The absolute first thing that you notice when you enter this place is the absolute minimal lighting....and the most nonsensical thing follows when you take your seat and peek into the menu - its printed in gray on black paper....what a bummer???? - how the hell is one supposed to read silver lines on a black paper with only a whim of candlelight for help - pheww, thats where you eject the cellphone - switch on the flashlight - and begin - however tacky it may sound or look - what with a battery of 4 nerds trying to cram the menu, it seems!! - but thats the only flipside to this tale.
Upsides are many:
The staff is attentive and mighty prompt. The drinks menu is comprehensive, so is the food menu.
1) We ordered a Godfather which was stiff (considering it was neat and left no room for the bartender's indulgence), a mojito, a martini - all well made and potent.
2) Chicken Starters are full-bodied and well done, succulent and neat portions.
3) MUST TRY: vodka infused prawn pasta!! - light cheesy white sauce, intercepted with prawns and pasta (of choice); further impregnated with a large amount of vodka, so much so that each bit makes the eater aware of the vodka infused flavour.
The place had no definitive clientèle - as in, the night-out-type ambience that it exuberates is undone by a swarm of kids (accompanying their families) playing in the pathway amongst the tables!
Safely muddled in between a lounge and a restaurant, this eatery cum watering hole provides a unique blend of both...well worth an applause i.e.
