Definitely a 5 ️ dining experience. Lovely ambiance, we seated at the terrace because of the fantastic views even though the weather is little bit hot, cooling fan is provided anyway. Steak was great cooked as we requested. Friendly staff. Kudos team Yvonne, Gotham, Ajay and Sevinch.

What a pleasantly surprising experience. Located on the 1st floor of Intercontinental Marina, this is a very pretty restaurant with great ambiance. I went with my family and was lucky to get a live music performance through the dinner. We opted for the unlimited brunch option for 2 adults + 1 kid (complementary). The food was good and the staff was very sweet.

Gotham and the team were INCREDIBLE! They recognized the celebrations with our group and made the extra effort to keep the venue open later just for us. Complimented by incredible service, great drinks and a super cool vibe! Thanks guys! You were all amazing!

Worst Roast Dinner I've Eaten in Dubai

I had high hoped for the Sunday Roast at Marina Social but was bitterly disappointed. The beef seemed like they had bought it cold from the deli and just warmed it up - the vegetables lacked seasoning and the Yorkshire pudding was dry.
The sommeliers choice wine turned out to be a cheap Hardy's Cab Malbec - this first glass was off as bottle had been left open.
The Eton Mess desert we a scoop of raspberry sorbet, some berries and a few shards of meringue.
The real kicker was the price - AED 250 fixed for 2 courses.
What a shame as I live nearby and wanted this to be good.

We were a mixed group, and every single one of us loved the Marina Social experience.
The food was delicious, and there was a good variety.
The staff were lovely, and our server Sunil was attentive, professional and friendly.
This was not our first time at Marina Social and we look forward to coming back.

We spent Christmas Day with our family and friends here and the service was excellent, we felt relaxed with our kids aged 4-12yrs and everyone had a beautiful and intimate time sat out on the veranda with the stunning Marina backdrop.
Thank you to all the staff and entertainment!

The people who served our food were great and should receive a raise and so should the cooks because the food was great

Tried the summer social menu and the food was delicious. We wanted somewhere special to have dinner our first night in Dubai because we were on our belated honeymoon/1st anniversary holiday and it was my husband's birthday that day as well. The staff were lovely and very attentive and talked through each dish. The lovely team even sang happy birthday at the end!
Thank you for a lovely evening.

Disappointing, it was date night and we visited for wellington Wednesday. We were served a small slice of beef wellington, mashed potato and sauce. No vegetables, unless you count a roasted head of garlic. It was not a complete meal, don’t be fooled by their social media, it does not come with any vegetables. If you want to order extras their sides only include salads and potato dishes, except by special request. Really disappointed. The best part was the wine which was part of the deal and service.

We ate here after booking through OpenTable and it was great food and lovely wine, they obviously saw our anniversary on the booking and so gave us a free dessert which was really nice.

The food and wine was lovely. We were served by Jeewan and he was great!

Really cool place. It was totally empty so that was a downer.only one group of 4 was eating here on a Wednesday night. 9.30 pm

Service as in almost every single restaurant we came to in Dubai is excellent and Marina Social was extremely nice and attentive.

Food is done with care and with the very best ingredients. Definitely recommend trying the scallop ceviche and the pasta with sea urchin sauce. Dessert is also good and definitely enjoy the view while you are there.

We’ve always liked the food at Marina Social and today was even better than usual. The tomato burrata was exceptional as always, the risotto, the wagyu slider and oh the Parmesan truffle fries! The Eaton Mess with Basil sorbet was beyond expectations - esp as I’ve never had Basil sorbet so it was so new and so refreshing!

But what I’m more impressed with is the service! The staff really go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I want to thank Leister who did an awesome job waiting on us - so much attention to detail and did it all with a smile! And I want to thank Eslam who completely looked after us and made sure our evening was perfect! And for recommending the Eaton Mess thank you both and thanks for the entire team and to the reception staff as well who were v hospitable!

Definitely coming back again!

First time in Marina Social and it's a good experience

Ambience is very charming with nice background Xmas songs

Mr Ajay was very friendly and always try to maintain the customers happy

Love this place and will continue to visit.

We have a lovely Beef Wellington, excellent as always. Serviced by Ram, friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Amazing food and Ravi and Jeevan were superb with kids and taking care of us. Highly recommend this place!
24 January 2022 14:49
We did the tasting menu and everything was great. Cooked perfectly and complimentary flavors. Our server, Ravi, was great. He was by our table the whole time, we never had an empty drink, or crumbs on the table.
21 January 2022 15:05
Ravi and Jeevan were our servers tonight, they were exceptional and the food they brought us was amazing! This is our first time here and certainly not the last! Mid week specials look beautiful.
05 January 2022 18:58
Ravi, he was a great waiter who attended to every call and request. Anyone who would be visiting this place hit him up and hopefully he takes care of your table

Situated on the First Floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai Marina. The ambience is enhanced by the beautiful views overlooking the Marina - staff are friendly, professional and helpful. Lovely menu, offering fish, steaks, ribs with wonderful sides. This is fine dining, well presented and perfectly cooked food. Huge wine list, great drinks choices and cocktails. It makes for a great dining experience with friends, family or colleagues. Worth a visit.

We had an amazing time, delicious food, such a nice ambience, and very friendly staff, especially nimesh!

Blown away. This is the best place to dine in Dubai. Dining here feels like one giant game of chess, and you are part of the winning team. The menu reads beautiful, certain dishes beg you to ask more about them. The service is super Sharp! All these guys are switched on and ready and capable of making a superb dining experience.

The food is phenomenal, it’s actually delicious and well prepared, well presented and fairly priced. We decided to have only starters and such a way to dine. Beef tartare, Scallops, Crab, Duck and Foie Gras, amazing salads. We were almost taken out of Dubai for a night, and as a couple doing a Staycation - what more could we have desired.

What won the night and makes this restaurant stand above and beyond any dining experience i or we have ever encountered was the Chef, my wife has a legit intolerance to dairy and once we made our order (we use loads of sauce of the side) he gently came out, explained how the dishes were made, and rather than leave ingredients out, he offered superb substitutions!

That was amazing. But the excitement in his face as he offered this was mesmerizing, of course in the middle of dinner one is so happy to have this happen.

But when you wake up the next day and realize, this is the first time as a husband - my wife was accommodated and we both could equally share every single dish.

This is hands down the only fine dining restaurant I’ve have experienced such amazing service and quality, and they were fully booked so for the skeptics out there, we were part of a full restaurant.

Excellent food. Very tasty - especially the beef Wellington! Relaxed atmosphere and very well looked after by Raj.

If you know your food, you will not enjoy eating here. The dishes are bland and lack flavour. Food presentations are very monotonous and unexciting. The chicken main course, in particular, looked so dry and unappetising - I refused to touch it. We went on a Thursday night and the ambience was quite boring. They need to spice things up a little - change management perhaps and introduce some exciting meal options.
22 October 2021 2:16
Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view located in the heart of Dubai marina. The roast was exceptionally well cooked, tasty and presented beautifully. I asked for medium and both the lamb and the beef was cooked exactly right. The sauces and sides were delicious and added to the fulness of the meal. Drinks were perfect. Highly recommended.perhaps in winter when one can sit outside.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary last Thursday evening and everything was amazing from the moment we arrived. The staff could not be more accommodating and the food was incredible. My partner said the new chicken main course was some of the best food he’d ever had (especially the sauce) The table had an amazing view of the Marina and it has become one of our favourite places. Thank you for the perfect evening and we will definitely be back ️

The food, service and the view were awesome. We had the special menue for AED 400 for two where you could choose 4 different plates and get a choice of desserts and free alcoolic and normal drinks during two houres. We enjoyed every single food as well as the drinks. We think that the price-performance ratio was more than fair.
30 June 2021 10:00
It's a real shame what's happened to this place. Food is very average now and definitely not worth the price. No wonder it was empty and lacking any ambiance. Won't be coming back. Must do better.
09 May 2021 12:20
Just believe me! It was the best restaurant in Dubai we visited! My boyfriend and I are food enthusiasts, so we tried a few top rated places, we liked a few, but these guys surpassed every one! Even the best restaurants in Moscow!
The food is mind blowing and the service is very attentive and kind. Special thanks to Nimesh!
