“We’ve created a new and exciting dining concept for 55&5thThe Grill, our flagship restaurant, in which the entertainment is as important as the culinary offerings.

"With our recently appointed resident band, Jade Trio Band and chef de cuisine, Manuel Olveira, we look forward to creating an engaging dining experience for our guests and set a newstandard for fine dining in the UAE’s capital,” said St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi hotel manager Marwan Fadel.

The new menu offerings are created by Olveira, who joined the property in March.
