Farm House - Uthandi, ECR

Last week I had to attend a birthday treat of my roommate. We were searching for some good multi cuisine restaurant since we don’t want to go to an Indian/Chetinad restaurant. Since we fixed our mind in multi cuisine restaurant we searched burrp.com for help. Usually we use this site to search for restaurants. Finally we landed on "The Farm House" in ECR near Uthandi.



The restaurant was very easy to locate as it is located on ECR. Once I saw the restaurant, I felt it as an ordinary restaurant, but I got impressed by the water fall which was placed just adjacent to the AC hall. We went to the AC hall since it was noon. The open air place also looked very beautiful. The AC hall was furnished superbly particularly the ambience was very neat, the table was kept clean.

The waiter who came to take order was very decent with the way he approached. The menu was clearly explained but the waiter didn't show any patience. He was not ready to listen to the order which we are going to place, but he went away when we were discussing what to order. The serving time was ok but we could see the flies flying around us here and there. The soup tasted ok, i ordered cream of chicken soup which was really good. My friends ordered sweet corn non-veg soup and spinach with mushroom soup but i dint hear them complaining of those soups either. For starters we ordered non veg platters like sea food platter, chicken platter both in tandoori as well as chinese style. The chinese platters were good and it has some good dishes too. The tandoori platter was not up to my expectation. The sea foods were not cleaned properly as i can find some hairs or tentacles or whatever in the sea food platter. Chicken items were good but not too impressive to invite us the next time. Even the customer care was not very impressive, i saw what happened to one customer, as a waiter and the manager literally fought with the customer.
The accessories were not placed properly as the waiter took the sauces off the table once the starters came, even forks were not given in adequate quantity. I have to ask the waiter for my fork not once but twice. The waiter tooked time to respond to what we order. when i said pineapple juice he took a note as apple juice.

I was expecting a bill amount for arround 6K. One lobster which weigh 600 grams was priced 2000 bucks, which i felt too costly, it was good though. The chinese food was good but i don't think it is worth for what we pay. We seven of us were able to make a bill for 10K+. I don't find any dish to name the resturant. The pineapple raita was good, even that was also screwd up when we ordered for the second time.

I don't feel this as a "must visit" resturant, If are going with you girl friend then this could be the resturant otherwise please avoid.
