36 S IMPLY ABU DHABI Serious Sophistication With a view and atmosphere to die for, you may find you quickly work up an appetite. You simply have to sample the scrumptious tapas. Generous servings of delicious Asian influenced tapas smell positively divine as they pass the tables and when it was our turn to tuck in we were pleasantly surprised. Despite being served in such a classy setting, the portions of Tapas don’t aim for pretention, but rather for fulfilled satisfaction. Blissfully content after our delightful refreshment and culinary treats, we sat back with yet another beautifully blended beverage to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and cityscape. With low ambient lighting, velvet drapes and smooth jazz tunes playing Ray’s bar sets a new level of luxury in an elegant setting of alcoves and relaxed booths where you can sit and put the world to rights. Chic glamour is achieved with apparently effortless style and the staff are keen to keep up with the sophisticated elegance created by their environment. This seriously sophisticated bar boasts grown-up class, where people gather to lap up the luxury. The ideal venue for celebrating special occasions, its DJs, private rooms, delicious cocktails, seductive tapas and incredible views add to the appeal of a welcoming bar which is set to attract many visitors in 2012. Make sure you stop by. Thank You Ray! With overtones of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, Ray’s Bar attracts an elite crowd who want to socialise in relaxed surroundings with good food and drink. This elaborately designed bar is a spectacular sensory experience and we were delighted to mix among connoisseurs and the glamorous clientele who visit Ray’s Bar to sample specially designed cocktails, an extensive wine list and an Asian influenced tapas menu. The service was flawless and it is obvious that all the staff at Ray’s Bar are passionate about what they do and eager to ensure the customer experience exceeds expectations. Following a laid back evening in a fabulously luxurious setting, this is another venue that comes highly recommended by A&J.
