   Noisy. Very. Service unacceptable. Very hasty for us to order, to refill water asap so that bottle finish, always coming and asking if we finished the food (was food in plates), to take the plates. At some point, during 1.5 minutes, 3 different people came to ask us if we were finished, to take our plates. Then, we were asked to leave or move to the "bar" because the table was only for 2 hours. The "bar" was next to the kitchen counter.... Same time we were asked to leave, other tables with families that were there before us, continued uninterrupted, and after we left. I guess the rule applies only to non families... I was asked by my friend to go to this place , that i did not know about, because it was close to her residence. So now i am sure why i never knew about this place, because there is not much to know about. 9 years of (fine) restaurant dinning in Dubai, i do not ever remember a more stressfull experience versus my expectation. So if you are looking for experience, forget it. If you are around and looking for a quick bite, its ok, then try the seabass , was tasty.

   I have been referred to Duo Gastro bar 6 months ago and loved it. The food is amazing, and the staff was nice. I brought many friends in different occasions for them to try and they loved it too. i came also with my husband who love the food, and last Tuesday I brought my mother for the first time, to celebrate my birthday. To be honest, I was disappointed about the service. My mother and I shared one starter, had each one our main course, then the staff brought themselves their special dessert with a candle (as I mentioned the celebration in my reservation). Everything was served and eaten in… 30 minutes! we felt a bit urged to each quickly and leave. Even if I was checking the QR code to maybe chose another dessert, the link led me to the bill! And on top of this,,, the dessert (that was brought for the restaurant and which I initially did not order) was added to the bill!! I did not complaint as I wanted to have the dessert anyway, however I found it quiet inappropriate to offer a dessert as celebration gift, then charge it on the final bill..
