the “sorry, we ran out” brunch!

been to thisbrunch5 years ago andnow again 2 weeks back. 5 years ago i left super impressed... but not this time! for the price, name & location - you expect a wow experience yet it fell short...

+ ambiance & atmosphere (live band, seating by the pool)
+ amazing cheese station
+ beautifully presented stations and good variety
+ best bites abu d group members get 25% off champagne package
+ all the food i’ve tried actually tastes good and beef brisket on the bbq is delicious

- variety has reduced quite a lot compared to what it used to be
- they ran out of lobsters in less than 1h and did
not replenish and then ran out of crab legs and progressively the rest of the seafood which for me personally is highlight of any brunch
- sushi & sashimi station was very basic and boring
- oudoor bbq station did not have lobsters anymore


overall, i feel like this is one of the priciest brunches in the capital yet they don’t deliver the “wow” for the money.
because i’ve been here 5 years ago, i can see the “cost cutting” incentives they’ve undertaken since and it was a bit of a disappointment. #callmespoiled #expatproblems

man oh man thebrunchwas so good, the brisket tasted like something that fell from the heavens, i would love t-
*growls* .... oh god what’s happening? *stomach growling* ..... alright! this place has cursed my aśš with scary magical powers that will haunt my sleep .

we had fridaybrunchthere and it was beyond expectations! excellent service and food! also had some food shows happening like cutting the tuna and live risotto station. the seafood selection was amazing and bbq station with mexican, german, chinese stations too! highly recommended with a dj and outdoor seating. looking forward to going there again 👏

we went to the fridaybrunchwith friends. thebrunchwas very busy and fully booked, it is located next to the hotel pool.

the atmosphere was good, a live band was playing, sometimes it was however very loud and difficult to talk.
service was good, the beverages offered also a good selection with plenty options.

food was very good and had some amazing dishes like the yellow fin tuna with pieces cut off directly and a lot of other stations with freshly prepared items.

however, it seems that the management either miscalculated the amount of food needed or some of the really popular dishes were meant to be "teaser" dishes to upgrade thebrunchgiven the fact that all tables were booked in advance.

guests arriving later than 12.30 and those who did not load their plates immediately with the popular dishes like lobster, ribs etc were disappointed as at 1.30pm some dishes were finished and not refilled anymore!

this should not happen an hour after thebrunchjust started and is in full swing, especially not at such a place and being run by jumeirah!

we might be back and for sure be better prepared next time and take all premium dishes first to avoid disappointment!

absolutely love it there. beautiful food. great service and thebrunchif fantastic with every type of food you can think of. they have a band which is great plus free pool access all during friday brunch. my father has a gluten allergy and he wanted to make sure the desserts were ok for him and they prepared a whole platter for him. wonderful.
