The Rib Room

Having arrived at just after 11PM last night, I had the restaurant all to myself.

An amouse bouche of cauliflower soup was brought in as a complement from the chef. The squid ink bread was too hard and dry to qualify as a bread, you had to crack the bread by hand.

Ordered for scallops for starters and a 300gm black angus rib eye steak. The scallops were very nice but not cheap at Dhs.85 considering the amount. The steak was ordered medium rare and came with truffle mash. The truffle mash was very good and had a smooth texture with the truffle shavings doing a wonderful job of imparting it with it's flavour which was not the case with the truffle butter. The steak, although good as such, lacked the wow factor. Cabernet sauvignon is a winner in it's own right.

The place is well decked up with a special feel to it as befits it's location in the iconic Emirates Towers. The service was faultless.

The cost for 1 person for starter, steak, a glass of wine and a bottle of still water came to a shade under Dhs.400.
