TEN 11 Beach (Saadiyat Island) benefits from a waterfront or coastal backdrop in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, which gives the meal a clearer sense of occasion before the food arrives. Readers should look for the kitchen's clarity, hospitality and consistency, because that is where a restaurant of this type earns its reputation. It is most compelling for diners seeking a scenic meal where place is part of the appeal, especially if the night calls for something more considered than a safe default.
