To start with, we were blown away by the watermelon virgin mojito and the starter - the pomfret was cooked to perfection. But having ordered Indian fare like biryani (which was nice), we were surprised that pickle wasn't placed at the table, we had to ask for it.
But then my prawns came and they were hard, clearly overcooked and disappointing. But what was even more disappointing was that I'd asked the staff to mention to the chef to keep the food gluten free and as a result they simply skipped the mashed potatoes on my dish. That a hotel at the level of the Marriott couldn't whip up gluten free mashed potatoes for a Rs. 1000 dish was for me terribly disappointing.
Lastly, the dessert menu is undoubtedly the most boring I have ever come across. We skipped desserts altogether.
By Belgaum standards, this is a good restaurant, hence the 4 stars. By Marriott standards, not so great.
Chef Madan's andhra onion pesarattu was amazing. Mansi's eggs... Omlette and fried egg were very good. Kira's filter coffee was good. Elan was managing the omlette station the next day with equal skill.
Overall the food was good and considering this is an american brand the presence of peanut butter at the breakfast table was not surprising.
Akshay and his team leader by Taranth do a good job at the service.
Just wish we had known that Madan was the sous chef we would have ordered some pappu and gutti vankai for dinner last night. Next time maybe!
Food was great and the service was exceptional. Keep up the great work.
