Reviews
We went on Friday 4ish happy hour, not noisy at all! (I went to another tap house b4 it was too noisy and we left). The food was great and I enjoyed my favorite Aperol Spritz a lot! The staffs were so nice and helpful, especially Donale 👏🏻.
Brilliant service, our server Bella was helpful and extremely efficient above and beyond her job! The cocktails were stunning, visually and taste! We had the fish which was cooked perfectly and delicious, we also had the Thai green curry rice which was packed with flavour. A definite must visit if you around the area.
Extraordinary food with storytelling... it is something unusual restaurant. Nice staff and inertia were also perfect. However, we felt like we only had appetizer and dessert after all. It would be better if they serve something special main dish.
Wonderful place. Nice experience. But all this experience around the food is too much. I would rather prefer better dishes. Everything was good and you have some very nice dishes. But overall the tasting menu is not at a level for a 1 star restaurant and the deserts were not that good, doesn’t feel they were made by a French pastry chef. And price is too expensive for what you eat. I believe they got the star mostly because of the place, and the experience. So little bit disappointed. Loved to see the chef many times. Very friendly. Very good service. But who is managing the kitchen if the chef is everywhere but in the kitchen ?
Immersive experience and amazing flavors. My dinner date was of the romantic type, and we enjoyed the experience a lot. The dishes came in waves and were served in different settings. Each wave was explained, and even a small book was given. Each of the waves was accompanied by a special wine, served and explained by sommelier G, who did this with the utmost enthusiasm!
This place was superb. We were served by Miss CC and she was excellent in her service. Super welcoming place, accomodated our customization requests and the food was great too. A must visit place near the Burj Khalifa for drinks and dinner.
This beautiful restaurant serves a very delicious food, we always order lentil salad, pasta , pizza and last time we tried the cheesecake which was ok. Food menu is always fresh and good. Prices are good with no offered corporate discounts. Service is very welcoming and helpful. In crowd seasons you may need to stand in queue to get table.
Lobster pasta (255) was a little sweet for my taste but it’s okay overall. The clams pasta (145) was really delicious and light. We also ordered the pizza divola (95) the toppings kept falling of the pizza which made it very hard to eat, taste was meh. Dessert was yummy and so big (great options for groups!). However the service was so SLOW, they even forgot to bring the cappuccinos we ordered till we told them. Probably wouldn’t go again due to this.
This place is seriously one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been to! The vibes are incredible, the staff is super friendly, and don't even get me started on the view. You can catch an epic water show right from their balcony! It's a total must-visit spot!
