Don’t let the beautiful marina setting fool you, this restaurant is a complete waste of money. We went because it was recommended, but what a mistake.
The service started off fine, but quickly turned dismissive. Simple requests like serving vegetables separately and lemon on the side were ignored. The fish was the only thing edible, fresh and nicely cooked. But everything else was an insult to the price they charge.
The vegetables? Inedible. Raw broccoli and courgette, hard, tasteless, and thrown on the plate. When we complained, the server brushed it off with, “it’s meant to be like that,” and walked away. The pasta was even worse l, a tiny portion of overcooked, mushy spaghetti swimming in buttery tomato sauce. It was gone in two bites.
We paid around $130 for a meal so bad we had to go to McDonald’s afterwards. To make matters worse, when we tipped 15% (more than they deserved), the server had the audacity to ask if that was all we wanted to give.
Save yourself the disappointment and money. The marina is gorgeous, buy a sandwich, sit on a bench, and enjoy the view. You’ll thank yourself for not stepping foot in Marina Dallal.
