Tasca by Jose Avillez

Food, very fresh and tasty. Starter we had the clam which is so fresh and tasty. The main we took grilled octopus and wagyu which are also recommended. Vibe , nice city view plus sea view , chill music . Service , very good , Marco did great job to serve the table. We celebrated the birthday here and have lovely memory. Will definitely come back to try other cuisine , want to try their seafood risotto next time , and the different starters. I did went back there to try their signature seafood rice, the food is very fresh but I don’t like the tomato base (which I had asked before ordering and get a no tomato base answer), and it’s too salty also.

I had an amazing experience at Tasca. Everything was perfect, we enjoyed every dish we had and the cocktails were delicious and unique. Our experience wouldn’t be as great without Frieda who made sure we had an unforgettable dinner. Thank you!

Fantastic food and service! We had the tempura cod cake, Seabass & Maracuja de Madeira, Bulhao Pato clams, Jasper roasted lamb shank, Atlantic wild sea bass & asparagus, Bitoque LX DXB and the highlight of the night, Algarve Seafood Cataplana. Dessert was off the charts too! We had the Rosa Pavlova, Chocolate and Olive Oil Cake, Tasca Cheesecake and my personal favourite, pastel de nata. Can't wait to back! P.S. Cocktails and mocktails were yummy too

I must preface this review by stating that I have a deep respect for the hospitality industry, having worked in it during my college years. Furthermore, I have always held The Mandarin Oriental in high regard, which makes my recent experience at Tasca even more disappointing. Our visit started off rather pleasantly. We were a table of four, and while the dining experience did not meet Michelin standards, it was satisfactory. We spent over 5,000 AED, a testament to our commitment to a full evening at the establishment. Being well-versed in the challenges of service industry work, we always make a point to be courteous and patient with the staff throughout any stay. However, the evening took a regrettable turn when a staff member from behind the bar requested that we lower our voices. This was an astounding request, especially considering that club-level music was playing at a high volume throughout the venue. None of us were inebriated or using inappropriate language; we were merely engaged in lively conversation and enjoying ourselves. It was extremely embarrassing! I really didn't know how to react! The incident was entirely unprovoked and not only marred our evening but also shattered my previous perceptions of The Mandarin Oriental brand. As a result, I feel compelled to say that I will not be returning to Tasca or any Mandarin Oriental establishment. Moreover, I will advise my friends and clients to consider other options for their dining and hospitality needs. It's disheartening to write such a review for a brand I once respected. I sincerely hope that this feedback will be taken as an opportunity for improvement.

I have to say Stefani has gone above and beyond our expectations and made us feel extremely valued as guests and have understood our needs and provided the most caring and excellent responsive service with a beautiful smile and amazing enthusiasm.. the food was delicious and mouth watering, the clarified new York sour cocktail is a must. the manager approached multiple time in a very professional manner to check on us which we really appreciated , we felt the true Dubai and mandarin hospitality!! Shout out to the super star of the restaurant Stefani ❤️ thank you for the amazing experience and we will definitely come back again soon!
