Deck Se7en - Novotel

Was looking for a place that serves alcohol and is not a pub/lounge (since we wanted to talk to each other comfortably). Also, I was looking for a place that is a part of Zomato Gold, and something that is close to the Metro.  This place is at the poolside of Novotel and met all my requirements. 

It is located on the 7th floor of the hotel. As soon as you get out of the elevator, it feels like you have come to the wrong floor since there are just rooms. There is a small signboard pointing to the spa / swimming pool which you need to follow; though there is no particular signboard mentioning deck se7en. 

Once I entered the pool area, I noticed that it was really windy. This was at 6pm in mid-January. I strongly suggest taking an overcoat/jacket. The area is smaller than it looked from the photos. 

The service area also isn't too big. This particular day there were a lot of people and it looked liked some office get-together. So the service was really slow since there was just 3-4 staff who was attending to everyone. We were sitting at one of the corner tables and we could barely see any staff member from here, let alone call one. So we decided to go to the bar counter and order. Then they said that they would send someone to the table to take our order. The waitress came and gave the menu; later disappeared again. So throughout our visit we had to go 3-4 times ourself to order. 
I'm not sure if everyone would experience the same service on all days, since I'm not aware how often do people from nearby office come here after work. 

We had two long island ice teas, and two beers (since I was using the Zomato Gold buy 1 get 1 free offer). The long island felt a bit watered down. 

For the food we ordered the chicken quesadilla, and the Garlic & Parmesan fries. The quesadilla tasted really good. It was served with a few dips/sauces on the side. The fries weren't bad, but the cheese in it became hard soon (as it was extremely windy), and fries were cold in no time. 



It wasn't a bad experience overall. I would give them the benefit of doubt that it might not be so crowded every day. 

This place also accepts Zomato Gold on drinks! If you aren't a Zomato Gold member yet, use my code - UDITSS - to sign up and get a 25% off !
