We came for the Saturday brunch during its first day launched, have to be fair this is taking into consideration that they are new to this.
Food was good (especially the chicken) but service was a bit slow. The manager came and apologised- then the service improved after that. Drinks was very good especially the whisky and sparkling wine/rose.
Music was a bit noisy so we needed to shout to chat among friends. Lastly, price was very reasonable as it was introductory price at AED150 (soft drinks) and AED200 (with house drinks). Good deal with that price and I’m sure it will improve over time.

The burata salad was excellent the rest of the first and side dishes were good
The raw salmon dish was so overspiced that the salmon could not be tasted, either the salmon was not fresh or the Chef was from Madras
The two pieces of meat ,one of them ribeye that we were served were excellent and expertly grilled
But the meat choice was limited . There was not a tomahawk steak available,neither spare ribs and what was proposed to us aa porterhouse steak was a T-bone .
We believe that a restaurant of this class must have available the items written on the menu.
We were expertly and graciously served by a Filipino lady.
The wine list is extensive
The decor and ambience is nice.

This restaurant is where we stayed - The Heritage Autograph Collections. Th breakfast is also provided by them.
Did went for their Brunch, I would say is definitely value for money. They have different sets for brunch and you can choose for free flow of drinks or alcohol (depends which set you choose) Highly Recommend
Food was good but I am very impressed with their services, which nowadays are difficult to come by.
Would like to give special thanks to the Floor Manager name Mr Abanoub and also Mr Nazmui ( Service Crew) both of them will consistently check on customers. Well done and the excellent attitude.
Once again, thank you so much.

To say our visit to Reef and Beef was dissapointing would be an understatement. Alarm bells were ringing when we were asked to pay for our brunch before we sat down! Things went downhill from there. The following observations are just some issues which contributed to us a guests feeling annoyed following our visit:
1. No accommodation made for further menu options for a guest that only ate fish
2. DJ played house music all the time - If we wanted dance music we would have booked to eat at a disco
3. Charged 75dhs for a bloody mary as it was not on the drinks package - however, vodka was, so we were essentially charged 75dhs for tomato juice!
4. Server did not explain how the food was to be served, this led to confusion at the table
5. Drinks were slow to be ordered and even slower to arrive
We will not be visiting again. Believe me, this was a classic example of "style over substance". I wish we had gone to Hunter and Barrel.

Thought we would try somewhere new and visited on the last day of the introductory offer for brunch. Unfortunately the very first impression when greeted is you need to pay before entering, never think that this is good start, also this creates a large queue, so if you wish to start at 1pm be prepared to arrive early. The restaurant was very busy and service was superb along with the quality of the drinks. The problem is the busier it became the noisier it became. The DJ is far too loud so everyone ends up shouting over it, so not ideal if you wish to have a conversation. Could not fault the starters that were brought swiftly, unfortunately it all felt very rushed and staff couldn't wait to bring mains. We requested a break in between but when mains did arrived they all the dishes were only slightly warm and not hot at all so not enjoyable. Personally felt the steak was average, the chicken was over seasoned and the mash potato/spinach etc were too cold to eat. The desserts and coffee were fine. Overall not as good as I was anticipating so little disappointing.

5 of us attended Saturday brunch and it did not disappoint. Gorgeous decor and a great vibe, we were seated at our table and drinks followed very quickly.
I love it when brunch is set menu and served to the table, you get to try a little bit of everything!
From the amuse bouches, to entree, mains and dessert, everything was exquisite. The food was of such a high standard a s in very generous proportions, with plenty of seafood as well.
My dish of the day was the meatballs in the entree, the were soft, pillowy and were an explosion of flavour! Next time I will be ordering a whole plate for myself!
I must also point out the service, it truly was the most attentive service I've had in a restaurant for a very long time. Each time you finished a drink, the next one was placed down. Very well trained staff.
Thank you Reef & Beef for an amazing dinner, we'll be back!

If you're looking for a dining experience in Downtown Dubai, this steakhouse is a must-visit. The steaks are cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The seashells, fresh and succulent, offer a great contrast to the rich meat. The ambiance is elevated by the stunning view of the Burj Khalifa. Perfect for a special night out or any occasion that calls for exceptional food.

Prefer lunch to dinner and this pace was perfect for that. Had the steak with their special sauce, I like my steak well done 9which can be challenging for some chefs), but for this chef it was obviously easy as the end product and it was really really good ~ so tender. Had the strudel for desert also good. There is a lunch special and they do serve alcohol if you sit inside. Outside tables alcohol free. Have been recommending to my family to try. Would definitely go back

The worst experience on every level. Steak came seriously uncooked. Staff did not care - bad attitudes. Apart from one waiter. No drinks offered. No menu given. Had to ask for everything. When I complained the lady in charge just shrug her shoulders like ‘so what’.

The price point demands perfection and that’s exactly what you get.
Ambience, Service and food are simply beyond expectations.
This venue is simply exceptional.
Having reviewed several hounded venues this is by far the best. It simply exudes decadence.

I visited Reef and Beef recently for dinner and had a great time at the restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised by this new find.
The food was both tasty and high quality and the decor was elegant and chic. This spot is ideal for both a romantic date night or an evening with friends.
The venue itself is located in a prime location, on the main street in Downtown Dubai, and conveniently has a free valet service for is guests - making parking very easy and convenient.
All evening, we had an excellent selection of music and the volume was at the right level to enjoy and also be able to have conversations.
I'd definitely visit again and highly recommend Reef & Beef as cosy and enjoyable dining spot.
