mix-o-logy never works for me. in fact even your regular known cocktails have an uncanny knack of annoying me. i find most cocktails too sweet (mojito’s) or too salty (margarita mix based) or too sour (fruit based). a freakin alcoholic drink should taste like liquor and hence i am a ‘no no’ on cocktails… but that’s just me.

moving on to portion sizes.. i agree small portions are depressing but being here in north america, i am sick of absurdly excessive food that is dished out no matter what you order.

anu – the blog looks great, ill catch up on everything. give me another short story already..:)

@ Sherry& Abhi: Dah…! it’s not whether the review is good/ bad… it’s whether it captures all the good and bad things about the place.

@ Apeksha: True…everyone is entitled to their views… for us the food was ok and the drinks really good. But the staff was really disappointing. The waiter attending to us was almost rude when I asked him if restaurant policy allowed people to smoke even though the law doesn’t. On an unsatisfactory asnwer from him, I asked to see the Manager and the waiter gave me the the ‘Ha… I’m going to spit in your food’ look! Also the Manager never came to speak to us. Even if the place is great, such expereinces leave a bad taste.

@Sharninder you are absolutely right. Women can’t say bad things about places at all. Always middle of the line reviews.

@Apeksha I am a bigger foodie than I would care to admit. I liked the food at Bonobo… but i don’t think that it was great, and the drinks, I really wouldnt know, since i generally drink beer. What I didn’t like the place was that you had to sit outside in the irritating Mumbai humidity and that they were allowing people to smoke in the restaurant.

All this and you end with “a decent evening” … Woman I tell you .. can’t write a bad review even if their life depends on it

Jokes apart … Doesn’t sound like a place I’d want to go to. Thanks

I was disappointed. I ate my meal and yours and still no satisfaction. Drinks is fine… but if you cant back it up with good food and solid portions… you suck in my books!
