Didn’t have food, just drinks after our prime 68 visit but was surprised with a cake and candle for my wife’s birthday which was nice. Noticed a couple request different seating due to people smoking which I know is allowed in Dubai but seats are quite close to other tables. Was a dj playing but I felt the music was too loud as having to speak very loud, close to shout having a conversation which isn’t ideal. Good selection of food and drink available and service was good as well as decoration of the venue
