Reviews Summary

Dinings offers a prestigious dining experience with a stunning rooftop view and innovative Japanese fusion cuisine, particularly praised for its fresh fish and sushi. However, some diners find the portions small, prices exorbitant, and have experienced experimental dishes that missed the mark, alongside issues with service pacing and a less-than-authentic Japanese flavor profile.

"(Translated by Google) A special and fun atmosphere on the roof of the prestigious Norman hotel, a special restaurant, mainly fish, delicious dishes and the fish feels very fresh. Some dishes are not the best, it's better to just go for the fish.
The matcha fondant was rare.
A very prestigious restaurant and the prices accordingly, to celebrate a special event this is the perfect place, because everything feels of a high standard, including the design, the sushi chef standing in his open kitchen.

(Original)
אווירה מיוחדת וכיפית בגג של המלון היוקרתי נורמן, מסעדה מיוחדת, בעיקר דגים, מנות טעימות והדגים מרגישים מאוד טריים. יש מנות לא הכי מוצלחות, עדיף פשוט ללכת רק על הדגים.
הפונדנט מאצ׳ה היה נדיר.
מסעדה מאוד יוקרתית והמחירים בהתאם, לחגוג אירוע מיוחד זה המקום המושלם, כי הכל מרגיש ברמה גבוהה, כולל העיצוב, הסושי שף שעומד במטבחו הפתוח."

"(Translated by Google) It's very difficult to destroy Japanese food that I like very much, including fusion, but that's how it is when you try to be too clever like at the Dinings restaurant in the Norman hotel in Tel Aviv, so the result is devastating.
They even managed to destroy the espresso, if you feel like getting your fingers dirty, then the cup is decorated with salt and cardamom thrown on the outside of the cup, so that the humidity outside is not enough, so the cup is also sticky, and the taste with rosetta, you get three drinks in one cup, coffee with cardamom, tequila and rosetta...!
The menu is in English and when my sister asked what it was: gem lettuce, the waitress hesitated to answer so I simply answered instead: lettuce.
She was shocked that I define the gem lettuce as lettuce, as our favorite lettuce.. they managed to destroy that too, it arrived burnt and wet.. what happened to less is more..?
The truth is, they pretty much embrace this philosophy,
There is a nigiri with a poor little color band for NIS 18.
Here I blame us, why give a platform to a chef who wouldn't eat something like this in his own home?!
The two sushi rolls are probably so special that we waited a long time, two hours to be exact.
A vegetarian one for me. Then something happened that has never happened to me, I returned the
The sushi because enough is enough, there are things that even our good vibe and the beautiful view won't help.
As with the espresso, all the flavors were in a poor little roll: sour, salty, sweet and even spicy!!!!
My daughter couldn't hold back and tried to eat the sushi with the tempura shrimp that came with brown and crumbly rice.. In the end she gave up and ate the shrimp from the sushi and paid for it with an upset stomach.
This is not a review for the sake of the review. For a week I tried to reach someone to talk to, but no one bothered to get back to me, this is my first time writing on Trip Adviser
And not the first time I eat at Dinings
But definitely the last one!!!
I woke up in the morning with a feeling of what it was last night..? I was robbed?
And by the way we got the attention of the waitress
(Not the one with the lettuce..) that she forgot to add the service, and we added it, and really, except that I returned the sushi, they didn't feel what we were going through..

קשה מאוד להרוס אוכל יפני שאהוב עליי מאוד, גם פיוז׳ן, אבל ככה זה כשמנסים להתחכם יותר מידי כמו במסעדת Dinings במלון נורמן התל אביבי, אז התוצאה הרסנית.
אפילו את האספרסו הם הצליחו להרוס, אם בא לכם ללכלך את האצבעות אז הכוס מעוטרת במלח והל שזרקו על הכוס מבחוץ, כך שלא מספיקה הלחות בחוץ אז גם הכוס דביקה, והטעם עם רוזטה, מקבלים שלוש משקאות בכוס אחת, קפה עם הל, טקילה ורוזטה..!
התפריט באנגלית וכשאחותי שאלה מה זה : gem lettuce, המלצרית התמהמה בתשובה אז עניתי במקומה בפשטות: חסה.
היא הזדעזעה שאני מגדירה את ה-gem lettuce כחסה , כחסה האהובה עלינו.. גם את זה הם הצליחו להרוס, הגיעה צרובה ורטובה.. מה קרה עם less is more..?
האמת היא שהם דיי מאמצים את הפילוסופיה הזו,
יש נגירי עם רצועת קולורבי קטנה ומסכנה ב-18 שקל.
פה אני מאשימה אותנו , למה לתת במה לשף שלא היה אוכל דבר כזה בבית שלו?!
שני הרולים של הסושי כנראה כ״כ מיוחדים שחיכינו הרבה זמן, שעתיים למען הדיוק.
אחד צמחוני בשבילי שפה קרה משהו שאף פעם לא קרה לי, החזרתי את
הסושי כי enough is enough, יש דברים שגם הוויב הטוב שלנו והנוף היפה לא יעזרו.
כמו עם האספרסו כל הטעמים היו בתוך רול קטן ומסכן: חמוץ, מלוח מתוק ואפילו חריף!!!!
הבת שלי לא התאפקה וניסתה לאכול את הסושי עם השרימפס טמפורה שהגיע עם אורז חום ומתפורר.. בסוף התייאשה ושלתה את השרימפס מהסושי ושילמה על כך בקילקול קיבה.
זו לא ביקורת למען הביקורת במשך שבוע ניסיתי להגיע למישהו לדבר איתו, אבל אף אחד לא טרח לחזור אליי, לי זו הפעם הראשונה שאני כותבת ב-Trip adviser
ולא הפעם הראשונה שאני אוכלת ב- Dinings
אבל בהחלט האחרונה !!!
קמתי בבוקר עם תחושה של מה זה היה אתמול בלילה..? נשדדתי?
ודרך אגב הערנו את תשומת ליבה של המלצרית
( לא אותה אחת עם החסה..) שהיא שכחה להוסיף את השירות, והוספנו, ובאמת שלמעט שהחזרתי את הסושי הם לא הרגישו במה שעובר עלינו.."

"(Translated by Google) First time we were in a restaurant.
The waiter was in my opinion one who understands interest
And I simply allowed myself to give him the permission and order 5 dishes for us.
The white wine he chose for us was perfect.
The dishes are served meticulously,
Everything is aesthetic, clean, feels foreign.
The menu is written only in English.
We ordered another dish of excellent sushi.
The person in charge of the ration bar, a top professional!
Dessert: sesame brulee.
Perfect place and we will come back again.
Thank you ❤️

פעם ראשונה שהיינו במסעדה.
המלצר היה בעיני אחד שמבין עניין
ופשוט הרשתי לעצמי להעביר לו את הרשות ולהזמין עבורנו 5 מנות.
היין הלבן שבחר עבורנו היה מושלם.
המנות מוגשות באופן מוקפד,
הכל אסתטי, נקי, מרגיש חו"ל.
התפריט כתוב רק באנגלית.
הזמנו עוד מנה של סושי מצוינת.
האחראי על הפס מנות, מקצוען ברמות!
קינוח: ברולה שומשום.
מקום מושלם ונחזור שוב.
תודה ❤️"

Four years ago and coming straight from London, Dinings opened at the Norman Hotel with superior ingredients, a super-premium sake menu and a host of dishes oozing innovation and creativity. While the beginning was somewhat hesitant, with a recent change of chefs it seems that the restaurant has gotten its bearings, and is now producing small and expensive, stellar delicacies. Indeed, it has been ranked as the second-best restaurant in Israel by the prestigious Gault-Millau restaurant guide.

TLV Culinary Trip #2

This top Asian restaurant is located on the roof of “the Norman” hotel and it’s one og my favorite restaurants in the world. Great cocktails, Genius dishes, well made and served, and the atmosphere is absolutely lovely. I love it so much, that I can’t even recommend dishes from the menu, since every dish that you won’t try will be a small tragedy.
