I don't understand why Abha is posting about this restaurant, it is not in Dubai.

You know, when Eiffel was building his tower most French people decried this as an example of "male testosterone gone crazy"....just like the tall buildings of Dubai today.
From Wiki: "The tower was met with resistance from the public when it was built, with many calling it an eyesore. (Novelist Guy de Maupassant — who claimed to hate the tower — supposedly ate lunch at the Tower's restaurant every day. When asked why, he answered that it was the one place in Paris where you couldn't see the Tower.) Today, it is widely considered to be a striking piece of structural art."

I guess it just goes to show you how short-sighted people can be.
