It’s the season of al-fresco dining, it’s the season when beer and kebabs are enjoyed on candle-lit dinner dates on rooftop terraces that overlook the city-lights. Level 12 at Double Tree by Hilton is all this and a lot more. Here’s a sneak peak :
AMBIANCE
I need 10 minutes to calm down and collect my thoughts every time I step into this rooftop restaurant on the 12th floor. When a strong wind hits you as soon as you walk out onto the terrace restaurant and try taking in the swimming pool, the view and the vibe of Level 12, I’m sure you’d be knocked out for some time too. I cannot get enough of this BEAUTIFUL restaurant, and I doubt any amount of words can justify the beauty of the ambiance. It’s been 3 days and I already miss the candlelit dinner date next to the swimming pool where I’d zone out for a couple of minutes every time I saw a plane taking off at the airport in the distance, or take a break in between dishes to stand at the clearing and look around to see the city lights blinking back at me, or simply lie back in my chair and take in the sound of the water and the music in the background. *phew*
FOOD
YAY OR NAY?
A definite yay, especially when you’re celebrating a special occasion. You could always request for a pick up and drop (charged separately) if you’re apprehensive about driving down to Chinchwad (though the roads in this side of town are pretty good, and the traffic isn’t that much of a hassle) Come here for the ambiance, a couple of drinks and the starters. I highly recommend this at least once if you’re a resident of Pune. The dining experience here will change things for you, calm you down and all that jazz(well, the ambiance does have an effect on you)True story.
