Spectrum On One is a good dining destination for large groups of people. It serves up a range of cuisines from around the world and everything’s consistently good. The Friday buffet is a Dubai institution.

We've been to the Spectrum Friday brunches 5 times over the past 2 years. The 4th time we commented that the overall quality had diminished somewhat. The last time we went in January 2010 and there was a noticeable reduction in selection and the quality standard had dropped. The Alaskan crab legs the last 2 times were watery and tasteless. Japanese selection was reduced as well. Champagne was good and plentiful buy the food was lackluster. Not worth the Dhs550.00.

Best brunch I have tasted so far. Service is excellence with the attentive and very friendly staffs. First time I find that brunch for three & half hours is not enough to taste all the very nice food served. It serve not only free flow of Moet & Chandan, but also wine, port (best port i had), mojitos etc..

The oyster shots in cocktail and ginseng are really wonderful and fresh. Even the simplest sushi with salmon roe is so crunchy.

The Best Brunch Winner this year does not deserve the title. Staffs are not friendly and food nothing compared to Spectrum. Only thing that stand out is the live band and the more party-going crowd that sway with the live music there and lots of garden to move around.

My choice is Spectrum on One! They should be the winner of this award.

Keep it up! Toss to all the happy and friendly staffs! You made Spectrum stands out!

I really enjoyed having dinner in Spectrum on one. I came 2 times and the food always exceed my expectation... I believe this restaurant is the best international restaurant in the town so far....

Should attempt japanese food-dynamite cone and Sezhuan-chinese style..

the staffs are very charming at glance and giving us the greatest moment when we come there...

Bravo Spectrum on One

Cheers

A definite must do. Great choice of international foods. Decor is classy but a bit sombre. One of my favorites with the Ritz Carlton brunch ( fabulous garden setting, a large choice of really "high-quality" dishes and products, and the most amazing dessert selection in Dubai-why is it not listed here?)
