Not really Vietnamese - and pricey
I went to this place courtesy of a well known multinational whose products you are probably using to read this, unfortunately. Anyway, the ambiance is very nice - and even though it is open air there are no mosquitoes - the've probably been priced out.
Service is a bit pushy - we were a large group and they essentially forced us to take the Prie Fixe menu - which was around 2500 per person, even though not all of us were that keen on it.
The most disappointing thing was most of the food was not really Vietnamese. The salad was good - but Thai, and the rest was mediocre Chinese.
The price is also quite ridiculous. For the meal, it was roughly Rs 4000 per head which included a little bit,but not too much, wine.
Which is about $100 - for which one can have a really excellent meal in many Michelin three star restaurants.
Its a nice place - but go there only when someone else is paying.
This is representative of a larger problem which exists in Bangalore - places are in short supply and so a nice place can charge the earth and get away with it without really giving one ones moneys worth.
Maybe in a few years things will improve.
