More about: Manhattan GrillI was craving for some good meat and while visiting a friend staying at The Grand Hyatt, the Manhattan Grill seemed like a good choice.Serving up different cuts of US prime beef, Manhattan Grill steakhouse in Dubai gives you a classic New York experience with its sleek and modern interior while the combination of metal and dark timber adds a touch of society action and style. Satisfy your craving for meaty tenderness with hearty steaks or juicy burgers, complete with a slice of dessert.

A perfect initiative:My friend didn’t order a starter so the chef complimentary sent him a small shrimp and asparagus salad to open up his appetite. I loved this gesture.We had for dinner:
- Dungeness crab cakes, mango chutney, cumin oil, cilantro aioli: In a Rectangle plate, three balls of crab are served next to a mix of mango cut in cubes. Non oily, the crab fried balls are tasty filled with a purée of fresh crab mixed with some vegetables. Put together a bite of fresh crab with to the sweetness of the mango and this will be a nice starter
- House smoked salmon, black pepper sour cream, shallots, capers, parsley: Fresh salmon served with dices of apple, this plate is simple. I would like to bring up a point here. Look at the image? Is it appetizing? Salmon is a fine and expensive fish with a color and texture that speaks for itself. Why would you need to cover it with that many ingredients, that many onions and find a way to put the cream on top as well? Please no!
- Wild mushroom and tarragon soup, truffle oil, crouton: served in a large round bowl, the soup is fresh and tasty while a background smell of truffle oil turns its simplicity into finesse
- Wagyu sirloin steak, 335g, Grade 7: Wagyu refers to several breeds of cattle, the most desired of which is genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. The meat from such wagyu cattle is known for its quality, and demands a high price. The Manhattan Grill meat is simply excellent, and perfectly well prepared. I loved its tenderness and juiciness which justifies its high price…. Superb to say the least
- Crispy fries: Large potatoes that seems to have been boiled before being fried. A thick crunchy envelop of Tempura flower, while the inner part is non oily and soft like butter. Bravo for this mouthwatering creation
- Wagyu rib eye steak, Grade 6, 335g: Soft and tender, it melts under your teeth like butter
- Caramel cheesecake: Fade! A faded taste of neutrality and over sweetness. Didn’t like it all. Two bites and I decided to spare the unnecessary calories
- The banana chocolate sunday is too melty, too gewy, too sweet and the bananas were too hard. Not something I recommend or will order again.
