I love the food we eat, every thing. The food, place, the staff. Masarap balik balikan. Thank you Cowrie Grill.
staff so professional..steak at its best..love the ceasar salad they make in front of you
Very good food in this restaurant. The steak is really worth the price. Aside from the great food available here, service plus ambience puts this restaurant as a really great date spot. Joseph, our server during that time, really made our night very memorable. Always attending to our needs and always giving a great vibe. Really happy with our experience. We will definitely come back here.

I grew up in the 80’s eating in fine dining restaurants like Cowrie Grill at Manila Hotel of which I’m thankful for. That was the time when waiters were trained well to prepare and toss your Caesar’s Salad and/or grill your half-cooked steak at your side.
Present time, November 04, 2019. And the Cowrie Grill in Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan still didn’t disappoint. The service was still top-notch and the food, excellent.
I ordered for the Seafood Set. The French Onion Soup was good but I’ve had better ones. The broth was a tad bland salt wise and flavor wise. The Caesar Salad was how a Caesar Salad should be. Light, paving the way for the main course. The Salmon Steak, with its grill marks, was a sight to behold with taste not to be easily forgotten. With Quinoa, it was a perfect match with Mango Salsa complimenting.
Lunch ended with the not-too-sweet Mango Cheesecake and confectioner’s sugar-covered Chocolate Crinkles.
Well, you can still experience that kind of old-school excellence in food and service. It’s possible in Cowrie Grill of Manila Hotel where old-fashioned fine dining is still in vogue.

Definitely the service was top notch. The hotel dining experience, that you'll get when you dine at Cowrie Grill. They are part of Manila Hotel group though located at Promenade Greenhills, they can be accessed easily.
The place has that classy and romantic vibe. They are perfect for intimate and casual dates and also family gatherings.
For the food, I ordered the WAGYU SET!
Starters include the FRESH MUSHROOM SOUP with Mushrooms, trufle foam, and crispy bread and MAITRE D' CAESAR'S SALAD that was prepared on the table side, they use Romaine lettuce, classic Caesar salad dressing. I enjoy seeing how they prepare the food at the side and they also did that for most of the dishes.
The MAIN COURSE includes PRIME JAPANESE WACYU, SAGA A4 STRIPLOIN
(P6,500 nett per person) - a Japanese Wagyu beef strip loin that comes with Truffled mushroom risotto, baked garlic, grilled asparagus. It was cooked medium well as per my liking. The meat portion is just right for what its worth and the quality is on point.
A nice ending would be the DESSERT, CHOCOLATE CHUAO GATEAU. A Four-layered rich chocolate cake
Crème anglaise.
I was also able to try the Chilean Sea Bass, Slipper Lobster Tail, Lobster Bisque, Angus Beef tenderloin from the ala carte and signature set ordered by my colleague. Notable dishes are the escargot and salmon steak that are cooked nicely plus my favorite Chocolate Crinkles. You can mix and match or ask the staff for recommendations if you like something else from the menu and it's good to try what they are known for which are the Steaks so you shouldn't miss them as well.
Overall, Kudos! It was a great lunch.

COWRIE GRILL in Greenhills Promenade brings the signature Manila Hotel sophistication and fine dining experience to this other side of the metro.
My favorites...
Seared Scallops with mushroom risotto - elegant plating makes this appetizer breathtaking. The scallops and risotto perfectly cooked!
Lobster Bisque - they flambé the lobster, pour the soup, and garnish with cream and chives all table side.
Caesar Salad - wonderful to watch the wait staff make the Caesar dressing from scratch and finally tossing the romaine lettuce before adding the parmesan, croutons abd bacon.
Wagyu Steak - one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life! Promise! Perfectly grilled then finished up table side then some flambé action in making the mushroom sauce.
Grilled Salmon with Quinoa - perfectly cooked salmon with such wonderful grill marks!
Other dishes I enjoyed...
Escargot - snails cooked with butter
New York cut Angus steak - less expensive than the Wagyu
For dessert...
Mango Jubilee - mangoes are flambeed with caramel and butter then served with vanilla ice cream.
Tiramisu
Mango Cheesecake
Then finish up with a cheese platter and Irish Coffee!
The service was excellent! They treat you with so much detail, friendly and efficient.
Worth the price!

I would recommend Cowrie Grill to my family and friends because of the amazing service that was given to me and my family. I would like to give special appreciation to our personal server, Joseph, who was very friendly, helpful and dedicated to his job to give us one of the best nights. The Caesar salad always never lets us down which was one among our other amazing meals during our dinner. Which we missed since we haven’t gone in awhile.
I hope that Cowrie Grill, continues their amazing service, ambience and environment because these are the reasons why it is one of my favorite restaurants.
Thank you Cowrie Grill! :)
Order the set meals to get the most bang for your buck, but either way a great place for any occasion.
Me and my girlfriend decided to have dinner here. We had a really nice time. The ambiance was great! The food was perfect! Especially, the mouthwatering steak! 🤤 Plus, the staff was so nice especially Server Joseph. He showed us how they make their salad and he really made sure we were having a great time and loving the food. We'd definitely go back here. The place is perfect for anniversaries since they have this secluded area for those who want some privacy. Thank you to the Chef for the delightful meal. Overall, we'd give this restaurant a 5-star. Kudos to Joseph! 🍾
Had dinner here last May for a birthday.
Upon entry, the ambiance was pleasant and intimate - perfect for dates, special occasions, and the sort. We availed of the BDO set menu at the time. Glad to say it did not disappoint. The service was good and the waiters accommodating, even if they mixed up our orders a bit (we were a group of 10). The quality and taste of the food was good. Appreciated that they had a little palate cleanser midway through the course. The steak was well-seasoned and tender. Wished they flambe-ed the Baked Alaska in front of us, but it's all good.
If you're looking for a fine dining restaurant around the greenhills area with good steak where you get what you pay for, check out Cowrie Grill. Reasonable prices for quality food.
You cannot go wrong with choosing Cowrie Grill for your catching up lunch with long-lost friends. Their set menu gives the best value for your money at PHP2,500 to PHP3,500, with a 50% discount for all BDO cards, including debit and ATM. I have tried their shrimp and scallop salad, afterwards cleansing the palate with strawberry sherbet, angus rib-eye steak cooked medium rare, and sampled all the desserts in the set menu collection with friends. The restaurant is clean and well-lit, and makes great space for good conversations.
