Rhodes Twenty10 — Restaurant in Dubai

I come here by suggestion of a friend and I can say I was not desapointed for the expectations. The food is actually of good quality. They bring some chef complementary starter, in my case, a kind of mushroom soup, very good indeed. In the finishing they also bring small biscuits, always nice gesture. The starters were quite good and after, because the place is famous for the steak, I went for it. Not desaponting, to be honest. Of course, when your benchmark is global, from South African steaks, as an example, you are not amazed with it. But it is actually very good quality. The service is great, as expected at such level. The atmosphere is also nice, not too much fancy, quiet in case you like to talk at the table. Maybe a little too quiet. Not one of those fancy and trendy spots in Dubai. So if you look for that type of environment, you have better options. Cost... well, this is Dubai... you pay always above 500 AED per person for a proper meal, not going for crazy wines. Globally, it is ok and as expected....

I strongly do not recommend this restaurant. Overall, it’s a standard hotel restaurant, but the Royal Meridien offers dining options of significantly higher quality.

The risotto was terribly overcooked—more like mushy porridge than a proper risotto. The meat was extremely dry and simply unpleasant to eat, with the overall quality of the ingredients leaving much to be desired. The salads were disappointing as well, resembling something hastily thrown together at home rather than a thoughtfully prepared dish. The desserts were decent, but nothing particularly memorable—basic and tasty, but lacking anything distinctive. On the positive side, the cocktails were decent.

In the end, we didn’t finish all of the food—we left part of the dishes untouched and decided to leave the restaurant altogether.

Despite the slow service, the staff was polite and attentive.

In short, if you’re looking for a good dining experience, I would recommend choosing a different restaurant—this one simply isn’t...

We dined here as part of our half board plan whilst staying at the Grovesnor House Hotel and whilst we had around 15 restaurants to chose from, RhodesTwenty10 was definitely one of our favourites. It’s a stunning restaurant that creates a romantic and indulgent atmosphere which is perfect for a celebration evening. The food and service was exceptional. We were taken care of so wonderfully that we had to write a review to thank the staff, in particular Tharindu who exemplifies great customer service. The food was so good that we were very surprised it was included in the half board plan. Whatever you chose will be sure to wow you so please don’t hesitate in going and enjoying a fantastic evening of delicious food, drink and wonderful service here. We will definitely return on our next trip to Dubai and send our thanks to all of the team for making our night...
