“ We had a great dining experience at Garden by the Bay. The food was delicious and the staff were very accommodating. Even though it was full during dinner on a Sunday, the service was still smooth and we really enjoyed our time. It was a wonderful experience with my friends and we would be happy to come back again. ”
“ I gave 3 stars for the food because they always serve it cold. I requested that the pancakes be hot, and it took them 20 minutes to do it. On the other hand, the service of the crew is immaculate and very satisfying. Ambiance is also good when high tide, u can feel the breeze of the sea kissing your face ”
“ The Sinampalokang manok was comforting — the right balance of sour and savory. The seafood bilao was generous and fresh. We especially enjoyed the Bagaybay. My personal favorite was the pancit guisado. It was well-seasoned. ”

“ I had such a great time at Garden Bay Restaurant and Resort. The first thing that stood out was the beautiful view of the sea—absolutely peaceful and relaxing. There’s this calm breeze that makes the whole place feel soothing, and even some birds casually flying by that add to the laid-back vibe. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel like slowing down and just enjoying the moment. The dining experience was amazing, not just because of the view but also the atmosphere. It’s both a spot where you can relax as an adult and still bring kids along, since there’s a fun playground for them to enjoy while you unwind. The food is reasonably priced, which makes it even better, and the service really stood out—friendly, attentive, and they even surprised us with special birthday treats, which made the visit feel extra memorable. Overall, Garden Bay isn’t just a restaurant—it’s the kind of place you go for the full experience: great food, amazing service, and a peaceful seaside setting that makes you want to stay longer. Definitely worth recommending for both family outings and special occasions. ”
