Default Restaurant Recommendations

Looking for suggestions where I can get a steak and the wife can have seafood. We don't go out very often and don't want to travel much further into Dubai than Marina / JLT. At worst, the palm, but the budget isn't going to stretch to Nobu!

Any sensible suggestions welcome!

Zuma is a good call. Pier Chic?

Depends on your budget.

Mykos in JLT is excellent Greek with great seafood and has pork on the menu. Not sure about steaks, but really can't fault the menu and has a booze licence too.

Hunter's Grill at the Westin has great steaks.

Cheers folks. Initially booked Pier Chic, but then cancelled after I saw there was a single steak on the menu. A shame as the location looks fantastic. Settled for Ruths, decent steak selection and a couple of seafood options. Plus only need to go as far as the Marina. Was tempted by Zuma, but just too far into Dubai for my liking.
