Cool in the evening
The place is quite good in the evenings than the day. Of course u have plenty mosquitoes around! but its kind of ok. They have few pool side tables and a open theater stuff. Food is good, but very costly for the place.

Horrible food, pricey drinks
This place has one of crappiest food I have had for this price in Bangalore. Only thing I would like is this place is a wannable for all-night-fun open sky pub/sports-bar, pool side dining place, which turns out be a confused mess, with nearly horrible service.
Only a little more effort by the owner in straightening out of operations of this place could perhaps change the fortunes of this place, and the people, who dont want to get into the mess of mg/brigade road to have a nice evening in a pub/bar.

Unwind in the suburbs at Ivy
Tucked away from the busy Marathalli road, Ivy is like an oasis in that grubby landscape. After passing dusty construction sites and vacant plots on the windy ring road, we were delighted to step into this resort-style restaurant. Decked with gazebos, sandy floors and a lagoon pool it is both stylish and casual.
Their tagline, "the unwind island", is justified as they have everything from beach volleyball to fooseball. If you go there on a weekend you get crowds of IT guys in various states of unwind, but if you go on a weekday you could take advantage of the "player's lounge" with the pool tables and other cool stuff without having to jostle for space.
We chose to go there on an event night and needless to say it was packed to the brim. The crowd was eclectic and buffet was delicious, even if it was the usual panner masala, dal and tandoor fare (with the suprise addition of hyderabadi jaffrani pulao).
The open courtyard with the gazebos is the best option. You could sit in the gazebos on comfy cushions or sit under the sun or stars on the wooden benches. If you want to party, there's the lounge which you enter through a dramatic cave-like entrance. I didn't go in but i hear it is very chic.
The central gazebo functions as the bar (many exotic cocktails on offer) and it's surrounded by the lagoon pool that snakes through the entire courtyard. I was hoping to sit in one of the reclining chairs near the bar counter, but they were all taken up by the "fashion crowd" (spotted a guy with a cowboy hat and a cigar) There was a fashion show happening that night and they actually fixed a glass bridge on the pool to create the runway!
Space is such a luxury in any city restaurant, but here you get to stroll around and find your own nook to relax. The atmosphere was such that we ended up striking a conversation with the people at the next table and ended up being to their home for lunch!
The interesting thing about Ivy is that it is the backyard of a very chic and wi-fi hotel of the same name. They obviously cater to the executives who would be visiting the surrounding tech parks and regularly play host to business banquets and seminars.
If you find the place too unweildly, relax, Ivy has special "packages" to make sense of their many offerings - package 01: Pay Rs.699 for the Sunday Brunch (11:30 am t0 4:30 pm) and you get to play beach volleyball, swim in the pool, use the gym and players lounge and top it all off with unlimited drinks and a lavish buffet. If that isn't value for money, i don't know what is.
Package 03: Rent the largest dance floor in Bangalore for a private party. Price on enquiry.
The place is also a stone's throw from Innovative Multiplex so my package would be something like this: catch a movie, have dinner at Ivy and then later, if you have a sweet tooth, bite into the yummy stuff at Baskin Robbins that's in the same compound and drive home with the wind in your hair...
