Brooklyn Chophouse Abu Dhabi definitely lived up to my expectations. Firstly all staff from from the moment I arrived were extremely attentive, warm, friendly and welcoming. I have a dairy allergy and the chef very kindly offered to alter a particular dish so that I could still enjoy it with my meal for which I was extremely grateful. I was given a refreshing and very delicious welcome drink which was very much appreciated as it was quite hot and humid outside as I visited at the end of June. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection exactly the way I requested as was the bok choi. The ambience was was very well thought out with soft incandescent mood lighting and enlarged black and white pictures of various sites in New York City. All to the backdrop of familiar urban music favourites. I will definitely dine there again when next I am in Abu Dhabi and recommend to friends. Read less

The service at W Abu Dhabi was exceptional. From the welcoming staff to the remarkable check-in process (bythe amazing talent “Depar”), the ambiance of the rooms, and the attractions, every aspect was flawless. I highly recommend this establishment and plan to return every weekend, as my family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The breakfast team was particularly impressive, especially the talented Baba. He made my young child extremely happy and entertained him in a delightful manner. Thank you, Baba. Thank you W Abu Dhabi for providing such an unforgettable experience. I eagerly anticipate our next visit. Read less
