Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Was given an amuse bouche of crab which was nice. They had lobster specials running and had the best lobster dish I've ever had (it has taken over that spot from the one I had at Le Bernadin). It was a pan twisted lobster tail in burnt butter and poached rhubarb of all things. It... More

Just been to thIs restaurant and found their service appalling. the only time we saw our waitress is when she was flirting with a single gentlemen customer for around 20 minutes letting almost the whole room know that she is not going to work here for a long time, laughing and joking, telling her life story, while we were waiting...

This is an amazing restaurant. From the moment you walk in, the service is impeccable. The bouillabaisse starter was incredible and then we shared the salt baked sea bass that was definitely the best fish I have ever tasted. After dinner we were given delicious petit fours. The atmosphere is lovely with a live pianist. Loved it

I visited the Emirates Palace Hotel for the first time and left thinking I’ve missed out on this paradise my entire life. This amazing Hotel is grand in its size and golden décor, it is an embodiment of ultimate luxury in every aspect…from the ambiance, the level of service, and the scrumptious food. I dined at the Sayad restaurant and... More

This is the seafood restaurant within the Emirates Palace Hotel. We were seated outside overlooking the sea which was ambient though there is also seating inside which has a more formal feel. The food was faultless, truly delicious throughout. Staff were top drawer and completely on the ball. 3 courses and a bottle of wine from the more modest end... More

Absolutely the best ever seafood cuisine experience. From the entrees through the main courses to the dessert, it is a firework of tastes and smells and savours. Very difficult to explain in words, but seafood is very delicate and there is a thin line between a successful meal and a failed one. At Sayad, each meal is a success.
