| - Went for dinner on a Sunday night for a girlfriend's birthday, with a party of 9. First impressions were great with a wonderful view and overall eye-pleasing decor. Unfortunately, that's how far the positive characteristics go. We will absolutely not be returning.
Food
Their entire menu was mediocre, not to mention quite expensive. My friend's tuna ceviche came almost an hour later than everyone else's orders. Instead of offering compensation for that by possibly making it on the house, all we got were displeasing jokes from our server, who basically teased her for having to share everyone else's food.
They do not have the traditional portions and selection sizes for main courses, but instead have a variety of skewers, which are ridiculously steep in price for what you actually get. We had all tried the chicken ($14 a skewer), short rib ($20), lobster ($30), and shrimp ($26). All had about 4-5 pieces per skewer, and did not come with any sides. Some may assume that the price reflect the flavour or quality, but I can assure you that those prices do not justify what is being put on your plate.
Service
The service was the worst part of the experience, and the main reason why we will not be coming back to this restaurant (and possibly the Bisha Hotel, altogether). I have mentioned our indecorous waiter with his failed jokes, but the rest of the staff also shared the unprofessional manners. A few of our guests were running a bit late, and a hostess deemed to ask if it was fine for her to take the table away when the restaurant was almost empty, and tons of other tables were available. She rushed the birthday girl into confirming if the other guests we had were still coming, which was extremely distasteful. Aside from that, numerous servers and hostesses kept reminding us that we only had the table until 9pm (we were there are 6pm). A reminder once or twice is acceptable, but to be in constant notification every few minutes was just horrific. How could we finish our food in a timely manner when everything comes more than 30 minutes late?
All in all, we will not be coming back. There are many other places with the great view, but have way better service, and a more palatable menu. Save your money and experience, especially if you are thinking of going for a special occasion, celebrating it at this restaurant would not be advisable as it might just ruin your day.
