Feb 22, 2008 - About 17 of us for a dinner party. One of the most hilarious party we
had in the recent past. Plenty of time to catch up, talk and laugh a
lot. Hadn’t been there a commercial vehicle strike beginning this mid-night, we would have stayed back longer.
Ok - now about the service at the restaurant. We had been there exactly a year ago. The differences:
1.Now
they tend to take back the water bottles after serving even though the
bottle is still not empty. They should rather leave the water bottle on
the table ..afterall, we are paying Rs 200 per water bottle.
2.
It’s a 5-star hotel ..and was surprised they dont offer fresh fruit
juices. When we asked for fruit punch, we expect them to get a mix of
fresh fruits like strawberry etc., however, we found out that they get
the tetra packs ..ummm ... that was really a blow !! and more
surprisingly, they don’t make any fresh fruit juices in this restaurant. So,
I got this guava tetra pack juice (I am sure they charged about Rs 200
for this) and it was stinking (hope it’s only a very rare thing).
Bartender was nice enough to get me a pineapple replacement though and
it was better.
- We went for dinner buffet. They will serve
plenty of masala papad, water and juices. So, this will fill 70% of
your stomach. Ofcourse, its a good strategy for those on diet ....but
if you want to big meal, stay away from masala papad.
Overall,
nice ambiance. However, quality for sure has come down with some cheap
tricks like tetra pack juices, taking away water bottles etc.,
My
previous rating was worth visiting again .... but not any more. I am
dropping this restaurant from my recommendations. Will try Dublin next
time which is also part of Windsor Manor.
