We went out for lunch with my office folks and were lucky to get the balcony seating the oversees the green tree cover from 4th floor. It was a great experience. There are excellent choices for Italian cuisine / good mock tails and cocktails.

SERAFINA; An Oasis of Flavors; Cravings for a continental cuisine are seldom satisfied, as one is torn in the battle of authenticity and “suited to Indian palate”. The Last Sunday we shortlisted Serafina, a long due visit for its Sunday Brunch. Well, to start with, I confess that the offering at Serafina should be seen as a Connoisseur’s delight and not a Glutton’s paradise. We, personally belong to the latter tribe, as the various options in the city offer a huge range for a Sunday brunch (It’s like consuming the weekly calorie quota in a Sunday Brunch). Located at the SLN Terminus and at Rs 1,199 All Inclusive (Non – Alchoholic), the Serafina Sunday brunch provides a decent spread of mouth watering and flavorful Italian food. The most noteworthy part of Serafina’s ambiance is the abundance of natural sunlight that lets you seep in the positivity on a very lazy day. You get to see the greenery from the balcony and it’s a must dine place during the monsoons. We were four adults and a kid, who were more than happy to be promptly seated as we walked in at 12:20 pm, with the outlet completely empty. However, within a matter of an hour or so, the entire place was bustling with a nice crowd of all ages. The ambiance again is apt for hearty conversations and soulful camaraderie. The service is top notch and the staff though always on their toes, are very attentive and courteous. We started off with some soft home baked Croissants, French baguette, Lavash, Ciabatta, and Garlic bread. The Garlic bread was very well done. Three of us tried the Cream of Chicken Soup and one tried the Potato leek Soup. The soups were awesome, and very flavourful. Amongst all the starters that were served we really liked the Chicken Wings, Prawn Milano, fried Kalamari and the Tomato bruschetta. The exquisite cheese accompaniments had us drooling, as most of us were cheese lovers. The Goat Cheese was very delicious. The most memorable part was the unending Mocktails that we had. On an average, each of us had three mocktails each, with the Zen Zero being the favourite, and the Calvados (a hot apple juice mocktail with Malabar Spices) being the most novel. -happy customer
