Delicious food to and great ambience enjoy with friends and Family. <br/><br/>My friends and I really enjoyed the sumptuous option of food and drinks on their 18 East Brunch menu. It was a perfect afternoon and we really recommend for everyone who like to enjoy good food and spend time with your friends or love ones.

Went to this dreamy place where the food is interestingly very different than what we had been tasting all around and the location is much like a reverie. I’d like to call it more like a floating restaurant over sea. The place is so serene that I didn’t want to come back home and wanted to stay there for long. Talking about their food, they’re offering a eastern fused buffet on Fridays and on regular days are their special food menus. We opted for Friday brunch buffet. There’s a live grill station where the chefs were busy in making the yummy and fresh food for the guests. There were grilled and roasted prawns, roasted potatoes, sautéed vegetables, grilled lamb pieces, and grilled chicken. They called this Paella Live station and grilled chicken was our favorite most as it was spicy and naughty like salsa. They were making their special dish called payaya which is a Spanish dish. It had fresh mussels, prawns and quinoa rice and their specific seasoning on it. It was a very different but good one. Moving towards their cold starters, they had burrata, kale and burnt corn, artisan olives and smoked beef carpaccio. Well this was a very delish section too. In their hit starters they had charcoal pedron peppers, crispy white bait and lamb keftedes. Their dessert buffet was my favorite the most. Like I have been to countless restaurants and cafes but I haven’t treated my sweet tooth like this before. They had a great variety of desserts ranging from fresh fruits to confectionary to chocolate munchies. The best thing was they had a kids corner too in which they were serving cotton candy and pop corns and chocolates fondues. Their dessert section is definitely a winner for me. They had a live Dj station where dj was playing some good music too. There was a big bar for drinks of all kinds from which we ordered virgin classic and strawberry mojitos and found them good enough. Their chefs Don and Nelson are doing great job in serving the best food to the guests. Specially the head chef and Mr. Don who was a gem of a person too. He kept in engaging my kids too and won my heart there. There server Ms Nafeesa was a girl with a golden heart and served us with the grill every time we asked for table service with a bright smile. Rest the staff was really weird and dull all the time. I don’t know why they’re so dead that they’re not even welcoming us. I found their behavior a little rude. But when the place is great with awesome food then such little things are ignorable.

I loved the ambiance and the variety of seating areas. However, I was disappointed when I tried the linguine and clams. The sauce was runny and not incorporated with the rest of the dish, felt like I was eating linguine with seasoned water. The staff members that served us were very polite and friendly, except for one server that just kept staring at us in an odd way (without saying anything), which made us feel uncomfortable.

Tried the Friday Brunch, excellent food quality and taste, good cocktails, friendly staff, and lovely seating with amazing creek view. <br/>The weather is still a bit warm so it was challenging to accommodate families to move indoor but they manage to do it and everyone was so happy. <br/>Would be definitely visiting soon,

Skafos restaurant was one of the first places we tried after arriving in Dubai. We had an Iftar meal and everything was great! Our server, Jeffrey, was awesome and accommodating. He was able to provide exceptional service above and beyond expectations.<br/><br/>The ambiance of this place is truly hard to capture on camera. Have to see it to believe it. <br/><br/>The food, also exceptional. We had the 6 course Iftar meal. We all struggled to keep from overeating. Our entire group agrees, we would return in an instant!<br/><br/>Great Job!

After a movie night, me and my friend Grace walked along Al Seef. <br/><br/>Then we randomly headed to this place. <br/><br/>Though we’re full, we still indulge ourselves with spicy chicken and had each other a glass of wine. Red for me and white for her. <br/><br/>The restaurant has so much to offer. The ambience is amazing, staff are approachable and accomodating, foods are amazing. Though honestly we only tried the chicken but never the less from the menu, the array of foods are interesting. Money-wise, of course it’s quite costly but i think its all worth it for they offer a great service.<br/><br/>I will surely come back soon.<br/><br/>Thanks Mr. Rawad for the warm accomodation.

Walked by Al Seef and fell in love with the place. Dragged my friend one evening to try this place out . <br/>You have to order a Shisha which cost 100 Aed if you want to sit on the deck . <br/>The staff was a bit cold. <br/>The food was highly disappointing. Apart from the quantity which was hardly fit for a person, the food dint even taste that great . We ordered a shawarma plate and spiced lamb kofta . <br/>Overly priced for the quality and service . <br/>But a lovely location.

Walked into this place as it was one of the first restaurants when you walk towards the promenade from the hotel, so didn’t know what really to expect. The place was pretty huge with different seating arrangements depending on the area you sit on. And what a view! <br/>Now to the food, the menu is pretty small making it easy to order and almost every dish sounds tempting. The service was excellent two with the waiter coming up with some good recommendations. The food was excellent, so were the portions. I would rate 5 stars for both . The only<br/>Reason I don’t give this place a 5 star rating is the seating could have been a bit better. But with definitely go back for more anyway. Star dish would be the seafood platter( it was not on the menu, just mentioned as catch of the day)

A newly opened place, we wanted to explore it for the ambience. As we had a kid with us we weren’t allowed to sit in the deck which serves only shisha and does not allow kids. The deck is on the water and has a great view of the creek. <br/>We were seated i side and ordered some drinks and snacks. The shawarma plate was small and ok in taste. The calamari pakoras were tasty. The pockets we ordered were way too small and overall I felt the food dint do justice to the money we spent in terms of taste, quantity or value. <br/>Its a good place to only come fr a drink and maybe a snack or two.<br/>The staff we felt were not too welcoming and sort of arrogant. Would have liked to interact with more courteous and friendly staff. Might o ly rrturn fr the shisha and the ambience of the deck. Nothing else will make us come back.

What an amazing place and view at the corner of Al Seef, in front of Zabeel House Hotel. The sitting area arrange in such a way that from everywhere you got the best view. <br/><br/>Ambience: 5/5<br/>Service: 1/5 (the Arab server was very rude and very lazy as he was making face on anything asked for. <br/>Interior: 4/5<br/>Seating arrangement: 2.5/5 (not very comfortable)<br/><br/>We ordered: <br/><br/>Mini Pita Pocket: 5/5<br/>Tea Martinez Juice: 2/5<br/>Frozen Punch: 3/5<br/><br/>Will definitely visit again for best view. <br/><br/>

We went there a week ago to see the place and we saw people drinking and others were not even having sisha in the certain area of the restaurant which they said only for sisha.. When we came back one of the staff had inform us that place was only for sisha and there is another particular place for drinking only if not having sisha. We decided to have sisha since we want to stay on that area. One staff came to us and said alcohol drinking is not allowed on that area and even called us a liar! Very rude for the customer. We left right away. Worst customer service!!

Actual rating is 3.5<br/><br/>Food - We mainly went for Shisha but had couple of starters as well. Chicken wungs is ver average and full of bbq sauce. Triple fried fries is ok. 3/5<br/><br/>Ambience - Now this is the main attraction here. Great job done by the design team and they have a huge space suitable for both family and friends hangout. The view from the Sisha area is breathtaking -5*/5<br/><br/>Service - Extremely friendly staffs and the service was good 4/5<br/><br/>Price - somewhat reasonable - 3.5/5
