Had brunch there today and I have to say I was totally impressed. Fresh food, plenty to drink, great service. AED395 including drinks/champagne. Drinks served were ****** Marys and Mohitos. Champagne flowed. Fish could not have been fresher!!! The food in the chaffing dishes are set in dishes so that the food is never laying there - constantly being replaced with fresh cooked food.

Also went to the Italian restaurant last night - Sicilia - and the food was excellent - great service as well. Because everything is cooked fresh (pasta is homemade and not precooked) there is a gap between courses - giving time to digest each course (very Italian). Limited menu with good choices. Open kitchen and the chef is very hands on.

Highly recommend both. And the property is lovely.

That's the one andy. There is also Indian and Chinese restaurants that I plan on trying. Further at the end of the lobby I also found a pastry shop. Cupcakes, cakes, and other yummy stuff.
