Everything tasted as they should, right from the Hot Stuff starters (cheese rakakat, lamb kibbeh) to the Turkey Carbs pasta (turkey bacon, chicken, soft poached egg) and the baked and puréed Mr Aubergine. The Cheesy Cake uses popcorn - definitely a version we'd never tried before!
It might have been a tad too dim (I could barely see the faces at tables across the room for the shadows), but the overall ambience is fairly chic. The mood is soft, according diners a certain level of privacy, and the sound of guests mingling by the pool just outside is oddly soothing.
Our server was professional and patient (the vastness of the menu meant we were poring over it a fair bit). We liked his proactive offer to help us decide on dishes, and ability to suggest suitable options despite our dietary preferences and restrictions.
As you can see above, plating at this restaurant subscribes to 'the fancier, the better' school of thought. Our Cheesy Cake dessert, for instance, came with a dangerous-looking, but perfectly edible, spike of (what we're guessing was) butterscotch. Creativity always wins applause!
Yes, prices are on the higher side here, but at a fine dining joint, you're obviously paying for more than just the food, right? Throw in the classy ambience, exquisite presentation, and satiating portions, and you know your dirham is travelling a fair distance here.
