Dinner is over at 8pm, but you can order enough drinks to last until they close. You just can't order anymore after 8pm. So you can just get 3 extra glasses of wine or 3 glasses with shots of liquor and some ice/soda on the side or whatever and stay until they close if you wish. There's no lunch, only afternoon tea/coffee and cookies. But the lounge is open all day regardless what time the meals are served.
Personally, I stopped eating breakfast there because I would eat too much and couldn't enjoy dinner. I don't see how you would be hungry for lunch after eating all you can eat breakfast. I know I wasn't. I seldom ate anything else outside of the free meals except some chips or yogurt for snacks sometimes that I purchased from that onsite store.
That's music to my ears! It sounds like Dubai is sort of similar to the Greater China Region, where elite recognition is quite good. The breakfast can be insane, and after loading up on that, I do skip lunch and just go to the lounge for dinner.
