This restaurant serves the best kare kare in Manila ❤️❤️❤️The servers were attentive. The restaurant is quiet and peaceful and has a great view of Intramuros.

Great food and nice ambience. the servers were very attentive too. I loved the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. The bagnet was also superb but the veggies were quite under cooked for my liking. My husband who is an extremely picky eater liked everything.

If you’re in the heart of Manila, 9 Spoons at the Bayleaf is a great place for dining with friends and family. Food is very good and reasonably priced and portions are great for sharing. We always get the tartufo funghi pasta because we’re very partial to anything with truffle oil. Come in for lunch and you would almost have the whole place to yourself, but you might have to ask the staff to turn up the AC. The bar upstairs gets crowded at night but has a great view of Intramuros and the surrounding areas.

Place was average. Highlight of this place would be the amazing view of Manila. However, for the food and price, it’s not worth it. The food selection was very limited and the taste was so-so. I do hope that they improve on the quality of their taste and increase their selection or variety of dishes offered. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

We had a reservation which they acknowledged a day before. This was not our first time and I know reservations are necessary to be able to have seats in the small restaurant. We have guests who came from the US and an early dinner is suitable for catch-ups. When we got there with the fam, to our surprise there was a debutante party in 9spoons! We were asked to transfer in the skydeck! Clouds were looming and started to rain, we were asked again to transfer to a meeting room at the third floor complete with a projector screen and round tables for which we were the only ones in there!This is one of my worst experiences in a hotel restaurant, if not the worst.They should've told us upon our reservation the previous day, that they couldn't accommodate us, which is what good businesses would do. I don't know why they took our reservation only to be transferred to another place.We did bargain, because it is such a bother to look for another restaurant when all are hungry. But the hotel did not budge. They insisted on what they want.We left full of disappointment and went to The Manila Hotel instead.

The kinilaw na laman dagat was made with frozen fish. Instead of comping it, they used my promo for them to cut their cost. Very unprofessional

Been here two times with my girlfriend, for both our 1st and 2nd Anniversary. We just love the food and ambience here! Compared to other fine dining restaurants, their menu is much cheaper and more plenty. What we ordered are:Poutine - very tasty and plenty of gravy served with beef toppingsChimichangas - deep fried beef burritos that are big in size. Taste is just average and could and skin is a little tough when served to us. Teriyaki Chicken - spicy korean chicken that is plenty in servings as well. Beef Tapa Bowl 👍 - our personal favorite and recommendation, this is our favorite dish due to their unique vinegar sauce and the rich taste of the beef strips.Ambiance - you get a good view of Intramuros and the Manila City Hall due to the restaurant being located at the second most top floor, and a few people only dine here due to Skyroof Deck being more popular, this restaurant can be a good alternative for people who like to dine on quite places.Cost - since this is a fine dining restaurant, expect the price to be more expensive than your usual diners or fast food chain. But don't be disheartened by the prices, as their menu is cheaper as compared to other restaurants and they serve plenty of portions on their food.Service - staff are friendly on our first and second visits. They would always accompany us to the seats where the view is the most beautiful and romantic. Kudos to the staff!Overall - 4 / 5I cannot complain on their service and ambience of the place. Only part that I think of that needs improvement is their menu. Their menu lacks a little variety compared to other restaurants. Overall, a must try for folks that are new in the fine dining scene!

Food here was always decent. Visited like 3 times already and it never fails to hit the spot when craving for a quick fix of everything you want for breakfast (tip: eatigo has 50% off on their buffet bfast so check it out). Selection is not that many but hey for the price who would complain? 👌
