CE LA VI sits on the 54th floor of Address Sky View in Downtown, and its selling point is unmistakable: the famous swings and a breathtaking view over Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa. Reviewers agree the setting is stunning. Where they split, sharply, is on the food, service and value: given the reputation and the price, a notable share came away disappointed by slow or awkward service, so treat it as a view-and-a-drink icon more than a dinner destination.

At.mosphere sits high in the Burj Khalifa, and the view is the headline: breathtaking from the moment you arrive. Reviewers rate the food highly, one calls the afternoon tea the best they have had, and single out warm, named service. A few found the experience slightly inconsistent for such a prestigious setting, but most leave delighted.
