Average Italian Food - Bad Service
Just had dinner at the Mezzo Mezzo yesterday..
The waiter hard-sold us the set menu making it out to be the most exotic menu on earth!
Bad part - nothing about the set menu was in writing - which is pretty un-professional considering that this is a Marriott chain restaurant..
They proclaim that the set menu - priced between Rs. 2500/- to 3500/- per head would have a variety of starters, soup, main course & dessert.
But it was nothing of that kind. We began with a cold salmon starter, moved on to a chicken soup and then waited endlessly for the other items..
The wait time was nearly 45 minutes between the soup and the starters..
The starter consisted of 1 mushroom pizza (thin-crust), a cheese based pasta, followed by another variety of pasta on a bed of mince meat...This was followed up with a piece of sea bass on a bed of lentils..
Although the sea bass was grilled perfectly, the lentils were undercooked..
The dessert was a bowl of tiramisu (have tasted better tiramusu elsewhere).
Initially when we walked in the welcome and service was incredible, but when we started ordering and the restaurant filled up, it deteriorated..
Funny thing, they have an Evian bottle placed on every table..Only when we asked for mineral water - was Himalayan produced...
This place is frequented by foreigners & expats - and was pretty packed till quite late in the night...
Excellent and comfortable seating - but too many tables reserved for smokers - and the smoke from these tables tend to intrude on the non-smoking section too..
All in all, an expensive dinner - not worth the cost!
