Ambience over a good meal??
I was here almost 6 months back for my birthday dinner and I must say at first glance, this is a tiny haven tucked away in a corner creating your own private space for romance and leisurely time.The ambience is what strikes you the most, its a farmhouse/boutique that belongs to a couple who turned their porch and lawn into a seating area.Since this place is not well known and is well out of the city its a great place for a quiet birthday or anniversary with your loved one.We had a candlelit table under tall trees on quite a windy evening and I must say it was mesmerizing!The lady of the house spent some time socialising with us along with their pet labaradors which were so friendly and cuddly(thats surely a plus with me :)!)
Coming to the food, service is terribly slow as it is definitely fine dining but I must say very very raw food!I can handle probably a starter that was raw but course after course was all raw food and since I am a veggie,after a point I felt like a deer!There were 5 courses in all and it took a good 3 hours for all the courses to be served and about Rs.3000 off our wallets for 2 people.All in all I wouldnt go here for the food but for a quiet evening, its a great place to be!

For romance and memories
There are those usual restaurants where you go on the spur of the moment and then there are those like Grasshopper which are reserved for those really special occasions that require thought and planning. All I can say is that you will not be disappointed.
Grasshopper is housed in a beautiful farmhouse that combines a chic boutique with a fabulous European restaurant. It is located off Bannerghatta road, beyond IIM and Meenakshi Temple but needless to say, this off-beat location adds to the charm of being in a place far from all the madness and traffic. The minute you reach Grasshopper, you can feel the peace and quite.
You enter through the boutique which has all the charm of a Greenwich Village store a painted red door, exposed cement blocks, and lovely designer clothes and jewellery. I could not take my eyes off a ruffled, bohemian black dress it looked perfect, and pair of red sandals but all the stuff comes at a pretty steep (I am sure, very well-deserved) price. Jazz music plays in the background.
The outdoor dining area is situated amidst a lovely garden and accommodates about thirty people. You need to reserve a day in advance and there is no fixed menu the chef cooks up a seven-course spread so, when you get there, you dont have to take the trouble of ordering; each course appears in front of you. Do declare your preference regarding vegetarian, non-vegetarian, red meat and fish when you reserve. Of course, you have to trust the chef but I can assure you he knows his job and it shows the food is made from the freshest ingredients and tastes divine.
Elegant fresh flowers decorate the trendy circular tables (the furniture looks like it is from The Design Store) and if you are there for dinner, candlelight adds to the warmth and romance. There is a menu for drinks a select choice of white and red wines, and some other beverages. We selected the ginger lime vodka and it was absolutely perfect tangy, with just a hint of ginger. Then the meal began course after course of delicious food olive and mushroom crostini, figs and goat cheese with argula, a salad of the most luscious pears, walnuts and lettuce with parmesan cheese, poached seabass in lemon and tender veal with a side of perfectly cooked vegetables; and all this with a side of freshly baked bread. For dessert, we tried the chocolate truffle with kiwi and the fig and almond ice-cream both winners.
I went there for dinner - it was superb but I have a feeling that lunch in that gorgeous garden will be even better. Prices are a bit steep Rs.1000 per head, but the entire experience is well worth the cost. The place lets you savour your meal and the laidback, unhurried ambiance combined with the fabulous food allows you to linger and enjoy pleasant memories. Go there for the next celebratory occasion in your life or for a very romantic evening.
