Ambience- Inspired by the elements, this restaurant is a landscape which has been carefully coaxed into a Fine dining. To add to the table experience one can dine by a sparkling pool of water at the private dining tables or by the Hotel’s edge in the fine dine area under the shimmering and calming sky.
