Review of Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manil...

I had the buffet dinner here a couple of years ago and it was fantastic...so when my wife and I happened to be in Manila for the weekend of Jan 11, 2014 we decided to come again. To make a long story short... quality is not what it used to be...particularly the sashimi tuna was not fresh...clearly previously frozen and soft, not firm as it should be ... the salmon was a bit better but not perfect ... the tenderloin was not tender ... the baked potatoes greasy ... and the baked deserts, especially flat and low on flavor... so in conclusion, I doubt we will be back. At the price they charge... 6,500P for two ...it is unforgivable to not have top notch quality everything ... and it is not, as simple as that. Jump in taxi and go to Mall of Asia 5 min away ... equal or better food in many restaurants at 10 -15% of the cost.
