Do what I say, not what I do...
[QUOTE=11Bravo]Ah, the old foresight and planning trick... I've heard that it can work wonders... I just might have to try it sometime...[/QUOTE]
With the exception of pre-booking a fav before arrival in DXB a couple of times with Emma or Firoza, the Seaview "book the table" thing is the only example of serious planning I have ever done.
I have always been curious about the "reserved" tables at the various venues and Seaview was the first place I actually tried it. Dead easy, just tell them what day you are coming and they are happy to reserve you one.
For the record, I have never tipped anyone to "reserve" a table. I presume they are happy to have a customer who they know will actually arrive and spend.
NB: This does not apply to Cyclone, where, I am informed, reserved tables come at a price (bottles or Champagne pre-purchased, or a serious high-roller.)
any Arabic/Middle Eastern women around?
From what I've gathered here, the scene is all FSE and Chinese with a smattering of African, and at rather ungodly expat pricing structure.
I'm interested in some local flavor - Syrian, Moroccan, etc etc
are they around and if so where could they be found, general idea of pricing, atttitides, experiences and any other info would be appreciated.
