25 to try: food with a view

To journey is often better than to arrive, so the saying goes. Located on the 27th floor of Burj Al Arab, the fine European cuisine is secondary to the impressive surroundings. The hotel welcome, glass-lift ascent to the restaurant and Star Trek-ish make promises that the food doesn’t live up to. If you visit for dinner, try to bag a table overlooking the glittering Palm and Marina, so the breathtaking views do not disappear with the daylight.
Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah, Dubai (04 301 7600).

Tried this outlet last weekend with visiting family. Felt it is a let down after all the hype created, especially mentioning it under 'food with a view'. We went for dinner and had to stand next to the window for any view, if you are sitting at your table (which was near the window as we requested) you had to actually crane your neck for any view mainly coz its a window set up rather than 1 uninterupted glass. I had clearly mentioned at the time of booking that we were celebrating a B'Day that evening, however let alone offering a piece of cake for the B'day boy, no one even enquired about it though we say that they did bring a small piece of cake and sang for another table. The menu was very restrictive - 2 to 3 appetisirs and 4-5 main courses to choose from, and absolutely no cocktail menu, though they did get Pina Colada and LIIT when requested. All in all I expected much more and had I know whould have planned somewhere else especially as we were celebrating a special day!
