the leche flan) because it is not good and enticing... More

The restaurant is located on a platform built over the water of Manila bay. The view on sunset, ships and the harbor life is excellent. The seafood we had was average and served lukewarm. Service was attentive even when the restaurant was full. I would recommend the restaurant to everybody, who attaches importance more to the location than to the... More

excellent view to the bay and the Manila skyline, excellent food at reasonable prices (15-25 euro). When there's live music becomes a really great experience. not to be missed. Arrive before sunset, after becomes crowded. Packed with locals, tourists.

My family had dinner recently at Harbor View Restaurant to celebrate the birthday of my son. We made no reservations and the restaurant was full. We were lucky to be given a round table near their aquarium. Our table was good enough, since we still had a good view of the sea (it was dark anyway), a view of a... More

We had: Sinigang with salmon belly (a really sour tamarind soup with assorted vegetables and salmon belly); Prawns in chilly sauce; Pinakbet with coconut cream. Everything was outstanding. I'm on a short visit to Manila, but if I have one more eating-out slot before I leave, I'm coming back. Great food, great view (reserve a table and sit outside), great... More

The most important - located at the shore, just close to the ocean park. You can see the jumps of the local fish in the harbour - only if you are lucky to catch the moment. Nice cooling wind. The vine list is limited, and it seems the stock also. It took a bit of time and effort to get... More
