Not really Jazz!
We almost missed the place as its sqeezed between 2 other eateries (both having much flashy n visible hoardings!) anyways the teeny weeny signboard didn't help much.
Ambience:
Dim lights -you get a candle at each table,nice interiors,comfy seats.Wouldn't mind grabbing a seat at the bar counter there if the place was full.Soft Jazz was playing when we entered which soon made way for romantic pop; the likes of James Blunt - "You're Beautiful".Crowd was nice and even though the screen was displaying an IPL match, people quietly went about their own ways without any cheering or hooting.Thats what u expect at an upmarket place ..right!
Food n Drinks:
Nice range of drinks offered.Ordered a St.Bernardus Triple which came out quite quicky-nice n chilled.The snacks were decent-crispy lamb & chilli chicken.The chicken was a touch bland for the well initiated indian taste buds, no complaining- the place isnt for the average beer guzzling indian anyways.
Service:
Prompt ,quite polished and well behaved.
Overall a nice place to be if you are looking for a good range of belgian beers,soothing music and have a nice chat with friends but a tad expensive to make it a regular hangout.

Bad Meat....
...although the place seems nice enough otherwise, the meat (the lamb-chops, specifically) always seem a bit rancid. To be fair, the vegetarian food was good and their momos were nice, if a bit dry.
Over the past few years, I've gone there several times, and the lamb-chops are always terrible. The first time, the meat was completely spoilt (smelt horrendous), and afterwards, they've always had a slightly off taste to them.

Belgian Beers
Having grown up on a diet of Kingfisher and more Kingfisher...and a late convert to Cobra I really enjoy this place for the range of beers.
The range of beers, decent ambiance and great pricing...and as for the food...who knows...with so much nectar at disposal I frankly have not bothered to eat...The only exception being spinach croquets and Salsa and Chips
May more Take 5's spring up..especially the south side of town

Beer, Beer and More Beer
I love Take 5! (for those who might have read my other reviews, im not always a crabby critic).
Pros - light jazz music, Excellent food (i quite like the chilli chicken), belgian beer, affordable, nice crowd, good service and great ambience.
Cons - the seating can sometimes be a little uncomfortable, the tables are either too high or you are cramped in some corner or you are seated texas style as though staring out of an airplanes cockpit. I know that there are better seats available but it looks like someone ran a space utlization Six Sigma project and manged to use every square foot of the place to house a chair and table.

Jazz in Indiranagar
Take 5 is one of my favourite drinking spots in the city. As the name implies, it is (at least supposedly) a jazz bar, and also has a solid menu for the hungry. After its recent renovation, it can safely be said that this place's USP is its ambience. Great attention has been paid to detail, with pictures of jazz greats on the wall, and there's even some jazz art around. The lighting is extremely dim, the crowd keep to themselves, and since there's no din, the place is conducive to conversation. My one gripe with Take 5 is the selection of music. The first few times I went, I really appreciated the place for the downbeat jazz they played later at night. Imagine my surprise, then, to return a few months later to hear 'summer of 69', 'hotel california', and other such banalities...this is supposed to be a jazz lounge, so I think they should stick to playing jazz. That's the main reason I go there, and I felt cheated having to listen to Bryan Adams and the like. If you aren't concerned about the music, then I guess you have nothing to worry about. Apart from this one gripe, i love the place; the food is good, with generous helpings and some interesting touches (try the curry pasta, for example!) The drinks are not as expensive as one might expect in a place like this. But the real reason to visit Take 5 is the ambience; hushed, dim, and with a beautiful, beautiful view of 100 ft. road at night, Take 5 is very jazz, despite the occasional crimes in the music department!
