Location, location, location
I honestly couldn't believe I hadn't reviewed this place. Having been several times in varying guises; dinner for two with a special someone, half a dozen friends for an informal meal and a big work night out.
Without the location the Salt Water Grill wouldn't last a week. The food is good, but not good enough for the competition that it has in Mumbai, but throw in lapping waves, a salty tang in the air, sand underfoot and sprinkling of palm trees and you have a little oasis amongst the mayhem.
I have never had a truely great starter at SWG but the carpaccio is not bad and the pate with melba toast is crisp and tasty. In the main courses the risotto is king here. The tomato and marscapone rich and thick, the roast garlic with squid had a real depth of flavour, even the beef and mushroom - which should be all wrong, manages to impress. The steaks I hear are not bad too!
If you have room for desert the flourless torte is one of the best I have ever had.
Regarding the loss of the liquor licence - I think we should all have a minutes silent prayer to get this back. It was the one of the few places you could get a decent martini in Mumbai. However needs a backhander to get this done, please make yourself known.
