Bangalore never seizes to surprise you !!! To begin with the hotel gives you an amazing old time Bangalore feeler as soon as you enter. The pathway leading to the lounge and green every where is just amazing. After giving the car for vallet parking we realised that the blue ginger restaurant is in a different side and you need to walk, it's a nice walk on the corridor with pictures from old times. Blue Ginger is a Vietnamese restaurant sorrounded by forest like ambience and nice BIG tables with nice view and green all over. They have good choice of wine and the food is close to Chinese/Thai(first time in a a Vietnamese restaurant). Though I don't remember the lady who served she helped us choosing starters and main course .... Wine was a French one and it was really nice, the person who took the wine order and served the wine can smile a bit more :) over all an amazing experience on the day of our anniversary!! It's was really nice feeling when the hotel came up with the cake to make it special ..... I definitely recommend this place a...

We visit this restaurant last night. The food was good but the service was horrible. Ended up ruining our rare Saturday evening together as a family. The restaurant manager was a disaster … “tell me your concer and I will raise it with management “. Then why be a manager. Duty manager was not available. A message to the front desk for the GM to call back also not returned. A fairly regular customer of the Taj west end masala club where we have not had such issues at least in the past. Not to speak of a queasy stomach for the entire family the next morning… god knows what was wrong in the hygiene levels with the food. But given the apathy I would definitely put that at suspect. I should add here that there were other customers as well who were complaining about the service.

An un-Taj experience to the core. Don’t waste an evening here would be my recommendation to others...
