We were just walking around when we spotted the board reading "Kosmo" and saw these white curtains fluttering away in the breeze, looked really nice so we decided to go in. As written by others, the place looks amazing, but
1.No one to greet us for a whole minute
2.Fusion food is what they call it,but I'm not one for a Thai style curry with Kerala Parathas
3.TOO EXPENSIVE for what they have to offer
4.Music is TOO loud for you to have a decent conversation, if you want to keep it so loud, DON'T call it a lounge
5.Finally, we were so disappointed with the music...I would not want to go to a place with the kind of amazing ambiene they have and listen to ABBA(not that I don't like Abba)
Suggestions,
1.Get rid of the DJ
2.Increase the options on the menu
3.Get a consultant to help you with the "FUSION FOOD" concept, get the fussion right
4.There's a lot of space, consider a brunch service
The only reason I would give an Average rating is because the place LOOKS so good and is very comfortable

Was there on 5th of March. There were 8 of us and called ahead to book.
Entrance is a long dimly lit corridor with asbestos roofing adorned with statue of Ganesha/photo of Laxmi. Well that was a bit of a dampener.
First impressions on entering- breathtaking, beautiful and very classy.
Closer look- Lighting does all the work. Daytime this would be a poor place to go to. Asbestos sheets painted white adorn all roofs.Must get very warm during day time.
On arrival there is no one to greet you. So despite having booked ahead we had to go through the whole rigmarole of asking for a table, 8 people etc etc.
Finally selected a table and settled down and ordered the first round of drinks and some snacks. The menu looked very very limited and we were wondering aloud on this only to be informed there were 2 parts to this place. The place abutting the entrance(to the right) has a more pub like menu and to the left is a more fine dining menu.
We requested to be shifted and they readily found a table in the area where the menu that suited us was served. We ordered Chicken Satay, Lemon grass chicken and fish patties in red paste.The food when it arrived tasted as if it were leftovers from the last weekend. All of them tasted stale - like they had been made a few days ago and then re heated/fried. Service was fairly good. They had hordes of waiters and very few tables occupied.
Over all a mixed experience:
Positives:
1. Ambience
2. Design - very very cheap materials used but still of it came together to make the place look classy.
3. Fresh Breeze
4. Very large wine list
Negatives:
1.Food
2. No concirge at entrance- despite booking we did not know which was our table, where to sit and had to go through the whole process again.
3. Pricing- Very very expensive food and at that quality one is in no mood to pardon
Verdict- Good place for a couple of drinks and to hang around. Dinner definitely at some other place like we did.

I went here for a drink - I didnt eat the food so cannot really comment on it. The place is very tastefully decorated and comfortable - they have taken an old bungalow and remodelled it. The only problem with this place - which is a problem with a lot of places in Bangalore - is that it is very expensive - its ridiculous to pay Rs. 350 for a cocktail - although it was quite a good cocktail.
I liked the place as they were quite relaxed and didnt mind that we didnt eat anything there. In fact they were generous enough to give us some bread. I'll probably go here again - especially if someone else is picking up the tab....
