Dubai Marina is only a hour away. FYI.

The restaurants at the St. Regis on Saadiyat?

We all know that the only half decent places are in the Beach Rotana, and they are shite.

The restaurant overlooking the beach, opposite the Hilton on the corniche near the palace, has a reasonable swank quotient.

I also like the Jazz Bar in the Hilton, but it's actually more wank than swank if the wrong crowd's in.

We've always had a nice meal at Teatro in the Park Rotana. Blue Grill on Yas is nice, albeit a bit out of town.
