We had an amazing evening at Oceano Dubai. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The team gave us personal attention throughout the night, making sure everything was perfect. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and prepared with real craftsmanship. The wine pairings were spot-on and elevated every course. You can truly taste the passion and quality in every detail. In short: a fantastic dining experience in a stunning setting. We fully enjoyed it and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

December 21st is the longest night of the year, which we celebrate in Iran as Yalda Night. This year we were in Dubai on that date, and my husband surprised me with a beautiful Yalda message at this restaurant — including a diver delivering it! It was such a romantic and unforgettable moment, and everyone in the restaurant was excited and delighted to see the diver. The atmosphere was elegant and refined. Many tables had been beautifully decorated in advance for special occasions. My husband had also ordered a large bouquet of orchids for me, which made the experience even more special. The restaurant smelled wonderful, and the staff were extremely friendly, warm, and professional. They knew the menu very well and patiently explained everything to us in detail. The music was well chosen and created a calm, relaxing ambiance that was perfect for enjoying new flavors. We loved not only the delicious food but also the great variety of dishes — there were excellent choices to explore. The ingredients were very fresh and the flavors were rich and well-balanced. Each dish was beautifully composed, and every bite was truly enjoyable. I would love to come back again and would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.

The atmosphere with the aquarium is absolutely gorgeous, and the service is impeccable. However, the prices and portion sizes are completely out of control. We started with a bottle of Laurent Perrier champagne priced at $500, whereas we typically pay between $150 and $175 for the same bottle elsewhere. We also ordered a bottle of Grey Ridge white wine from New Zealand for over $200, which retails for around $23. The presentation of the food was beautiful, but the portions were extremely small. Some dishes were delicious, while others were not particularly memorable. My husband chose this restaurant as a surprise for our business partner and me because it holds a Michelin star on Palm Island, but we left feeling disappointed, and he experienced clear buyer’s remorse over a meal that did not justify the cost. By the time we left, we had spent over $2,000 and genuinely did not understand how the bill added up to that amount. Our business partner, who had never been to a Michelin‑starred restaurant before, now jokes that he never wants to hear the words “Michelin star” again. We have dined at Michelin‑starred restaurants in Portugal, Italy, and New York City, and although they did not have a large aquarium, they offered excellent service, beautiful presentation, satisfying portions, and far more reasonable pricing. It is one thing to have a talented chef; it is another to overcharge so heavily on drinks and small portions that it reflects poorly on the overall experience. We had looked forward to this evening for six months, which made the disappointment even greater. If you want a unique setting and are prepared to spend a significant amount, this restaurant delivers on atmosphere, but in our view, it does not offer good value for the price.

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Ossiano is truly next level — a Michelin-star restaurant with immaculate views of a massive aquarium that creates a stunning, immersive atmosphere. We did the 10-course meal (one vegetarian and one regular), and every dish was incredible. The attention to detail was unmatched — when we got up to go to the restroom, the staff helped us out of our seats and guided us there and back. They even noticed my wife was left-handed a few minutes into dining and subtly rearranged her entire setup. Each course takes you on a journey through the Atlantic Ocean, with the chef sharing the story and inspiration behind every dish. The mocktail pairing was also spot-on — each drink matched the flavors perfectly and elevated the entire experience. We had plenty to drink that day but still wanted the full experience, and it did not disappoint. If you’re in Dubai, Ossiano is an absolute must-do. Exceptional service, mind-blowing food, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Just wow!

This is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite restaurant. The atmosphere, the service, and the cuisine—everything is exceptional. I’ve visited many Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants, but Ossiano is truly something special. The entire experience felt thoughtful, immersive, and unforgettable. A very special thanks to Mila, who welcomed us at the entrance. She is absolutely wonderful. The level of hospitality she showed us felt almost otherworldly—warm, genuine, and deeply touching. Thanks to her, we were able to create such a beautiful and happy memory. Thank you, Ossiano & Mila. It was an experience we will cherish 🤍
