The Lowdown – A Modern American dining concept, with menu items
inspired by a myriad of ethnic
ingredients and international techniques. The menu changes daily depending on
the freshness of the ingredients received as they believe in the Farm to Table
concept. Owned and operated by IB Hospitality, it offers the best in class and
refines the experiential dining scene. And yes it is the only restaurant in
Mumbai that serves Pinot Grigio and Prosecco on tap!

Ambience- The design seems to be inspired by the collision of
rustic simplicity and glamour. Supple leather seating and tiled table tops add
a touch of elegance and compliment the statement chandelier. An explosion of
vintage paintings in every style and era alongside several large format
paintings by the designer himself adorn the walls. Needless to add for people
around being here seemed reason enough; soaking in the grandeur of an elegant
era while enjoying a selection of viands below reproach.

Lip-smacking- ‘Chantrelle mushrooms and truffle air’, ‘Home-made
ravioli with a pumpkin filling’, ‘Lobster with smoked corn, avocado, roasted
spring onion, pimento air and manchego crisp’, ‘Australian Beef Cheeseburgers
with house made fries’ and ‘Holland Pork Belly with steamed buns, kimchee,
apple butter and jalapeno’.
Don't even go there –If you are looking for gigantic American sized
portions. The food is surely something to write home about; however it’s not
cheap by any standards…so if you have the money and don’t mind small portions,
go for it! The tables are tightly packed and it is tough to get out once you
are seated.
'Man’ Speak – While this restaurant represents the epitome of
sophisticated Modern American-concept dining, it has warmth about it that is
almost close to home.
