Old review for suhour: Not an ideal setting for suhour..its a poolside bar. The ambience is also very casual...pool n skyscraper view is pretty though. Servers are wearing shorts! The indoor seating area is not upto par of a 5star hotel...looks worse than a street cafeteria. The servers didnt know what they were supposed to serve, lacked customer service, kept bothering us again and again. Didnt give us serving spoons, toppled over glasses, fumbled with the menu book. Suhour menu was very limited. Drink options were only jallab and tamarhind. Kunafa that we requested was over. They didnt even give us our 2nd salad order! Only the biryani tasted good but the rice was still dry n hard. Looked like iftar buffet leftover! The lamb chops were too chewy and hard. No taste in any of the meat platter items except the long seekh kebab. The baklava, umm ali...

Grills@Chill'O, up high on the podium level by the pool at Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche is a place unlike any other in town.

Poolside setting, breathtaking views, amazing food and great service make it a very special place indeed.

We were there for the opening a few years ago at the very first brunch which was a BBQ brunch set around the pool and we simply fell in love with the place

Fast forward to 2023 and they have a new brunch, the superb & sophisticated Brunch Ensoleille aka Brunch in the Sun.

So every Saturday from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm guests get to relax, unwind and enjoy a spectacular International brunch buffet brimming with the freshest seafood, superb drinks, carvery, bbq, sushi, salads, rare cheese and oh, that dessert table

There is no other place in Abu Dhabi that can put on a show stopping dessert selection let along a dessert room like this, hats off to the team.

To make it more memorable the team from the Michelin Star, Silk and Spice is there serving some of their top sellers, the Tom Yum soup is to die for.

You get pool access, some amazing live music, a kids room with their own buffet and you might even get to meet the lady who's the face of the brunch on the picture advertising it, yes look around she's there smiling at you.

All told its an amazing deal, great food with some interesting stuff ranging from Arabic to Indian, Thai Japanese, Spanish, western and more and all this at a super affordable price.

It was a great afternoon loved it and will surely...

We booked for Eid which was today, Wednesday, 10th of April. When we walked in we didn’t get the tables we requested and asked for the manager, Mr Ebrahim, he didn’t help much either and we had to settle for a table which was taken from another customer who hadn’t arrived yet. We decided to sit down anyways and try to enjoy the afternoon. We chose our different dishes and started our meal. My husband initially started off with dessert and then went onto the sides. I had the paella and some sushi. My son (who is visiting from South Africa) had some main dishes. We all didn’t really enjoy our dishes but thought that it was just the start of our meal so it should get better but it really didn’t, we felt the food to be not of the quality we have had previously when we had eaten at Chillo’s. It was so disappointing! We tried several different dishes but we were not impressed with much. The service was ok but the food was just not up to par. I doubt we will ever book again as the price we paid was too much for food that was just ok. The choices were also limited as compared to our previous experience. We had previously described this restaurant as being absolutely impressive with regards to the food and service but this time we were disappointed with the menu and the service. Unfortunately we will not be returning to...
