Had been to Stax Bar for dinner last week to try their special Italian seafood menu. it's a big classy place with beautiful ambiance. the chef explained the menu to us and we knew this is going to be great experience. the seafood menu is very exclusive with 1q dishes on offer. we tried the Buridda soup which had prawns and calamari in it. the bowl came with prawns nicely presented in it and the soup was poured onto it which had the calamari. it was a good start to the evening. Then we tried Polpo, Bombay Mushi Frito Misto, Anatra Bombay which basically was braised Octopus, Mushi fish and Bombay Duck. I have to say I loved all three Appetizers. the Anatra Bombay which was a croquette of Bombay Duck stuffed with cream cheese and the coating had the perfect crisp! The braised Octopus was a new experience for me and I completely relished it. it was served with peppercorn sauce. the Mushi fish had to be my favorite among the Appetizers. it was very well suited to my Indian palate, if was served with pistou sauce which is a slight variation of pesto sauce. We also had the Spaghetti Scampi which was made from in-house made spaghetti with scampi prawns. this was another dish which had an very authentic touch, it really felt good to try something different from the pasta game. For the mains we had Pomfret which was marinated with herbs and chilli. it was steam cooked to perfection. the fish was the freshest one will find in the market. I usually like the fried version of Pomfret like many of us soo steamed fish is not really my most favorite. but for those who love it. it was perfectly cooked. we also had the Vongole. it had clams and made from fresh cocunut and onion. this one had a very Indian feel to it. the taste gravy reminded me of the aromas of the konkan region of Maharashtra. it was served with garlic bread. and then finally, we had the classic Tiramisu and I must say, this was one of the best Tiramisu's I've ever had. I wouldn't mind just walking in to have a piece of it. The service was absolutely fantastic staff was very polite and friendly. it was all a very classy affair. Instagram: @thechowsquad

Italian fine dine at its best is what STAX offers! It is everything you could expect from Hyatt and not a morsel was disappointing. 5 star service with the chef explaining each dish and the servers explaining the plating. The food on each plate I had was a story and narrated that way.
I went to STAX for their Sea Food Festival which they are conducting till the 25th of January 2020. A selection of 11 Italian dishes given the twist of indigenous sea food of mumbai.
My favourites among the lot I tried-
CIOPPINO - a broth based in tomato and shellfish with super healthy clams. The stew was mildly spicy and tangy and a much needed on this unusually cold night in Mumbai.
BURIDDA - this was a prawn and calamari soup. Again the soup in itself was tasting enough sea food and the texture was really smooth.
ANATRA BOMBAY - I have never had bombay duck (bombil) like this. When this lovely fish is stuffed with cream cheese and deep fried in croquette crumb you are bound to get a good appetizer. Along with the tomato salsa chutney these croquettes were outstanding.
BOMBAY MUSHI FRITO MISTO - mushi deep fried in a fish and chips style batter with herbs in the batter was a fabulous crunchy goodness for me. Pesti just took it to another level.
GRANCHIO FAGOTTONI - when sweet crab meat paired with lemon and chilli is wrapped in pasta and drizled with creamy white wine based sauce is just royally pleasing.
POMFRET - okay so pomfret is not my favourite fish but STAX just simply put it in front of me steamed to perfection with herb and chilli marination. I had no choice of stopping from digging into this fleshy goodness.
TIRAMISU - my favourite dessert and plated so well with a thank you note written in coffee. After all the savoury this completed my meal on a high note.
Other notable mention from my meal included the Spaghetti Scampi (made with shellfish bique).
So head to STAX to enjoy this sea food fest and Italian lovers can try this Indian fish twist. I was served and made felt like a Royal.
So I visited this place on my birthday and I was floored by the wonderful hospitality by our sever Yuvraj. The taste of Rissoto and Pizza was quite authentic , and the portion sizes were large enough for three of us. Chef Yuvraj extended their hospitality by baking a special dessert for my birthday . Special shoutout to our server Yuvraj, chef Yuvraj and his team with Dheeraj . Loved the place - 5/5..
