If I can describe the value proposition for the place that no other place offers, it's the endless view into the Juhu Beach sea and on a windly day, the weather get's quite like a cruise.
2 things I'll advise people going there is firstly to check out if anyone has booked for a private party because then you get sidelined by the enormous guests who are making merry on free-bies, not a bad thing, but can avoid
Secondly do not sit inside, coz then it's like a normal boring resturant, in fact we changed places thrice and finally sat outside. The italian food esc the pastas is quite nice but the drinks are a little expensive. I would say a per head expense with a couple of drinks would be about 1.5-2k.Have also heard it's an awesome place for morning breakfast buffets on Sundays, but I am not the kinds to go at that hour!!

I have been to Vie now twice in three weeks and each time as a stag, thank god for the guestlists!!
Anyways, both times I entered, I headed straight to the dance floor cause that is exactly what I was there for. I really liked the place for one thing: its right there overlooking Juhu Beach. The feeling that surrounds you while you stare at the pitch black ocean from the comfort of your seat cannot be compared. It is by far one of the best places to take a date or just hangout with your friends, I must say.
Just had a couple of drinks while I was there, Jack Daniels being my preferred poison. A small dance floor but that is acceptable if you look at the larger scheme of things. People wouldn't come here to just shake their booties but to sit, eat, relax, chill, de-stress and maybe then shake a leg or two.
Overall, not a bad place to chillout but then i rather go to a disc or a lounge not a place that wants to be both.

well.......recently visited vie lounge and deck for their sunday brunches....i must sy i was one of those people to walk into their place when they first started their brunches and what you see today is a big change.......i mean the spread is vast...they got alot to choose from(esp. for the veggie lovers)
i think it is resonabel and a very clear concept .
the ambience as usual looks even better for their sunday brunch with their cute umberellas and live counters overlooking the beach front.The sunday brunch i must say is like one occasion where you can come to the beach and have a treat while you over look the sea.........its like goa but in our very own mumbai!!!!!!!
vie stay the same ......ur all good

There are dogs, and then there are underdogs. Contrary to popular belief, some underdogs may never take off; irony of the fact being that the underdog by reference herein has nothing that should work to its disadvantage, yet it attracts this descriptive term for some inadequacy that cannot be pinpointed or traced to perfection.
Kudos to vie, firstly for the spectacular ambience overlooking the Juhu beach (cannot get better than this in the suburbs). A protruding platform out of the deck with glass walls with a small high-rise table and stools is clearly a winner sitting area. The praise buck abruptly stops here though.
They are by their own self admission muddled between ‘a lounge’ and ‘promoting the place as a swanky night club’. Their effort to achieve this transformation is by way of charging cover on Saturdays (haha....with no predefined terms or rates i.e. initially we were told Rs. 1500 per couple...which somehow escalated to Rs. 30000/- for a table on the deck....hiccupps galore).
Anyways, with prior reservations (not to mention the goof-up here), we were seated close to the railing overlooking the beach at high-tide on a Friday night. Drinks were ordered and promptly served (Whiskey sours with Angostura Bitters, lime juice and syrup – personal favourite, although was not potent – Rs. 350, juices and mocktails – Rs. 95-/- to Rs. 200/-).
Decently portioned starters included chicken satay (Rs. 250/- and a little blandish,), tequila tiger prawns (Rs. 800/-, 4 pieces, had a good cheesy and tangy sauce showered on it), mushrooms stuffed with cheese (Rs. 175/- for 6 numbers), and el mezzeh (hummus with mouttabal and khubus for Rs. 190/-). Served well before the stomachs started to rumble.
White garlic chicken (breasts of chicken with mashed potatoes), veg cannelloni, chicken stroganoff (in a red sauce!), escalopes of chicken breast served in a saffrony tangy sauce, crusted pieces of pomfret – each priced at Rs. 350/- went down well with all of us.
A sneak preview of the enclosed lounge showcased a bunch of stags swinging hips, bellies et al to bollywood numbers - lest we dared to enter!
In essence,
- just a casual place to catch up and drink - yes, most definitely yes;
- to 'especially' reserve in want of an 'exclusive' night out - not the way it should conjure up to be.
