this is a place that i've always wanted to visit and i finally got to try them one thursday evening (using a groupon voucher). the ambience is the first thing that will blow you away as you enter the lobby into one of the highest atriums in the world. the restaurant is located to the right of the lobby and is nestled between two of their more famous restaurants. surprisingly enough though the restaurant was quite empty, with only 4 to 5 tables being occupied at any given point in time.
the first thing you're going to enjoy here is the service. we were looked after by ibrahim, ada and so many others that we really didn't have to wait on or want anything for long. the chefs did an amazing job with the food, even though they were so busy prepping for the extraordinary brunch for friday, and were quick to assist us whenever we needed them. the quality of the food was excellent. i especially enjoyed the roast lamb, which was cooked to melt in the mouth perfection. if main courses are not your thing, then you have a huge dessert station to explore. the desserts were perfect, felt so fresh and natural, with nothing being overly sweet. the best part is the food is not being immediately replenished the whole time and only refilled on demand, thereby reducing food wastage.
overall, we had an absolutely amazing experience, and one that we can highly recommend. however, the one thing everyone recommended is the friday brunch, so i guess that's what everyone should be trying, especially given the half price promotion they've going on.
highly recommended!!
