I spy Ivy

Ivy is a nice pleasant place much like Banyan Tree. The only difference is that Ivy is by the Indage guys and supposedly to propogate wine drinking. Well we did end up having 4 different wines (by the glass mind you) but the experience was so so. While the wines were reasonably priced with the most expensive topping out at 175 bucks a glass the storage seemed to be indifferent. While the more expensive wines which perhaps were not selling well were a wee bit corked the cheaper wines were decent. The food was competent although the olives in the spaghetti seemed to have a herd instinct and the feta cheese in the salad was a wee bit inadequate. The bruschettas and garlic breads were done well. The desserts are from Prive and hopefully good. One sour note though was that they have a impressive listing of wines for sale but the non Indian wines were largely unavailable and what was available were all stuff produced in house. Anyone tried Tiger Hill and found it to be tart or is it just me ?
