The food was just ok. We paid alot of money and the steak was not prepared to standard. There was no lobster and that was a downside but we still wanted to stay to try out the steak. We could have done better and so could the Chef. Funny thing is that I sliced the steak so it could be prepared well done and he still sent it back medium rare. Waitstaff still had a service charge of over 30 pounds. It's all good but at least we know for next time.

The view there is very nice, but the service is extremely slow. The food was ok but very expensive for what you get.

Rarely have I eaten so badly for the money. By no means a steak specialty restaurant. Rather lower standard at high prices. There are dozens of better options in the area. Only the wine for a good 100 was sensational.

The place is amazing, the view is incredible you can eat with the river view and the Big Ben as a background but the food quality is not the best, I asked for lobster and they have on the menu but they don?t have lobster, the meet was not bad but it was not good.

A beautiful space with amazing atmosphere.Best to make a reservation to avoid any awkward interactions at the entrance.The bar was excellent with an amazing barman giving top level service while I waited for my table.I had the dry aged rib eye and grilled lobster, both were remarkable.The service from our waitress was always on point, never rushed.Quite content with my experience, its pricey but I would pay for that steak any day.

So so bad, go somewhere else. We waited over two hours for food, which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as the restaurant was half empty. The food was mediocre, the sides were mostly oil and salt rather than actual seasoned food. You can enjoy the same view for free right outside. Here, it seems that you are paying for their rent, not for the food. All 7 of our steaks were so tough that none of us finished our food. We did not come to this overpriced restaurant to be served worse steaks than they give to dogs!!!The only saving Grace was our lovely, patient and understanding waitress who made the experience less hellish. Very grateful to her!I do not recommend, there are many much better places within walking distance that charge less money for far better quality food.

The visit to GrillRay?s restaurant left me disappointed. On a positive note, the Filet Steak and grilled lobster were enjoyable, and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, I ordered and finished the beef tartare alone due to hunger, even though it wasn't very tasty. However, the chocolate sundae ice cream could have been better, and it was served without a red cherry on top. After leaving the restaurant, it took half an hour to reach home. Luckily, I started feeling unwell after arriving home, not in the car, with food poisoning symptoms like vomiting and stomach pain for many hours. I had a fever without medicine until the next day evening, prompting me to seek medical help.

Came for a celebration lunch with a large group of family members ranging from 2 to 76 years old and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Food was lovely, service was very good (Khatuna was our waitress) and we even got a rare group photo afterwards at the main entrance by a member of staff who happened to be walking past us taking photos. It is also a secret oasis away from the tourist madness outside!

Average steak but the side dishes were boring. The service was slow.

The best place in Abu Dhabi, the meat is excellent, perhaps even an understatement, in short you can't forget it. Special thanks to Alam who assisted us with all the elegance and refinement of a specific context, and above all for his patience with us.A perfect intimate dinner ??

Please note, this experience was in January of 2019. This was for lunch, just after 11. Nice place, good decor. The waitress was from Georgia and very kind. I ordered a steak with truffle chips. The steak was cooked perfectly, had a good sear, and the flavor was good. I got 3 bites into it, and found a human hair under the steak. It was rather thick, black, and about 4cm long. I told the waitress, and she went to get someone, I assume from the kitchen. A person came from the back and without saying anything, quickly cleared my table, including the chips I was eating. I said I'm happy to eat these, but they said no, we have to take everything. Fifteen minutes later, I got what was the same steak, but now it was overcooked and seemed like it was boiled. I think someone said it was undercooked instead of saying "There is a huge black hair on the steak". I did get chips back, but they were smaller almost like fries, and they were saturated with truffle oil to the point of being inedible. I got ready to leave, and someone came out that I think was the manager, and was watching me put on my coat. He asked how everything was. I told him the steak was overcooked and boiled with no color on it, and the fries are almost clear from being soaked in oil. His reply was that "this just isn't your day for food" and "better luck next time". I paid £55 just to know where to never go again. I gave 2 stars for food because of the initial taste, they have it in them to do it well, but the communication and lack of hair nets made it a bad experience.

That was an amazing steak. The food was fantastic. We also really appreciate the super service. Everybody was very friendly and quick to answer any questions. Wonderful views as well.
