EVVIVA Sky Lounge Courtyard by Marriott Pune City Centre

There is something very special about open air rooftop bars and restaurants ......nothing comes anywhere close to the exhilarating feeling of dining under a twinkling canopy of stars with the bright Moon for company.

The feeling of leaving the every day din of city life far below , the panoramic city views a rooftop lounge offers you....its the perfect place for basking in the glorious feeling of love ......

I have to admit I have been to Courtyard by Marriott Pune City Centre on several occasions since it started 2 years ago......but I never ventured beyond their lovely coffee shop....maybe a quick wedding by the pool side followed by an equally quick but amazing buffet dinner in one of their banquet halls......little did I know that the lovely hotel boasts of one of the finest roof top lounge bars in Pune.....EVVIVA  Sky Lounge perched pretty on the roof top.

This breezy roof top bar gets all the details just right......soft lighting ,a great view, lounge music , a fantastic bar and scrumptious food.....its everything you need for a romantic rendezvous...

I was lucky to be able to preview their specially crafted Valentines Day menu......

 Minute details and excellent planning to ensure the best date night ever....the cocktails  were all excellent...3 for the ladies...all blushing pink and perfect and 2 manly looking and tasting cocktails for gentlemen patrons.

For starters there is delicately smoked Norwegian Salmon served on Latkes with caramelized onions and spinach and leek cigars with a fabulous plum and mint chutney for the vegetarians.....

The  cigars are perfectly blended.....just the right mix of salty creamy feta with spinach and leeks is indeed a match made in heaven and to take it one level higher is the lovely dipping sauce ...

Main course was fantastic as well we tried the following ....Chicken breast stuffed with walnuts and Camembert Chives Polenta and Paneer Steak infused with basil and rosemary......
