What to Eat at Nineteen How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Nineteen, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Status. Check whether the venue has reopened before making plans; the latest supplied review reported a permanent closure.
Clarify Offers. If using Entertainer, confirm the package terms: one review found the 2-for-1 offer applied only with the soft drinks package.
Choose Terrace. For a quieter outdoor meal, reviewers specifically enjoyed the terrace, particularly during winter.
Check Menu. Ask what is currently available before ordering, since a review reported that most desired items were unavailable.

The Bottom Line
Nineteen was a Mediterranean restaurant at Address Montgomerie in Emirates Hills, with a terrace and balcony overlooking the golf course. Historically, customers came for relaxed lunches, family dinners, Friday and Saturday brunches, and occasion meals. Named dishes that drew praise included Steak Florentina, the 48-hour slow-cooked Beef Rib, lambshank, beef tagliata and cheese fondue.
The setting was one of its clearest strengths. Reviews describe a peaceful balcony, attractive renovated interiors and a family-friendly atmosphere. One lunch party with a baby said the team was accommodating, while another reviewer appreciated freshly baked bread and a chef checking the table.
A three-course lunch menu was reported as 120 AED, and a Friday brunch was described as good value, though those are historical prices rather than a current offer. Quality was inconsistent, particularly at brunch. Complaints included cold vegetables, extremely rare beef, hard desserts, slow service and unavailable menu items.
Another dinner party of four said they left hungry after paying 970 AED, with a notably small seabass fillet. Most importantly, the latest supplied review, dated June 2023, says the restaurant had closed permanently. Treat the positive details as historical context and verify the venue’s current status before relying on any older recommendation.
