Food was outstanding however we waited nearly two hours for our pre booked table. We got a glass of prosecco as a sorry which I don't even drink! If I hadn't pre paid I would have left. I have emailed them and no response so clearly they don't care about their customers. I would have eaten there again but now I'm not so sure and I will be telling people to not make after dinner plans as ours were ruined.

Service was excellent but the BBQ veal ribs wasnt great, it was incredibly fatty and inedible. Starters and desserts were great though. The music in the restaurant is inappropriate, too hard core for a fine dining restaurant.

The service was very slow and poor. Had to call the waiter to take our drinks order, then food order and to even to refill our wine glasses. Nothing was done without explicitly asking for it. The food was good but I was disappointed with the overall attentiveness. This was my first visit and I had high expectations from a restaurant by Jason Atherton and was expecting something along the lines of Pollen Street Social but it was a total let down.

We arrived at 7:30 as per our booking. We had not been allocated a table for 4 despite phoning the restraurant twice when booking to ask how to book 3 for Restraurant week and 1 for the a la carte menu and being told this was all taken care of. It then took 2 hours for us to receive our main course! 3 of which arrived cold (veal short rib). Starters were good but waiting over 1.5 hours between course is far to long. One of the veal dishes was also far too fatty and was not eaten as it was also cold! The only saving grace was the managers demeanor. Tim smith handled the situation extremely well. Overall a dreadful dining experience and not worth the 600 dirham price tag.

I didn't enjoy the music at all. Too loud and not elegant. They run out of ribs and the starters were too small

We had a great table on the balcony overlooking the Marina especially appreciated as the inside of the restaurant was unpleasantly noisy. Not great value for money as the portions were smaller than we expected taking into account we were paying 199/head. The veal ribs particularly poor quality as more fat than meat! Finally no tip given as the service was slow, not what one expects for a top priced restaurant. I would not recommend it or go again.

Delicious expensive food. Would go again, but it's definitely a 'only for a special treat' sort of place. Flatbread is tasty but strangely incongruous with the rest of the menu.
