we happen to visit this place during the dasara festivities. i have been planning to visit this place for quite some time.
food- spinach, bathua and feta cheese(it was pretty yummy, thick soup and very hearty)
we also ordered the small eats. the small eats included, the brie en croute(this was wrapped in pastry, like a puff & steamed with caremelized onions and orange marmalade, prunes, very unique and yummy)
gambas pil pil (this was shrimps steeped in aromatic garlic served with grilled crusty sour dough slices, very yummy and well cooked. i felt the salt was little too much)
for main course, we had ordered their slow roasted salmon, sautéed asparagus, white wine and whole butter emulsion.. well cooked and pretty light)
the wild mushroom ragu was a gooey and thick dish. it was slow cooked oyster, shiitake and button mushrooms with fresh thyme and porcini(yummy, but very heavy)
we had also ordered for the sangria (non alcoholic, it was tender coconut water, with loads of cut fruits, orange, pomegranate, apples and basil seeds, cool and refreshing drink)
ambience- the ambience has a greek aura with white and blue decor, very mediterranean and it immediately transports you to a mediterranean country
vale for money- moderately expensive
customer service- the 3 rating is for the customer service and i will tell you what we thought is the area of opportunity. when you come to a place like this, you expect the person who is taking the order to be knowledgeable about the menu. we asked this steward about the soup type, we were little confused whether to go for the sea food soup or the spinach soup and wanted someone to guide us. displayed very poor knowledge. it is more like just an order taker.
nobody smiles in this place, except for the receptionist! the person who took the order and someone who served the food were absolutely grumpy, yes you heard that right! grumpy! when you come to one of the romantic places(well that’s what you seem to claim, you don’t want to see people super sad, gloomy etc!)
i also observed that there were candles lit for a large group, however, there was no candle were we were seated. i had to ask the person to light the candle, he didn’t look very proactive nor happy to do the same.
pls improve the user experience!
