This was a very dissatisfying visit. Even though you can't pick or book a table near the window in advance, there are certain tables which were booked up front. I've asked in 2 or 3 occasions how this is possible, and why I can't have the tables they have "strongly recommended" to be arranged especially for this occasion - the staff replied it was because of corona or something similar that makes no sense at all.
Anyway, the service in this place is poor. I remember Skyview Burj to be a special experience before, which is a far shot from that today. It takes time to get the drinks ordered or refilled, the waiters seem to be uninterested. The tables are too small for the tasting menu (4 people per table) and the drinks/glasses, it all gets messy and hectic. All in all, this is definitely a place you don't want to be at for your special occasion today. Dubai has to offer much much more at different locations, and unfortunately Burj al Arab at Skyview has lost that vibe it had in the past.

Me and my best friend went to High tea on Feb 16, 2020 at 1pm. It was a very bad experience for me as I got sick after eating the sandwich’s and ended up in the bathroom due to stomach issues. We had to leave right away and didn’t finish high tea courses.
What’s even more disheartening is I reached out to Sky View bar twice to explain what happened, it’s been over a week and there has been no response.
I would not recommend this high tea establishment to anyone.

Service and the whole experience was a great thing, even for this place it is a bit overpriced.
But when ever you have the chance in Dubai and the “change in your pocket” book a visit and enjoy the feeling and the view.
For me, I was the second time there and the look doesn’t change, some things are old and looks badly used. There are no investments for the sky view bar the last 2-3 years.

This was the second time my husband and I have visited Skyview bar for afternoon tea. This time on our baby moon - the staff were great and very accommodating to my dietary requirements being pregnant......also had a delicious mocktail!
Food & service was fantastic, made a very special afternoon for us. Will hopefully be back in again!

Me and my partner visited for a drink. Expensive prices (expected) adequate views, and service staff I felt to be rude. I wouldn’t waste your time if you are thinking of coming just for a drink and to see the hotel as an “experience”, there are far better places to go in Dubai where the service, views and prices are better.

This is a special place and the service we received from AJ was of a 7 star quality. We had a beautiful window seat and the cocktails and cheese board were amazing. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Put this place on the bucket list

Visited few weeks ago on a special occasion however left disappointed. The atmosphere is nice if you get to get a table with a view as there are limited tables window side. The variety of drinks is very large however it needs more variety of snacks and desserts. We had difficulties to find a bite as we always enjoy some food with the drinks. At the end I decided on a dessert (options very limited) and the portion of it was literally tiny. The worst of everything was the service unfortunately. The waitress was not much friendly and smily. Made me feel not much welcome. I appreciate the rose given to as my partner has mentioned the special occasion while making the booking.

Out of 6 glorious days in Dubai this was our only negative experience. I’ve never seen such pompous self important people in my life. You could not pay me to walk through their doors again. Jerks all the way around

Lovely experience!
The food was good and the view’s amazing!
We had seen this restaurant from the Burj Khalifa and decided we wanted to try it!
Plus it had been recommended by a local friend.
The staff were good and Myllre was particularly friendly and helpful!

Ciao, ho provato a prenotare e mi chiede solo ora e data.
Sono libera di prendere ciò che voglio quando sono li? o c'è qualche modo di specificarlo prima?
Ho letto le diverse esperienze, pertanto intendo fare solo un aperitivo.
Grazie mille a chi risponderà
