Steak Double Date at Cowrie Grill by Manila Hotel, Greenhills, San Juan, Philippines

Our trips to Greenhills are mainly composed of eating Chinese cuisine or the eat-all-you-can Teppanyaki. Imagine our delight when we spotted this steak haven just at the other side of the building.

  


We've already eaten at Manila Hotel but this is my first time to try Cowrie Grill. Hubby's been raving about this place so for tonight, we were having a date night; a double date to be exact.





Was lucky enough to have the restaurant to ourselves while waiting so I was able to take a lot of pictures. Loved the opulence of the place; the interiors manages to transport you inside a luxurious hotel restaurant, making you forget that you're actually in Greenhills. 


This is my favorite spot. 
This lovely alcove with booth looked really romantic. The curtains are drawn so I can get a better picture but you can always have them closed for privacy. 


 


 They offer you a guide for your preferred degree of steak doneness. Nice to see that they take their meats seriously.



While waiting, they serve a basket of dinner rolls with dollops of swirly butter. The ones that arrived on our table were a bit cold but they'll gladly heat up the rolls for you.

Krystle & Mike's salad was done table side. Here are a few snapshots of it.



And here's the moment we've all been waiting for, STEAKS! Hubby & I went for the US Angus Beef Ribs New York Cut (Php 1800).

.
What came out was this 390g thing of beauty with grill marks that were TDF! With knife & fork at ready, we waited with baited breath...


The knife just slides right in *shivers*. Crusty brown on the outside while still pink on the inside; Cowrie Grill does medium rare perfectly. We were all smiles all evening. ;)

The server then places these 3 sauces that tickles your taste buds in just the right places. 

Au Jus-Beamise-Peppercorn
This trio medley of flavors does not overpower the steak but rather helps in elevating the meat. 

Mashed Potato
This creamy & light-as-air mashed potato was just the right side dish to complement the heaviness of the steak. 

And some complimentary chocolate crinkles to end the night on a sweet note.


Cowrie Grill by Manila Hotel delivered right what they promised; a wonderful evening of good food & service.
