take the lift to 5th floor, and you go...."where is the restaurant"?
OR where is the bar or pub? etc. etc., depending on why you going there in the first place.
It is not shocking because there is no door, or a board or the fact that when you walk out of the lift, you are directly in the restaurant. It's annoying because it reminded me of my friends Basement (i know Cirrus on the terrace, but understand maadi please).
The only word I can think of for the flooring is polished cement! It seemed like the original floor the constructor left, before any "flooring" was put on it! Of course, if you know how cement floors are, you would know this is too smooth to be cement, so I guess they must have polished it (not as funny as i thought it would be, but it's true). It definitely hadn't been cleaned, reminds me of a basement, full of dust, cigarette butts, liquids....
Another annoying thing, it sounds like a disco, loud thumping music (no issues yet), but turns out, it was play that annoying sh*t night, because they played the worst of 80s trash music that night, including Bryan Adams. The only thing worse than Bryan Adams, is loud Bryan Adams (sorry for personal opinion here, but i really dislike Bryan Adams)
Alright, it's only the floor and only the music, who cares, lets go meet my friends. Oh nice they got the outdoor seating. Brief round of hugs and all the other stuff, time to sit, let me sit on the side with the wall, I'll have a back rest.... hey, I know I am heavy, but why is the granite slab, on top of a cement block moving! Oh wait, hold on, my bad, it must be the total 250 kilos on it, after all there were 3 whole people sitting on a 4 seater.
Lets order some drinks..... Menu -> whisky, nice cheap, vodka, pretty cheap, beer... sorry boys, this is where they make their margins. You will drink beer, and you will pay for it, so they will charge you extra! Lots of places do this, and I hate it each time.
No complaints about the service, the beer came on time, cheers, lets drink. It's LOUD, so I decide to lean forward and talk to my friend on the other side, whoa! why is the granite slab, on top of the cement block moving??? No, I am talking about the table top! I have no issues seeing this happen at a kaka hotel or at some place like Suri bar, they serve cheap drinks, and have cheap tables. I am paying a lot for this beer, and I expect good..... tables!?! Is that something to hope for?
As for the crowd, nothing against anyone, but everyone seems to know everyone else, and hence it feels like a huge party (as some one else who reviewed the place said rightly), only, if you don't know them, you feel like you gate crashed some ones party! This is how it is every night, so a regular told me. Sorry for including, what another person told me in this review, but I thought I should mention it.
Several other annoyances, but I guess I shouldn't be so negative, after all it is only some ones basement, which is on the terrace by mistake. Sorry If I sound too negative, but I did walk out in 40minutes, and I did say to myself that I won't be going back there.
