Seagrill Bistro — Restaurant in Dubai

Wow, what can i say, and focus on food and service - well we (non-residents) booked super early evening dinner and it had been around 40c that day, so by 6pm-ish it wasnt busy outside, but that didnt detract. The food: we had the grilled seafood platter for 2, sharing, wow, fresh, lovely fish, cooked to perfection, but the portion size for a 2 sharing was HUGE WOW and would have easily catered for 4! it comes with french fries and a nicely dressed green salad, and the seafood came with an assortment of accompaniments (ie spiced mayos, sauce tartar etc)- didn't have to ask for anything further! we had one extra side of steamed green vegs, all fresh (not frozen), and had their customary home made foccaccia (depsite us being on a bread free diet, we couldnt resist it, warm bread drizzled olive oil over it, balsamic, salt...OMG drooling even thinking back to it! I had a brulee after and just stuffed to the brim!: 10/10 well done to the kitchen. Service: 10/10 could not fault in the slightest (& i would say, this is very typical of hospitality service in Dubai - the exact opposite of UK!).

*Levis looked after our service, lovely guy, warm, hospitable, friendly. What a great asset he is to the FOH team. Well done all round.

Nearly forgot! - we had so much left over and didnt want to waste and send back to the kitchen, so we asked for it to be packed for a take-home and they could not have been more obliging, we had to agree to a disclaimer and not take back the (oh-so umami) Bouillabaisse, butn we took home everything else, except the fries, and reheated it back at out aparthotel (Adagio) the following lunchtime! Its not cheap, obviously, but, you get what you pay for!

We shall return on our next visit to...

I went here for the Friday Brunch, we chose the version with alcohol. The bubbles were prosecco, it was quite nice. Some of the cocktails were awful, tasted like they were made with artificial flavours but others were absolutely delicious. You can also have spirits and mixers. The drinks and food are unlimited but you can only order from the brunch menu which changes regularly. The brunch is a five (I think 😏) course menu with cold seafood and salads to start, followed by several hot dishes and finally desserts. You can order more of any the dishes but in the first instance they serve the table one of each dish, in order and you share. The food is bountiful, very high quality, tasty, fresh and flavorful. Everything is presented beautifully including 24k gold on the dessert and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. Service is top notch and the toilets are impeccably clean. My only gripe is that, as we were seated outside plenty of cigarette smoke from other tables wafted over to us and I find it disgusting while I'm eating. However, I appreciate that while travelling, local customs and laws will be different than what I'm used to at home and we could have eaten inside smoke-free. Outside was so stunning and warm it was worth it. We were there for 5.5 hours it was an amazing decadent brunch, we weren't rushed and it was truly a delightful experience. I highly recommend the Friday brunch if you're...
