Vu, Emirates Towers...

Re: Vu, Emirates Towers...
I would go somewhere else.. I've only been to Neos for some drinks, its nice, no idea about the food though (Do they have any? Didn't see, was late anyway).
I'm used to dine out in (and work in) Michelin starred restaurants in Europe, and for the right restaurant prepared to travel (once drove to the Elzas in France just to have lunch at a 3 starred restaurant: L'Arnsbourg). But I didn't find anything remotely comparable to it in Dubai, most of the time the food is good, sometimes great I dare to say, but almost always the service is really bad. Getting tired of the Philippino/Indian staff.
Not being racist or something, but a lot of restaurants here think serving people is like teaching a monkey a trick, while it is so much more than that! Exceptions to the rule which I found so far are Zuma and Lemongrass.

i've been to Vu a few times and had fabulous food and service every time...the view from there is stunning, floor to ceiling windows, unlike in Vus bar, which i'm not keen on...

Re: Vu, Emirates Towers...
i think it's horrible...it's like a massive hanger, that they've tried to make look ok by whacking up loads of red everywhere and crystal chandeliers...then there are the restaurant tables to one side (hundreds of them, so hope it's busy or you'll feel like a total tool), and the bar and dance area on the other side...hideous people in there too...and drinks cos a fortune, a white wine is 85dhs, lmao...
