The steak with penny bun was cooked just right&mdash;tender inside, nice crust. Sitting under that red carpet ceiling felt pretty special too. Service stayed attentive but not pushy.

The food was solid, but honestly the seating area is what stood out to me. Comfy chairs, nice lighting, not too loud. Could stay there for a while without feeling rushed.

Went for lunch and grabbed their couscous with lamb &mdash; the sauce was rich, not too salty, and the meat just fell off the bone. Place was calm, easy to chat without shouting. Prices fair for the portion. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The Rockfort burger was solid, good flavor and cooked right. Prices are a bit steep for the size though. BBQ one&#39;s decent too if you&#39;re into that.

Steak was solid again, same quality as last time. Place gets busy but the staff still remembers regulars. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The dinner buffet had a good spread, everything looked fresh and nicely laid out. Staff kept refilling the trays fast, which I appreciated. Dining room stayed clean the whole time too. Only thing is it can get a bit busy around 8pm, but that&rsquo;s expected. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want variety without the fuss.

Service was quick and friendly, IBTISSEM handled everything well. Food was decent, nothing special but fine for a fast lunch. Got in and out in under 20 minutes.

The fish soup was solid, really fresh. Shrimp bourek came out crispy, not greasy at all. Place was spotless too, which honestly surprised me for the price range. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Food was solid and portions were decent for the price. Service lagged a bit but nothing terrible. I&#39;d come back for the food alone.

Service was on point &mdash; friendly without hovering. The waiter actually checked in at the right moments, not too pushy. Made the whole thing feel easy. Food did its job too, but honestly the service carried it. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a chill meal.

The butter chicken was decent but a bit too tomato-heavy for me. Portion size felt small for what you pay. Nice Indian vibe inside though.

Came for dinner and the lighting really sets the mood&mdash;soft, warm, not too bright. Got the lamb tagine and it was tender, the kind that falls apart with just a fork. Service was polite but a little slow between courses. Still, I left full and happy. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

We came for dinner and the staff was really welcoming from the start. Our server checked on us just the right amount, not too pushy. The food was good, we had the couscous and it was plenty for two. Only small thing, the music was a bit loud for my liking, but the table was comfortable and we didn&#39;t feel rushed. Would come back if we&#39;re in the area again.

The terrace is lovely, sunlight through the palms and all. Food was fresh, servers friendly. Just wish they&rsquo;d check on you a bit more often.

The fish soup starter hit hard, really rich flavor. Then the grilled fish, fresh, cooked just right. Solid spot. Just ask the price per kilo before you pick your fish, that caught me off guard a bit. Still, good value for what you get.

The hotel itself is impressive and well-organized. The food lived up to the five-star standard.

The crepes here are really good, and the ice cream too. But evenings get so crowded and loud, I could barely hear my friend. Had to wait a bit for a seat. Quality makes up for it though. Just come early if you want a chill spot.
