Well... If you happen to begin wondering why I'm blogging about this restaurant, let me stop you there. This is where I dined with ma buddies. This restaurant is unparalleled in its offering. With shear luxury in a semi-formal environment and the most expressive buffet in town one could hardly anything the otherwise about this place.

As an icing on the cake, I was in company of two of my really close buddies.

It sure turned out to be a fun filled afternoon and the desserts were at its best leaving us tasting it long after we left the hotel.Oh, I almost forgot to mention Big B, who had checked in while we were enjoying the spread.

The highlight of dining at ANISE is the chef-driven interactive meal experience. It sure makes one feel good.The restaurant boasts a new beverage menu that includes seasonal fresh fruit shakes, exotic fruit smoothies, single origin coffees, speciality coffees, selection of teas and naughty martinis.

This bright and cheerful restaurant overlooks the picturesque swimming pool with its uni-columned tables and well carved chairs with elegance written all over it.The delicate upholstery soothes in a warm feeling of relaxed comfort.

We enter the restaurant with four tables occupied. I could easily relate this to any best selling paper spread- novels. To the immediate right of the entrance was an empty chair adjoining which was a family seated in three. On the table beside ours was a man in staggering hard pressed whites, whom we supposed to be a Capitan. On the next table were two men supposedly having their luncheon and having a casual talk with the captain who had eased himself with his cap on the right end of the table which had escaped my attention until it kissed the carpet as he stood up :P... On the other side of the room inline with the wall mounted LCD TV was a man who appeared to be in his mid 40's working on a brain child of Steve Jobs- An APPLE Lappy. Time brushes past as the restaurant gets busy, then really busy and guess what... We still happen to be treating ourselves with the exquisites in front of us. It was well past the closing time and people simply couldn't resist themselves from taking their sweet own time to pride delight...

Almost three hours in the restaurant and we were still at the table talking and talking and of course eating !!! :P We weren't totally jobless... Actually, we were very busy doing things we were doing at our very best. Enjoying the day !!!

I almost missed typing this... This was a part of my b'day bash ;) :P :)

Many Thanks to ma Parents and ma buddies, the day turned out to be a memorable one. :)

Hope I get to enjoy many such memorable occasions in the days to come :) :)
