chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Anyone been there lately? Any comments, Thanks

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Not recently - got a bit expensive. House wine was 180 a bottle and that was a while ago now.

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

FH, 180 for house wine.

Where else is good for a group with a bit of atmosphere, was looking at Chamas as its got a band, any ideas HH?

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Trouble with groups is that so many places try to insist on a set menu and/or deposit....
Somewhere with a bit of atmosphere...that is actually not easy. Leftbank? Though I must admit I've not eaten there of an evening and is prob also expensive. Traders? Not a personal fave but always good for the old cocktails and does also have a band. There're some restaurants at the new one to one hotel. I went to the Asian which was hit and miss to say the least but decent Chilean sauvignon blanc was only 60dhs!! Yes, 60!! The steak restaurant is supposed to be good there.
What kind of group is it - mates/work...?

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

18 year olds, lads and lasses, oh and a few oldies as they like to call us.
Needs to be a restaurant rather than a bar set up due to their age.

Traders might be an idea, although its too bleeding dark in there.

Bambu? Cheap & cheerful but should keep everyone happy (as long as nobody needs to use the loo).
The Noodle House at Shangri La?

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Hahahaha I was in bambu on Fri night. WTF are the toilets all about..YEUCK!!
I love the 3 rollers parked by the pool..
Food was alright though..No MSG which is a rarity here.and as much bitburger as I would stomach.

Apparenty that one2one brunch you can chose food from any of the 3 restuarants..

Grace, what about the meat company out by the Souq?

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Went to the meat co once here - wouldn't go back!!

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

really? i have not been to the one here...

whats wrong (apart from the prices)

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Well yeah exactly - it was really expensive. But on top of that, the steaks were crap and the service terrible. So I wouldn't be rushing back.

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

I like the meat company I go there for lunch quite a bit, its a bit far, the teens all live in AD

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

What about Vista at The Club?
Always had good purvey there and it's a lovely setting/atmosphere
Used to have music on the beach dependant on which night-....

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

yea, its nice and there are a few bars also for a post meal drink

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Can you still hire the Dhow Commander? Used to be able to for small dinner parties......

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

believe so, but im a bit sceptical of the safety of these things...Just my opinion..

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Yes, valid point.

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Dont you have to be a member?

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

you'd be okay with me there...Im trained:D

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

i think it has to be booked by a member? so there you go, pay my dinner and drinks and ill come along and provide post dinner speeches about my time in the Navy...

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Commander will know current situ I'm sure but last time I was there as a guest of members(me and a few other nonmembers) I thought there would be a cover charge for non members.....apparently not.It seemed they have(had??) a system to allow non members to dine, even without the company of a member.....hth.
Was lovely sitting up there and dining al fresco.

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

:D:D

Och I'm ne'r without a couple of Mae Wests anyways;)

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

aye the lads would prob love that and the lasses not so much

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

its alright, id have already pulled them...

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

grace, what about hiring a boat and getting them to cater...you can provide your own drinks too...sure you could get a dj on board...

MM, xx

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

thanks doll, only 12 of them, wants good friends only, Pregoes is the preferred choice, aye get them hey

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

Zzzzzzz............
It's supposed to be a party, Commander!!

Yeah, as long as a member books non-members can use the Club restaurants no extra charge, as long as they don't then take the piss and spend the rest of the afternoon on the beach/by the pool....

Pregos is a good choice Grace. Is this a post-18th then or a leaving celebration? Or both?!

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

This is part of his 18th pressie, he didnt want a party so am taking a gang of them for dinner and then they are all staying over at ours, god help me, I am taking him to NY or Tokyo when he makes his bleeding mind up also.

Ha ha he wishes he was leaving thats for sure, hes got one year left. At this stage HH they all want to get out of here and spread their wings. You have got it all to come......

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
 

A 'sleepover' for 18 year olds?! Jeez - that sounds dangerous!!! Have fun!

Re: chamas rest at Inter Cont Abu Dhabi
