Wanted something different and tried 261 for a change..
Good variety on the menu to choose from and enough to cater for all tastes..
Food was served within a timely manner and we were not disappointed..
I opted for the pie and mash, my wife went for the Guinness pie and my daughter the BBQ Chicken wrap..
All dishes were extremely flavorsome and good size portions..

Called in here after our round of golf at the els club. The food was so good that the next day we got a taxi here just to have a meal as we were staying not far from the club. The salmon is delicious, was perfectly cooked. You can also use the entertainer app here so you get 2 main meals for the price of one, so as well as being good food it was great value.

"Dining at Els club was an absolute delight! The outdoor setup added a charming ambiance, complemented by delectable dishes and refreshing drinks. From flavorful appetizers to mouthwatering entrees were just perfect. The attentive staff and the inviting atmosphere made it the perfect spot to enjoy good food and great company with friends. A definite go-to for a memorable winter outdoor experience

We have been coming to the Els Club since it opened and today we visited the 261 and we were utterly disgusted with the service. After being seated we waited around 15 mins for our drinks order to be taken then another 20mins for them to come back for our food order. When placing our order the staff member was so rude, replying to our questions with only a shrug and a grunt. After further waiting for our drinks we then asked to speak to the manager to complain about the service he did not seem to bothered about what we had experienced and was no help at all. We decided to leave.
Very disappointed and will never go back!!!!!!

The location is great and the food itself is nice, but the experience was certainly spoiled by the level of service which was quite frankly terrible.
We went with friends and the waiters were clearly struggling even though it wasn’t that busy, yet the place was quite obviously understaffed for a weekend.
We reminded the waiters three times that we were still waiting for one of the beverages for one of our group, and still it didn’t arrive. He was so disappointed.
Having eaten at quite a few gold clubs in Dubai this was hands down the poorest level of service we have received.
One of the waiters was also really quite really rude and was evidently having a bad day. We did complain about the poor level of service but it was almost shrugged off with no attempt to really apologize or try to understand what the issue was or has been.
The management seriously need to do some additional training here and need to staff appropriately at weekends as I’m sure we won’t be the only ones who will be reluctant to return after our experience today.

Service is less than average it’s taken 40mins so far as I’m writing this just for a all day breakfast and eggs on toast.
45 mins and it’s here now lucky it’s not busy.
The food is very average for such a nice golf course.
Don’t recommend eating here during the day if you have somewhere to go.

Service was slow 1/2 hour wait to order a drink 10 mins after we received, tried to use a voucher from Entertainer and was refused as not a house beverage, how are you supposed to know what is a house beverage, no listing of this in the terms and conditions of use Waiter told us it’s nothing to do with him the club makes the rules. This restaurant should not be on the entertainer as it is misleading and totally unfair x this is the only venue I have had this with it was a beer for goodness sake. Angry and disappointed. It’s not the money it’s the principle. I think the entertainer should remove them from their listing won’t be returning
Later very the entertainer and highly recommend buying but 261 at the Els 1 out of 10

This is such a great set up overlooking the golf course. The food is always great its just a pity that the service leaves much to be desired. Almost every time we've come here we wait ages for a menu and drinks. Of course we eventually have to go find a waiter to take our order. The poor service definitely takes away from the experience...

Went here when we were in Dubai last year as the food was good, it was very busy and took a while to get served in the first place. I had Thai green curry, you could choose prawn or chicken so i opted for chicken. It tasted good but i think they forgot to put the chicken in, must have been 4 small pieces at most, bit disappointing. Used the entertainer app so wasn’t too bad for two for one meal. Wouldnt rush back

The food was nice, location great with sunset. And service was also good until I asked for a second glass of wine for my wife. I asked to please serve / pour the wine at the table. A waiter came to serve the wine but made it clear that they do not do this. I told him that we would like to have it served at the table. Then the waiter mentioned in a rude tone that this will not happen again. I asked to talk to the manager and wanted to explain the incident but he never came. Not cool.

This spot is fantastic for all families! There is tons of space for the kids to run around and the atmosphere was incredible, we absolutely loved the live singer and sitting outside enjoying delicious food! The butcher’s block was fantastic and so was the butter chicken! A must visit!

Great view and food is good.
Enjoyable place for the whole family and you can also bring your dog
Els as a golf course is one of the best in the UAE from an entertainment point of view.
Jen, a waitress working there is excellent and happy to make your day out special.

Lovely lunch with great view of the golf course. Perfect for winter months in Dubai. The menu has a nice selection of something for everyone. Great place to go for an easy relaxed lunch with friends. Staff were also friendly and accomodating. Will definitely go back.
