We were about a group of 55 people and were given half of the outside section ( which for those many people had only 3 tables where a maximum of 14 - 15 people could be seated at a time. So this felt very claustrophobic because of the space... Plus the demarcation is a step down and hence people would need to be in a different place other than their party. It was extremely hot... They had one cooler but after a while, that was switched off too, unsure why. They did help with a bar setting and just one bar tender, so catering to such a large crowd at a party with one man is quite overwhelming for them, as well as a good wait time for the group in question. Chirag our bartender, tried his best, so kudos for keeping up with that. I sampled the veg sushi, veg pizza, their dimsums, their crystal dimsums as well at some of the non veg appetizers. The food was good, considering so many people. I wish they would have served dinner earlier so people who wish to eat can enjoy dinner instead of waiting. I have to say they also did a good job serving food continuously. The waiters are all very pleasant and sweet. They are also very quick to clean up after a mess or spillage. I think this is a fantastic job by the crew, again more so because it's a private party and one wants to continue having fun without there being a fuss. So excellent job there. They had a huge Christmas tree outside and reindeer and fairy lights outside that spread holiday cheer. The inside was definitely packed with people as well as the section outside beside us. I wish the Dj would have done a better job at the music... Some tracks were repeated, and in between the music got terrible. All in all it was a fun time and with a Lil more management this is definitely ideal to host a party as long as you know exactly what dj is playing and where you reserve a spot. They also had two photographers, which was fantastic.... Now all we have to do is wait for...

Worst customer service, I have been to Escobar before in late hours and used to face some rude service thinking it might be because of rush hours, but on last night we were quite early and the manager and bouncer acted so rudely. First of all they allowed entry without cover charge since we were in guest list, then within 5 mins a bouncer came and asked us to show our handbags, one of my friend was found with alcohol which she tried to hide first (yes it was wrong) bouncer saw it and talked disrespectfully to her first, then she checked our bag continuing acting disrespectful. My friend gave the alcohol Can to her saying you may take this, i had it on my way. The bouncer then asked her who else is with her and everyone must go out right away, the ones who were talking to them while standing inside the gate were specifically told to come out first and then talk by the manager, then he continued saying now they cannot allow us to enter without paying. Now the problem is this whole behaviour was extremely rude, manager even called us thief or something and this whole thing happened because the bouncer was gone for a break while we were entering. Is this behaviour acceptable? I understand we were in the wrong but we corrected it right away but talking to us like this? Acting rude and passing disrespectful comments? They could have asked us to pay from the beginning but this behaviour even when they were also in the wrong for not checking is...
