What to Eat at The 305 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 The 305, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of The 305, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Bottomless lunch Net −1
“Booked the ‘Bottomless Lunch’ as it was advertised as all you can eat and drink. Arrived and could only order one small plate. Realised this after ordering and asked if we could just pay for the 2 small plates we had instead of £120 for the full package. They said no. So paid the full amount for 2 small plates - which were on the main menu for around £20. Pointed this out to the waitress who went to speak to her manager, only for her to come back and still say no. Terrible customer service and the food we did have was poor”

Fruit platter Net −1
“But the biggest disappointment was the fruit platter. For AED 85, we got a few slices of watermelon, melon, half a passion fruit, a few strawberries, and some blueberries — way overpriced, and worse, the quality was very poor. The melon tasted off, the blueberries were old, and the watermelon had a stale fridge flavor. Honestly, it made me feel sick.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Book Ahead. Reserve loungers or a cabana before travelling, as the club can fill up with paying guests and hotel guests.
Confirm Availability. If you plan to walk in for a sun lounger, confirm availability again before setting off; one phone confirmation was inaccurate.
Choose Weekdays. A weekday can be calmer and may offer better redeemability terms; one weekday cabana was fully redeemable, unlike that review’s weekend arrangement.
Check Parking. Ask about parking costs and validation before arriving: one review reported three hours free when the vehicle plate was registered.
Check Pool Rules. Families should confirm access rules first, as children accompanied by parents were reportedly not allowed in the swimming pool.
Pick Seating. Ask where the music will come from before settling in if you want a quiet beach day, since neighbouring venues can create overlapping playlists.

The Bottom Line
The 305 is a beach-club restaurant and bar in Jumeirah where you can book a day bed or cabana, use the pool, spend time on the beach and order food and cocktails. Its pastel pink-and-blue Miami styling is a major draw, while reviews also praise the relaxed Monday atmosphere and adults-only pool setting. Food is broad enough for a full day: breakfast includes a croissant, smoked salmon bagel and French toast; pizza, sushi and brunch are also mentioned, along with cocktails and white sangria.
The short rib empanadas, curly fries and Lady in Red cocktail received particularly enthusiastic feedback. Quality is not completely consistent, though: tacos, some sushi and an AED 85 fruit platter were criticised. Budget carefully.
Cabana or sunbed charges may be redeemable against food and drinks, but terms vary: one review reported a weekday cabana fully redeemable and only 50% redeemable at weekends. Food and drinks were considered expensive by some guests, and valet parking may cost extra. Book ahead rather than relying on a walk-in phone confirmation.
Also check your seating if music matters, as nearby venues can overlap, and families should confirm the pool rules before visiting.
