    We opted for the summer tasting menu, whilst the food looked great to photograph the flavour was disappointing The short ribs were the star of the show, however the cod was mediocre at best. The balance of coconut mash to zuccini was disproportionate, and the herb crust lacked a punch of flavour. The Avocado starter was disappointing as the chips served lacked the crunch that you expect. Deserts were well presented and interesting flavours. It is a shame that we left feeling underwhelmed, by our menu choices.

    We had the Dubai food festival menu planned by the restaurant. The dishes were interesting and tastes great ! My husband and I enjoyed the view from the restaurant and with the live music playing, it was a relaxing evening for us.
