An amazing new restaurant in Dubai that adds real value to the Dubai restaurant scene! Nick is a genius, and the ambience, decor, setting, and food are simply outstanding! A must-do in my book—well done, Nick and The Beam Team!

For someone who is extremely picky, this gets 5 stars from me. What a gem in the heart of Marina, with amazing sunset views, super original drinks and a really interesting menu, different from anything else in the area. And the flatbread, to die for!

Awesome food. Excellent cocktails. Great setting. Nick has pulled out all the stops at his latest venue. The lamb melted in the mouth. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.
