The ambience is nice and the menu looked good so we ordered quite a bit of stuff and found that the quality of food doesn't match the price you have to pay. Heck! It can't even match the roadside quality. We ordered a pear and walnut salad that had pears looking like they were years old -- when you can buy fresh pears in India why would you get some god awful looking fruit. I wanted to replace the blue cheese with some real parmesan cheese -- they got the sawdust variety! C'mon if you are charging high prices use real ingredients. The salad looked so sorry that we just left it. The pizza that came out looked like some Chappatti had been smothered with their version of pizza sauce (bad) and baked with a little bit of tomatoes and cheese. I love gourmet pizzas and usually look down on Pizza hut & Domino's types but even those would have looked good in comparison. The bruschetta they brought out had no olive oil at all and tasted really bad. The only things that were edible were french fries and a cake (that they probably outsourced). When I demanded to talk to their chef or manager, they were coward enough to not come out and address our concerns. Finally they brought out a complaint book -- oh my! so many people have written bad things about their food that I wished we had asked for it earlier in order to avoid spending a princely sum and come back hungry. It is pretty clear that they do not act on the suggestions left by customers.
Well, I thought I could forget it like it was a bad dream but no, more was to follow. I had had maybe 2 leaves of lettuce to taste the salad before we gave up on it -- that came to haunt me with a stomach infection. They can't even wash their greens properly. I think I would trust a small sarvana bhawan like place more than this one. This is a place for only hanging out if you can somehow not eat.
