With as many courses as we enjoyed, there was bound to be one that I thought didn’t work, or, in this case, interrupted the flow of the meal.  For example, my dining partner was not a fan of the bread, cheese, and charcuterie course, while I absolutely loved it. I thought it added a personal touch of homestyle German (and was also delicious).  Of course, everyone has their own opinion.  I personally thought the Saltmeadow lamb from Piet van den Berg<\/em> was a strange fit into a very well-paced meal (yes, unlike most Dubai venues who want to run guests through the service, S\u00fchring was absolutely on the mark for pacing and delivery).  At this point in the service, there was no need for another protein (the main courses of steak and duck more than accomplished this) and thus would edit the plate completely from the menu (lovely as it looks).<\/p>\n
