We decided to try "Indyana" for dinner one evening, which we read about in a local restaurant guide. They serve fusion food of French, Italian, and Asian.
It is elegantly decorated with Indian statues and dark drapes, softly lit and cozy. We were lucky we arrived just before the rush, soon not even a single table was free! The clientele were very lively and stylish, great for people watching!
We asked the waiter to recommend a starter and he brought us spring rolls, which were a bit oily for my taste. Then for the main dish my husband ordered beef in a saki teriyaki sauce which was very tasty and I got a shrimp scampi dish which was tasty but a bit too much pasta.
We were a bit sad that we had not ordered the house specialty, which the table next to us had ordered. It was sea bass and the waiter first brought the fish to the guests to inspect, then they took it to the kitchen to bake it in a casing of salt, and when it was done it was brought to be carved tableside. They first broke off the salt casing and then proceeded to carve it so precisely, first removing the head and tail, then bones, then slicing the fillets perfectly. They even removed some meat from the cheek and placed it on the top. Final touches included adding some vegetables on the side, it looked perfect, and healthy to boot!! Wish we has known... make sure to consider it if you have dinner here!!
They are open until 11:30pm and they have a large party room downstairs where we saw some tour groups heading.
