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.

Went down there on Saturday night. Cool place, it looked good and had a great atmosphere. Surprisingly uncrowded for a Saturday night but maybe January is still off-season for socialising? Perhaps not a place for a romantic tete-à-tete since the take off flight path from the airport is directly overhead...but the food was great, and more than made up for the somewhat erratic drinks service we got initially. And did I mention the rather drinkable mohitos...

I have been to Vie Lounge about half a dozen times. At the most visible level, the outdoor deck overlooking the beachfront is clearly the calling card of Vie. The scotch is over priced and there is not much choice if u like to choose from more than 1 scotch on the bar menu. I typically stay away from wine at restaurants unless I can order by the bottle, since most places serve from the same open bottle for days and that makes the wine go flat. Restaurants do that in the hope that most people will not notice and it seems that they are probably right judging by how prevalant this practice is.
Food is good but then again you would expect that quality for the price you are paying.
All in all an enjoyable place if u dont mind buring a hole in your pocket for the luxury of sipping your drinks overlooking the garbage and eunuchs on Juhu beach.
