Blackbird Makati

October 5, 2025

I’ve probably dined at this restaurant more than six times now, and each visit has left me hoping for better—but sadly, the food just isn’t improving. During my most recent visit, I ordered their bestselling and popular dishes: steak, salmon, and most of their appetizers. Unfortunately, none of them felt worth the price tag. The steak was chewy, the fries weren’t good, and the salmon had a noticeable fishy taste. Im also quite disappointed that they don’t even have a complimentary dessert for celebrations. I was hoping for a redemption at the end of my meal, but it was just loads of ice cream, caramel sauce, and popcorn. I really wanted to like their food because their ambiance is worth coming back to. It is absolutely beautiful, elegant, and sophisticated, and I wouldve loved to go here more often. But the food just doesn’t deliver, and I dont understand why. This is a popular place where notable people usually go. You’d expect that they’d have elevated their food by now.

We had a fantastic time at Blackbird in Makati! The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the service was excellent—attentive without being intrusive. The tuna and seabass were absolutely delicious—fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The burger was also outstanding, juicy and well-seasoned. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Overall, a great place for a nice meal in the heart of Manila. Highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates great food and top-notch service!

First time trying this fine dining restaurant and its class is worthwhile. Had the reservation done 2 weeks beforehand and went there on the date. The service was very good and the food was great! Adding their menu as of September 2025. Thank you for the great experience!

The I Love Aussie Lamb Caravan’s 3rd stop at Blackbird at the Nielson Tower was such a memorable dining experience. I loved how Australian lamb was elevated into dishes that beautifully balance classic and modern flavors every bite felt both comforting and exciting. 🐑✨ 🍽️ Highlight Menu: • Lamb Koftas with Roast Pepper, Walnut and Pomegranate Molasses • Mussaman Lamb Shank with Pineapple Cucumber Relish and Jasmine Rice Both dishes were packed with flavor, and you could really taste the premium quality of the lamb. Truly a feast worth remembering! 👌🏻

We went here for a special occasion and here’s our experience. The ambiance at this restaurant is one of its strongest points, dim lighting and cozy atmosphere, it sets the perfect mood for a romantic dinner date or a quiet evening out. Plus, the place is easy to reach, just in front of peninsula. The dining tables are placed quite close to one another, making the space feel a bit cramped, not ideal if you're looking for a more private or relaxed dining experience. As for the food, the experience was mixed. The appetizers - lamb kofta and mushroom with panini were divine. Unfortunately, the mains - SR wagyu steak and pork chop didn’t follow through. Both meat dishes we tried were tough, lacked the tenderness you’d expect as well as its seasoning given their price point. But, the sides: fries and mashed potatoes were well seasoned. We raised it to their staff and they shared with us that they will work it out with their supplier. Overall the quality of the 2 main dish didn’t compensate its price. The restaurant has its own parking, probably can fit around 6-8 cars. Paid parking is also available just beside the restaurant. The restroom is spacious, has high ceiling, mirrored walls which gave a clean and modern feel.
