Whoaaaaa what a breathtaking experience! Loved the view and the place ! This is just perfect spot to admire the Palm from the top.52nd floor, a short stop by the Welcome Desk and we are accompany to our table with a breathtaking view. Loved it ! We stayed there for hours ! Especially when we were informed that there are Happy Hours from 4 pm till 7 pm. Be sure not to miss them ! The Bar Bites are delicious. Nachos are just huge, a very very big portion - be aware. As well as their Frozen Margarita, by the way 😅Totally recommended for an unforgettable view and great time

Excellent food with an amazing view! The pork spare ribs were lip smacking. Very nice cocktails and the mains were also delicious. Staff are very friendly and great service. Special thanks to William, his service was wonderful.

The 360 degree view of Dubai from the 52nd floor and the drinks were fantastic.I would reduce one star because of the service. Well it is not the fault of staffs but we felt like there is a delay in the service and also the staffs were ignorant and took a very long time to assist our needs. There were so many guests and the number of staffs were too less. Restaurant manager was very friendly though.

Took forever to get the bill... food is great. Beautiful sunset view .the reception girl (Jameela) has superb customer skill.

I dont know why we havent been here earlier, such a lovely place!The food, the vibe, the view and the wonderful staff!Thank you for making my birthday special!Special shout out to Roger and Thelma!

The staff is very friendly, helpful and in a good mood, you have a beautiful view day and night, but for me personally the lighting was not so nice

Amazing views, food and drinks are good. Entertainer option available. An old hotel, felt like the bar could do with a revamp but otherwise lovely!

Loved it. Best filet mignon I have EVER EVER had. And views to die for. Thank you.

The ambience is nice. Food is quite good, but limited chice. I suggest you expand the menu choices to include more appetizer and main course options.The venues temperature is extremely cold! We complained 4 times and I had to ask for 2 pashminas to warm up....Carry a jacket...just in case.

Iv always loved the view from observatory but went for ladies night and just loved the drinks served with bite for 120dhs they also give you a tiara to make you a princess for the evening

The view from there is fantastic. Drinks are great and the food is good. Very kind, helpful and friendly staff.

This is a place with most beautiful view in Dubai and they offer nice bites and very good selection of wines and other beverages.

Looking for a great view of the Palm? Try the Observatory Bar and Grill in Marriott super nice place to have lunch with friends or family. Foods and staffs are amazing, thank you Chef Anil for the foods. To Shaji and Mpumie for the wonderful service. Hasta luego, Adios !

The one place where you can get alcohol in Dubai. Cool and relaxed atmosphere with an unprecedented view of the Palm Jumeirah..

The place has an amazing view from 52th floor and the service and food was excellent. Very friendly staff that makes you want to go again . I try the Pan Seared Salmon and it was fantastic. Sure will go again to try most of their dishes .Suggestion.. Restaurant needs a renovation as soon as possible but is still a great restaurant.

What a nice place! Amazing food and great staff. The view is just outstanding

Beautiful place, stunning views of Palm Jumeirah, good service by Vivian and staff, they have a nice happy hour deal before 7 also on food. Generous portion of Nachos and good cocktails

Fabulous! One of the best steaks in Dubai. Great service and stunning views.

Great views of the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and good food!

Awesome place. Service was great Jimi.Steak was great too and view is a bonus. I believe they can upgrade / renovate their interior now. It feels little aged there..

Living up to its name, The Observatory offers really stunning views of Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and many other landmarks through its windows spanning all around the restaurant. The food was really good and kudos to Shaji for being a helpful and wonderful host.

Was thinking of dining there for the night view of Marina, but was pleasantly impressed by the food as well. Our families loved the steak, sliders and crab cakes and especially the big portion of nachos mixed with guacamole, sour cream and jalapeno. Social distancing is clearly followed. The place felt a bit old but cozy and charming. A little toy and snack box for kids was a nice touch. Good and friendly service.

One of my Favorite places in Dubai. Very classy environment. Love the Nachos and cocktails.

Unhappy hour drinks are expensive and they have made the whole. Place available for eating which means the bar and the smoking area are not as accessible for those of us who dont want to eat. I thought I needed to book but the Web site is still just talking abkur half the space being for dining so we took our chance. They were able to find two tables near each other for. Our large party but it was all just a bit average... Might give it a miss next time.

We had a fantastic birthday brunch here. Views were outstanding and Roger, our waiter, could not have done more for us. He anticipated our every need and was wonderful to chat to in between courses. The drinks were fantastic and the dessert in particular (usually forgotten during a brunch) was very memorable. Thank you Roger for giving us such a special day.

A nice restaurant with an awesome view over palm Jumeirah. The Food is great and so are the drinks. The place ist clean and the staff is very friendly. I recommend making a reservation to make sure you’ll get a table at the window with the view on the Palm.

Absolutely great fully catered for as a Vegan.

Very good food. Friendly staff. A great place to eat, have a drink and enjoy the view

The place was ok. Needs good maintenance. Drinks are good and food is ok. Only good thing was the views of Ain Dubai and Palm Jumeirah.

The steak was delicious and well cooked. Even our waiter(Ruth) was friendly and polite. Will definitely come here again.

Cocktails were a little strong. Food was great. Service was slow, we often had to re-order drinks several times and wait 15-20 mins to get them and we went there on a Monday night.

Breathtaking view and flavorful- and pleasant looking food.

Only one side of the resturant has a good view. The other side looks very dull n the light is too dim.

I chose this place for my wifes birthday and I dont regret it! We enjoyed the sunset view as well as the view of the palm island. Food was tasty. End of course huge thanks for the suprise cake .

They had an offer which covered 3 drinks in AED100 which was good. The ambience is really amazing and the staff is very good with prompt service.

Very nice brunch on Fridays

We went to celebrate my wife birthday, they stunned us by giving cake and the entire staff wishing and singing. What an amazing & mesmerizing View of Dubai Marina, Blue Waters & Palm Jumeirah from the 52nd floor. Surprisingly drink and food menus are quite affordable. Highly Recommended.

Delicious food, great cocktails, brilliant waiters and an amazing view.

An incredible view of the Dubai Marina and the new worlds largest ferris-wheel The AinA must for anyone not afraid of heights at 52 floors up in the sky 😨😉

The most amazing aspect of that restaurant is their views. Enjoy a meal or a drink or while enjoying the mind-blowing set of Dubai Marina area.There is no price for this type of experience.The restaurant have a smoking are and a non-smoking area. The service is great. The food is so yummy and the size of the dishes is big.On Monday they have a ladies night from 8pm until 12am for 52 dirham. A great deal!If you are looking for an outstanding place to enjoy a couple of drinks and food this is your spot.

A one of a kind view, supportive staff. Great brunch.

The 3 stars are because the food is good and the waiters are good. But is WAYYYY understaffed, they run like headless chickens taking care of more clients they can handle, at least for lunch, and barely any tables are occupied.Nobody greeted us by the entrance, only waiters gave us table.It is not fair for the staff to work this way and neither fair for clients: the orders take too long, also the bill, etc.Must pay attention to it ASAP.

Lovely place to drink with amazing views of the city. The food was really good and tasty. I do recommend the place. Normal prices, not really expensive.

One of the most amazing and romantic place in Dubai to enjoy the evening. You can have beautiful view of Dubai Marina, Bluewater Islands (Ain Wheel) and Palm Jumeirah from The Observatory. It is located at the 52nd floor of Marriott Harbor Suites in Marina. The steak and seafood is really awesome. We spent our marriage anniversary so they offered us complimentary cheesecake with wishes. No doubt everything from the welcome desk to the environment to the hostess, everything was awesome. Our hostess was Thelma (if I am not wrong) and she served us really well. A must visit place with your partner to spend quality time.

Go to spot, since we live walking distance. For sure order their nachos!! The best views of Palm, Marina and JBR, and most attentive staff. Recommend to make a reservation as Thursday evenings gets crowded. THlhey also have pork options!

Great view! Nice place for tourists or take visitors. Theyre on the entertainer which helps

If youre looking for a place to see the marina beach and Palm Jumeirah stretch in all its glory, this is it! With a 360 degree view of the sea, the 52nd floor of the Marriott is a beautiful location for b/drunch. Watching the sun set over the Persian gulf from this spot was ethereal! Slightly expensive, but made affordable with happy hour rates and offers(4-7 PM on weekdays) Make sure to call and reserve a window seat, with covid restrictions walk-in may not always be possible. The service is brilliant, food great, beer cold, and view simply stunning.

Super disappointed of the Friday brunch here, it’s a place I like to go and have dinner and a drink, but I would never go back to their brunch. Seems like they cook what wasn’t used through out the week and throw something together at the last minute. Drink menu is bottom shelf as well. Outside of the brunch their food is good and the steaks are properly cooked.

I love this place. Easy valet parking. Beautiful view. Really really good food. And for the smokers a place where you can smoke. Love it.

I have no words to say what a beautiful view this place offers. And the service is definitely unmatched. Our food was recommended by Chef Abhishek himself and Cornelius took care of our table. The food was heavenly and the service as said before was unmatched. Will definitely visit again.

The food is delicious and price is reasonable. The reason why I recommand here is the best place to see the Burj Khalifa and fountain show. In addition, the waiter and manager was best. They made many memorable photo of us and we got a wonderful table service.

After walking along the marina and noticing the bright signage we decided to visit this beautiful establishment (old school comfortable) after first speaking with Jamila to confirm a table for two. Jamila is a delight by the way, and she seated us in an intimate corner with a wonderful view.The CRAB CAKE IS AMAZING, it entered the clean plate club - like when a dish is so good you start to slow down towards the end because you want it to last? This is that dish. From the tender and fresh herbed crab cake (maybe mixed with an aioli or mayo) to the sweet sour notes of the pineapple that are balanced with the bittersweet raddicio leaves and microgreens to the contrasting texture of the togarashi tapioca crackers. It is a sensation and you must have it.

Very nice atmosphere, sometimes it could get a bit noisy so if you expect a quiet romantic time, might not be the best choice, however, if you like a lively, cozy one this is definitely the one. Food wise it is really really good, well cooked based on your order. Staffs are very polite, helpful and friendly. Gets very crowded in weekend so if you planned to go in weekend, make reservation to be on the safe side

Review of friday brunch st the observatory. Located on the top floor of the marriot in the marina. Excellent views. Easy to find. Only indoor seating so its summer/ Ramadan friendly.Charcuterie was good. Both pork and halal options. Surprisingly good sushi was fried short ribs. Main course was average.They accommodated nut allergies well except for desert. Cut up fruit was meh compared to the crumble and other excellent deserts.Average options for drinks. About 6 options for cocktails. Usual wine and bubbly. Only one beer though.Its on the brunch entertainer option. Well worth the price and a good option for out of town guests. We will come back.

If this review was merely about the food and the service provided, Observatory only just managed to get a three-star rating. The food is not more than okay. There isnt much special about the menu and the choices you get. Hence, the wow should come from the quality of the products used and the way they are incorporated into the dishes. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesnt know to surprise here.The same accounts for the service. It is okay, but not more than that. The staff isnt putting in the effort necessary to provide you with top-notch service. Glasses are left empty until you decide to refill your glass yourself. Orders arent taken within a timely matter. Not even a question whether theres anything else youd like during dinner.In the end, the night wasnt as wed expect from Observatory.The only upside was the view, which is the reason we rated our visit with four stars. Do note that as long as you arent able to get a hold of a window table, youre stuck with average food and service with no nice view at all.

My girlfriends and I had been to the brunch earlier this year and we loved everything about it; the food, the service and the view. A gentleman from the Philippines served us (unfortunately, I cant remember his name, but he was so accommodating. For this reason, my friend Mandy decided that we should go to the brunch again, this time with our husbands. So we booked for Friday the 21st May. We were served by Jimi, who seemed nice at the onset but later wasnt so accommodating. When we asked for a couple of drinks for last orders, she said it wasnt possible, this, despite the fact that we werent ordering lots of drinks during the brunch. The food was okay but not as great as our previous experience, and the service wasnt as good as before. We were so disappointed! Additionally, about 45 minutes after the brunch while we were still finishing our drinks, she asked us to vacate the table as they had to prepare for dinner! Unbelievable! This has never ever happened to us before, anywhere! Needless to say, we shall not be recommending the Observatory to our friends or family.

Great food, staff very attentive, perfect ambience overall just perfect.

Great views, amazing food and extremely nice and professional staff. We had a lovely time there.

I had an amazing brunch. The food was really good, a wide variety of food to choose from, I particularly enjoyed the tenderness of the meat served, well spiced and properly cooked and a good range of drinks too. The service was excellent.... The sky high view is out of this world, you can literally have a great view of the city at a glance. I definitely recommend brunch here 👍🏾👍🏾

Dear William Alex,I want to express my sincere gratitude for a great service you provided for me on Saturday during Queens Social Ladies Night. You made my evening and my experience unforgettable and extremely enjoyable!

Hi we went up to the Observatory at the Marriott Harbour Hotel in Dubai Marina today.We didnt eat there but had a coffee (50 dirhams). As just wanted to see the views from the observatory.Unfortunately the windows were filthy and not sure why they are not cleaned. But the view was amazing.The staff are friendly and attentive.I was worried about my clothing as had in a half sleeve linen shirt and knee length cargo shorts and boat shoes on, but was welcomed in with out any issues. So the dress code is relaxed but this was at 2pm in the afternoon.The atmosphere was good in the venue but my wife only gave it 3 stars as didnt like the fact it had dirty windows.If you go in a Friday there is free parking on the roadway not too many parking spaces but think we were lucky today. Otherwise its a pay and display.There is no cost to go up to the observatory or enter the hotel they were very welcoming. I would suggest to go during happy hour after 4pm and if you check their website they have a number of offers on.

Amazing view of the palm and dubai marina. Finger food is good. Mocktail and Cocktail options are decent. On table service is good and staff is helpful except the main reception staff. There were some hassles and unnecessary discussions for table allocation during our visit which could have been avoided.

Wouldnt recommend for the food but for the drinks and view its a must hit spot. Gets pretty loud in the bar area on weekends but guess thats what most of the clientele there are looking for. All things considered though its one of my favourite bars in Dubai.

Quite old restaurant, but very spacious and airy. Beautiful views to both palm and marina. Small menu for meat lovers, vegans will probably go hungry.

The food was amazing partnered with an amazing view of Dubai Marina. We got the Valentines day promo on our visit, the service was excellent as well.

Highly recommended. Beautiful views and experience

Amazing food, beautiful views and serene ambience. Lovely place to have a date, smile and look out the window. Definitely worth the visit. Oh and try the scallops, tasty!!!

Really great restaurant with amazing views of Dubai. The pork belly and truffle fries were a firm favourite and the cocktails were delish! Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing food with breathtaking views. Would highly recommend. Located on 52nd floor so views as far as the eyes can see. A must go!!!

The view from top is good, starters we had Wild mushrooms and truffle french fries which were amazing. Though the turkey from their special festival menu is disappointing.

Good food, good views, good atmosphere.

Visited this place for the first time with my sister and it was amazing 😇 the view is spectacular, the foods are delicious (see the attached pictures) and the staffs they are nice and friendly. Thank you to Chef Chef Anil for the amazing foods we enjoyed it all. To Shaji and Mpumie who took good care of us they are both nice naturally with their lovely smile. Thank you guys for making our day wonderful as this will be my last day in dubai. Definitely i would love to visit his place again. Adios !

The food is great. Beautiful view and good service. The restaurant itself is a little rundown, furniture needs an update considering the prices.

The view of the palm from 52 floor is fabulous, the food and service were great

The Observatory is our favorite spot and the place where we always bring our visitors! Amazing views, great food and impeccable service. Glad that in years this Restorant has gotten only better and never disappointed!

Beautiful view and great nachos!

Awesome food and awesome views! We asked for a table with a good view of palm jumeirah. We were very happy with the service, the food, the ambience and the views!

Great views, nice meal, very helpful and lovely staff, music a bit loud for quiet conversation though

Best Dubai view anyone can ask for

Great views and great food, pork croquettes and pork belly are a must. Too bad service extremely slow. Had to waive at the waiters several times to get drinks and order food.

Ladies night was fun, as a friend suggested this venue. It even came with a tiara to place up on my head. Small bites were tasty and fresh, the spirits enhanced my good mood, and the views very satisfying from the 52nd floor of the Marriott.

While visiting the Marina we asked a few people where would could go for a quick afternoon drink. Each time the response was the Observatory in the Marriott hotel. Im glad we took the advice because it had everything we were looking for. First off its on a very high floor, so the views are great. It also has a cool decor and vibe. The best reason of all was the happy hour pricing which the waiter told us would start in about 5 minutes of our arrival. This was also the only place that we had tried that could make a true strawberry daiquiri for my wife. Kinda wish we had found this spot before our last day in Dubai.

A great place to spend sometime and the atmosphere as well as the Palm and the harbour view is pleasing to see

It was simply awesome!!!!

The view was very pretty. The food was awsome, but the serves could be improved a little. But this also could be because I went on one of there of times.

We totally loved our experience at The Observatory.We made our reservations using the app. We got a nice place near the window and the view of the marina was glittery.So although we didnt get many snaps of our meals.. be assured we didnt get the time to... #YummyliciousWe had the Crab Cakes and Scallops Mango and Truffle for startes. For Mains we had Deboned & Stuffed Sea bass, Tiger Prawns and Rib eye. The food was good and the service was excellent. The server was polite and attentive. To top it off we sealed the night with Lava Cake.The only disappointment we were unable to use the Zomato Gold offer. We were told that we could use either Zomato Gold or the Entertainer and not both.We also tried the Friday Brunch thanks to #ZomatoGold and it was just amazing. #TotallyLovedit

Place seems old, staff were so niceFood wasn’t like expected.

Good location...abit service takes long

The best place for celebrating 🥳 your anniversary, with amazing view.

Good food, great view, friendly service, amazing Chef. What more does one need?

Very nice place, the view was amazing and the food was very delicious, will be coming back again soon

Great place , would be even better if theres no mist

Observatory is a must visit place.Excellent pork ribs....yummmOur waiter Roger Fernandes was more than excited to be of best service.Warm and welcoming.Fantastic views from the window seat.

Pefect view with perfect Mexican beer. Starter was not worth neither the nacho nor the cheese fries

Great view! Very good food.

What a view, superb

I really like the brunch at the Observatory. A good selection of delicious food, but not so much as to be overwhelming, with a choice of drinks and a good atmosphere. The staff couldnt have been more helpful; our waiter, Salvin, was attentive and friendly and really made the experience better. One of my favourite brunches in Dubai.

Great views of the palm Atlantis over happy hour drinks and tasty bar food to nibble on.
