A very pleasant experience.. We went for lunch and the food was really good. Mr. Amit guided us very smoothly throughout the menu and also suggested a very good starter.. He suggested the craft beer which tasted really good. The food was very tasty and on point with the textures..
After the starter, we ordered New York Style Chicken (Sizzler). It was very tasty, although the chicken was a bit stiff. Mr. Vicky spoke with us and offered us some compensation but we didn't need that as overall everything was good.
A very good place recommended for good food with a great view of the city-scape.

Not a Roof top pub but has amazing view from 7th floor.
Drinks are awesome and also Hookah is available.
Food choices are also ample ans adequate for two persons.
Service is outstanding. Our Waiter Vicky took personal care in serving the food and drink in correct order and on perfect time.
I recommend to visit once. It's quite spacious and they have interesting decorations.

Manager - Need to brush up his guest handling skills thoroughly starting from scratch
We were told that the outlet was 3 days old when we visited in 24th Dec night to make a reservation for Xmass lunch.
We arrived on time and were the first guest at the outlet. Greetings and all other formalities went smoothly till the very first food item arrived. It was Nachos with chicken salsa which had a very long black hair embedded nicely between small chunks of chicken pieces coated with dressings and nacho chips. And that was from my 10yr old son’s plate.
So whatever aesthetic value that particular dish was holding prior the discovery of the long strand of hair, went for a toss and our mind and eyes constantly searched for foreign objects in the remaining items that were served. Even the Italian seasoning resembled grit on the basil leaves scattered on pizza. So we discarded all the leaves as we had doubts about their cleanup of leafy veggies.

The mocktails had huge ice cubes which had filled 3/4 of our glasses and little of the juice/ syrup/ cordial. Taste was just okay. Had it been happy hours or one plus one offer; we would not have minded the price. But simply paying for coloured iced water - not acceptable. ( see pix for level of ice amd size of ice cubes)

There was no sour cream ( though was mentioned in the menu) and so we had to opt for simple french fries.

The chicken ceaser salad, the tex mex chicken sizzler was good. The tantalising aroma of the sizzler was appreciated.

Clearance and layout was prompt. However, drinking water served on the second round had smell of spirits which we realised after taking a sip. We didnt drink. ( afterall it advisable not to drink water immediately after your meal ????)

Now what the manager could have done to make our experience better apart from being apologetic & sending replacement ( which took another good 15mins time and kept us waiting) was to simply waive off the haired item from the bill or to offer something complimentary ( a brownie on the house could have made the kid happy) or to generate a discount voucher for next use. He did none. May be it didnt occur to him that the guest may look for flaw in the remaining items to come when they had screwed up with the very first item with the first guest. That had ruined the fun of our xmass lunch and our peace of mind too!
