When I’m not reviewing food, I’m often writing — usually novels — but also about hotels (and very rarely, novels about hotels). In this instance, I was out at Zaya Nurai Island for some freelance coverage and was invited to dine at the newly opened Hooked with my host. With such a lovely setting, how could I refuse? Located directly up the arrival dock is Hooked, a Mediterranean restaurant with an Arabic twist (‘coastal influences of the Levant’ as per the website). The venue is a unique spot in Abu Dhabi (as are most of the restaurants on the island, because how often are you going to dine on a private resort island?). With a smaller interior and an expansive chicly designed exterior, this is an ideal place to enjoy a meal al fresco. With a collection of fresh fish, a full bar, and a variety of appetizers, Hooked was a perfect place…
