Restaurant is located at terrace of the Raintree hotel. Ambience is excellent during evening and night. Live music and singing adds to the ambience. IPL matches are projected. Service staffs are friendly and providing good suggestions. Food quality is good but wouldn't rate great. Price is on higher side. Overall a good place to spent along with friends or family on a weekend night.
I don't visit Chennai that often. A friend took me here for couples of drinks. Must say the view of the city is spectacular from here. They have designed it elegantly. Food was nice and service was 5 star level.
Food:
Food is good not great but met our expectations. Few dishes were let down - Fish and chips was bad (it should be renamed as Fish Bajji). Lamb Chops, Pork Ribs were delight. Kebab were just perfect.
Drinks are freaking expensive - they charge over 70% in name of tax extra. we ended up paying a huge amount. they should mention the percentage in menu i guess. the bill was really surprising. menu just had 6% on service charge not on GST and VAT.
Ambience: Amazing view of the beautiful city. there were fireworks nearby was just amazing to watch.
Happen to go with my friends family and was a great time.
Service:
It was great and fast in beginning but happen to be terribly slow when we ordered 2 and 3rd round. but no complaints, it gave us time to spend time with friends and family.
Place was clean and tidy - no complaints. Reserve your table before you go and ask for best view.
It’s a lovely place to spend precious time with family and friends. Food was excellent and service was great. Especially thanks to mr.Nazir who served us very kindly. We’ll visit again soon.
We went here with a large group and had the best time. The service was excellent and so was the food! You get a 360 view of Chennai and its lovely. We went for dinner so had a night time view of the city. The menu is pretty cool, but they do interesting fusions, ie- spring rolls with brie cheese and amm papad (dried mango), which were delicious and I wish I can go back to Chennai just to have these again (I live in NYC)!
The scene is pretty trendy on the rooftop as well. I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Chennai.

Eating under the sky full of stars has always been a dream. The dream came true when I recently visited Above Sea Level at Raintree, St Mary’s road for their seafood festival. Above sea level is a beautiful rooftop restaurant, where you get to enjoy a delicious meal with the natural breeze, perfect lighting, a view of Chennai and the city lights, soothing music and yes the stars and the moon shining down on you! Can your night get better than this?
This is what the restaurant is all about! Enjoy a brilliant meal curated by the chefs with the perfect ambience.
This is one of the best place.. good food and ambiance.. planned for a suprise birthday party..Manager Nazir thank you so much for making it a memorable one.. who made arrangements up to my expectations for the suprise.. staffs and service were extremely good 👍
The place was elegant. The menu offered a great selection of dishes, with a strong emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients. I decided to try the grilled mahi-mahi and was not disappointed. The fish was cooked to perfection and the accompanying salad was fresh and flavorful. A good place to spent along with friends or family on a weekend night.
Really amazing food

We went there for Marc and Marcia who perform live every Wednesday and Friday. The quality of the food is great, lovely flavors however with respect to the portion size the cost is very high. Love the ambiance.
The menu at Gourmet Delights offers a diverse range of options to satisfy every palate. Whether you're a meat lover or a vegetarian, there's something for everyone. I opted for the pan-seared salmon, accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables and a glass of their recommended white wine. The presentation was impeccable, and the flavors were simply delightful. The salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky on the inside with a crispy skin, and the vegetables were seasoned well and bursting with freshness. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and tastes
Nice food with a decent view of the city skyline. Sad that they only had KF Draught on tap and nothing else. The service was also a little slow for a weekday night. Else it's a good place with nice food!!
Highly recommend the Paneer pasanda tikka and Murg Banzara kebab. The staff were patient, kind, courteous and accommodating. Thank you, Anish and Shubham!
