From the moment I stepped into Finz, I was captivated by the restaurant's contemporary decor, with its sleek lines and maritime-inspired accents. The dim lighting created an intimate atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided unobstructed views of the Arabian Gulf, allowing diners to enjoy the beautiful sunset while savoring their culinary delights.

The staff at Finz were attentive and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our dining experience. They were well-versed in the menu and confidently recommended dishes based on our preferences, which added a personal touch to the service.

The menu at Finz focuses on fresh seafood, sourced locally and globally, ensuring an array of options for seafood aficionados. For starters, we indulged in the Seafood Platter, which featured an assortment of delicacies, including succulent lobster, prawns, oysters, and crab claws. Each piece was expertly prepared and showcased the restaurant's commitment to serving only the finest ingredients.

The highlight of the meal was the Grilled Catch of the Day, which allowed us to select our preferred fish from a range of options, such as hammour, salmon, or sea bass. The fish was grilled to perfection, resulting in a flavorful and moist fillet that showcased the natural taste of the seafood. Accompanied by a zesty lemon butter sauce and a medley of grilled vegetables, the dish was a symphony of flavors that left us craving for more.

For those looking for a unique twist on seafood, the Lobster Thermidor was a stand-out choice. The rich and creamy sauce complemented the tender lobster meat impeccably, creating a dish that was both indulgent and satisfying.

The dessert selection at Finz was equally impressive, offering a variety of sweet treats to end the meal on a high note. The Chocolate Fondant, with its molten center and velvety chocolate taste, was a decadent delight that left us swooning.

Beyond the culinary experience, the setting at Finz was truly magical. The outdoor terrace, overlooking the azure waters of the Gulf, created a serene and romantic atmosphere that made our dining experience truly unforgettable. The sound of gentle waves and the cool sea breeze added a sense of tranquility that enhanced our overall enjoyment.

Finz is probably the best seafood restaurant in town. It is located on the waterfront of the Beach Rotana hotel. You have to walk outdoors to access it. The new décor (all in white) exudes elegance and tranquillity. You can have a drink indoors, before going to your table - inside or on the terrace. For certain months of the year, outside can be very pleasant, with views of the sea or hotel beach.  It can sometimes get chilly at night ; there are garden type gas heaters, and the staff can even provide the ladies with shawls to keep them warm. The interior of the restaurant is also a great place to eat, with great views at lunch – not much to see at night. Lets get to the food. Everything we had was excellent. The seafood is fresh, well prepared, well presented, and well served. The staff is both friendly and knowledgeable. It’s not only the seafood that is great. One doesn’t come to a seafood restaurant to eat meat, but that is exactly what one of our guests did. He ordered the Angus steak, and declared it to be one of the finest cuts of meat he has had in quite some time. Prices are on the high side, so beware when ordering; if you have a pre-dinner drink, a starter, dessert, a coffee as well as a glass or two, your bill can easily reach AED 600 per person. Depending on your point of view, some may consider the whole experience of this sort of meal to be getting value for your money. Whatever the case may be, I now reserve my visits to special occasions; and quite frankly, I’m never disappointed. This is a special restaurant, and I wholeheartedly recommend it , be it to bring that special person, or for celebrating a special event, or just because  you fancy having some really great...

Had a wonderful dinner here and was greeted and treated to the most incredible of service by the team at the time.

Starting off, the location and atmosphere of the restaurant is great, especially during the winter period where I enjoyed the lovely view from the outdoor seating area of Mariyah Island with the winds providing a sweet breeze throughout the night, with heaters nearby. The indoor seating was also cozy and comfortable, but it’s the outdoor that matters more in my opinion.

The menu is well varied, even featuring non-seafood, land-based options which would delight diverse groups who have folks who dislike seafood. I went for Oysters and the Catch of the Day, and was pleasantly surprised to be also served with complimentary appetizers such as an assortment of breads and a delicious salmon snack, though the name escapes me.

It was my first time having Oysters, and the staff were incredibly caring and supportive in teaching the best way to eat them as well. Having such delightful staff is a tremendous boon especially for customers who might not be so experienced in eating from the diverse ocean! Finally, the main course was exceptionally delicious and fresh, and will definitely be returning when I can for another!

I do not drink and so cannot comment on the alcoholic beverages, but the options seemed varied, as did the non-alcoholic options.

Once again, a special thank you to Sandor, Komil, Babysoe and Omar for helping to create a pleasant evening dinner experience, and being approachable, kind and helpful throughout the night! Your establishment is lucky to have such a...
