Ai

Today was my first time trying brunch at Ai, and it was a great experience! We originally reserved for 6 people but ended up being 8. The staff were so friendly and accommodating they helped us add two chairs to our round table without any issues. The food was amazing, especially the sushi. You can tell the fish is high quality and the rice was perfect. The hot section also had a great variety of proteins and veggies, from beef and salmon to asparagus and mushrooms. For dessert, the crème brûlée was my personal favorite! Given the beautiful design, the live band, and the food quality, the price is excellent. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

The restaurant is amazing. The food was excellent, it is a mix of Chinese and Japanese food. Make sure to book a table at least 4 days prior to your visit especially when it is on the weekend. If you’re two you will be seated at the bar which disappointed me at the first place but then I realized that the bar was very comfortable and very close to the barman so you can order faster your drinks. The food was pricey, we paid about 180$ for two drinks included. The only bad part was the fact that it was very cold in the restaurant (we were in August).

I would say I have some mixed feelings. The place is very nice, the music was good, the service was amazing. As for the food...it is on the steep side... so you would expect an exceptional experience... which I didn't. The portions are not very big, the crab salad was average, the dim sum were mediocre, the shrimp tempura was good with a tasty wasabi dip, the spicy salmon roll was disappointing, the sauteed mushrooms were the best dish we had...exceptional, and the wagyu steak was very good. So overwhole you have to know what to choose.

A great place in the heart of downtown Beirut. A little hard to spot if you do not know where it is but worth a search. They have a brunch on Sundays, when we went and also alacarte during the week. The food was very good as was the service. The band was spectacular and created a great atmosphere. Very good all around. A little pricy but worth the trouble.

This place is one of the most amazing designs made for a restaurant. The food is amazing very tasty, well served. The only thing that ruined my evening that smoking is permitted indoor. Me and my friends had to cut short the dining and leave because of that. Didn't have the chance to try the desert. This place is very expensive.
