Inconsistent Jun 28, 2011
Copper Chimney Gopalapuram | 28 reviews
Let me start off by saying I am not really a big fan of chain restaurants; however, in certain cases I make exceptions. I adore the Copper Chimney restaurant at Phoneix Mills Mumbai, I tolerate the one at Chennai. Change that to used to tolerate.
Considering the prices charged, you would be forgiven for expecting stellar service and spectacular food. The food was good the first time we entered, the service very very forgettable. You almost want to run a crash course in basic courtesy right there for the staff; things like a smile and a thank you as well as a soft touch while placing cutlery... read more -

Best Service in Town Jun 28, 2011
High Time T.Nagar | 6 reviews
High Time surprised me when I went there for lunch; met a girl friend for a glass of wine and some food. We were met with a smile and that smile actually looked genuine. The alcohol menu was extensive (though understandably the wine list not so much compared to what one would see in the Leather Bar and other expensive joints) and the wine selection was alright.
Though a Monday afternoon, the place had quite a crowd and that speaks of quality.
The starter menu was around adequate, but they compensate for that by offering to get in the food from Copper Point. The place may look small, but... read more -

Not my favourite Jun 27, 2011
Dublin Alwarpet | 10 reviews
I always heard good things about Dublin and I have to admit my crib is not against their drinks (not the worst in town, not the best either) or their prices, I mean we know this place is supposed to be pricy considering the hotel they are in! They have some of the best crowd here too.
What is awkward is their music and service - their bouncers first refused entry to a guy friend because he was using his crutches to walk around (pardon us sir, but we have dress code)! No, really! No crutches allowed even if he is obviously not going to be on the dance floor.
The minute we start remonstrati... read more -

Miss It Jun 27, 2011
Havana Alwarpet | 6 reviews
It is a hyped destination and you wonder who is spreading the hype because there just is not enough of a crowd in here unless it is a Saturday night.
The staff are boorish and snobbish; the prices are atrocious when you consider the quality of their drinks and the food is passable to put it quite politely.
The dance floor is all yours if you go any night other than a Saturday night, but the music is so bad you anyway do not want to dance.
Let's see - Poor service, High prices, Poor drinks, Bad music - not exactly a winning combination, is it? -

Copper Point T.Nagar | 12 reviews
I just love this place; where else can you get really good food and wine for lunch?
I have been here a total of three times (wallet doesn't allow us to go too often) and each time have ordered the sepankazhangu varuval, mor kuzhambu and rice and a bottle of their Chablis (their wine collection is divine).
I must also say I am very impressed by their service standards, the first two times I went there with a friend for lunch and we had the Chablis, the third time saw their manager come up to me with a bottle of Chablis and a query as to whether I wanted my favourite drink.
A definite... read more -
