Corleone

| | | |
Summary: Fineish Italian Dining, A new alternative to Trattoria
Description:

Corleone is the new Italian restaurant at the Intercontinental Marine Drive.Compared to Trattoria the decor is more upscale, the seating much classier and the view unreal (marine drive) it is a great date restaurant after sundown.

The food itself isnt too bad, the soups are miserable avoid them at all costs (ive tried, pomodoro, minestrone, mushroom) The appetizers are not too bad, the stuffed mushroom especially is out of this world. Additionally one can get the antipasti which isnt too bad.

Entrees are generally Italian, nothing too drastic here, nothing too surprising either. The food isnt too bad.

There is one drink i would reommend to anyone which is called a Limeade or something to that effect. Excellent.

Also excellent is the house sundried tomato paste served with the bread basket (complementary) you will not be able to get enough of this.

The service is excellent, very prompt, very friendly and they work hard to ensure you are happy. The food itself is good and the setting makes this an enjoyable place to visit.

The pricing is on the high side a meal for two without alcohol will easily touch 1500

Summary: thalis and veg food in nariman point
Description:

Status serves excellent Thalis and veg food.

It has two sections.

1.) A small area outside - which sells very affordable fast food with a few tables and chairs and some tables at which you can stand and eat. This section is an office goers favourite in the afternoons due to being in the Nariman Point business ditrict.

2.) An AC restaurant - In the evening you will find it a frequented by families. My favourite here are the Thalis but most veg dishes are quite good too. They serve beer by the bottle which is around 150 rupees.

Ruby Tuesday

Summary: Booze, food, etc.
Description: Yep, the same Ruby Tuesday. I can't really confirm, but the outlet here—at InOrbit mall—is probably the first one to open in India (and surely the first in Mumbai). Two of us (my brother and I) went there after watching a movie in the mall. The ambience is decent—they could do with some tinted glass, though: it's kinda irritating to be able to see the mall from inside. The lighting is just perfect. The interiors are good—very artificial, but good. They've got skate boards, old photographs, jerseys, etc. put up so randomly that it's perfect. I mean it's not like Peco's, or Toto's. But good still. There's a separate (kinda) section for smokers. I wouldn't go here just to have a few drinks. The food is really good. Cocktails are good too. (Didn't have any this time; the last time a bunch of us were here, we had only cocktails.) The place is kinda expensive, though. Our bill came to 1082 bucks—two bottles of Kingfisher, a Long Island Iced Tea, chicken wings (really good), and a chocolate short cake. A pitcher costs 350 bucks—same as Geoffrey's. By the way, they have some membership thing where you pay 3500 bucks anually—you get a 20% discount every time you go alone, a 50% discount when you're with a guest; that percentage progressively decreases as the number of guests increase. Oh, and when you sign up, you get a bottle of house wine, and a few vouchers worth a few five hundred bucks. Ruby Tuesday will be opening an outlet in Bangalore some time in October.

Sidewok

| | | | | | | |
Summary: One of the best bars in town
Description:

One of the best watering holes in town. Also probably the only place in Bombay that stocks Guinness beer.

Sidewok is beautifully located at the edge of Nariman Point at NCPA right next toOberoi annexe. It is managed by the Taj. The food is primarily oriental of the Wok kind. There are some good starters too. The waiters dance on birthdays.

All this is immaterial. It is a super cool place to drink, though expensive. The customized cocktails are excellent. Sit at the bar, and strike up a conversation with the bartenders. They freely distribute gyaan, fundaes, and sometime drinks. This is probably the only place in Bombay to stock Guinness beer.
