Undaunted by the prospect of lunch at near-exorbitant prices, we took our seats and enjoyed a view of the pool (fat, pasty Europeans keeping the barboy busy). SD had the pumpkin tortelloni in saffron cream sauce that he enjoyed and I had a sea bass filet garnished with scallops in a light lemon butter sauce...tasty if not very exciting. The third member of our party had a seafood pizza served without mozzarella (a rarity here). It was at least one step above edible, though the squid rings resisted mastication. A nice red wine (offered at B280 the glass) really pushed up the tab. The bread accompaniment hinted at time in a microwave. The decor was plastic Tuscany, there were no other diners and the staff didn't feel the need for air conditioning. Overall impression: uninspiring meal from an Italian chef who wished us "buon apetito" on his way to the poolside bar. Total for 3: B2200. No repeat visit planned. I noticed Rang Mahal on the 26th floor has a brunch buffet....more on that next weekend.
Rang Mahal hate getting customers in after 10pm as they close at 11. They are very rude to you.

Is that the Indian joint in the Rembrant? I was going to check it out, I'll give it a miss then!!!!
Berty: that may be a mistake.
Dont give it a miss it is brilliant. As a former restaurant owner I can say that not many in the restaurant business want a customer to come in at 10:00 when they close at 11:00. Very often there is a separate sign saying the kitchen closes at 10:00. Everybody wants to go home after a long shift, and think of how late you would be if the kitchen served until 11:00.

Maybe they just get fed up with snotty luk kreungs giving them a hard time [image: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/images/smilies/grin.gif]
