We were fortunate to be treated to lunch at the Indian Ocean Pavilion Restaurant The setting is stunning with views across the Galle Face Green towards the Indian Ocean. Range of seating options are available as befitting a restaurant of this calibre. The food was both varied and sumptuous. OD special note, quite obviously were the range of Indian delicious. Cooked to perfection with the perfect balance of spice and heat without detracting from the main ingredient of the dish. The Sri Lankan offering was also varied and well presented International offerings were more limited but what was presented was good The dessert offering was absolutely world class, in variety, presentation, innovation and quality Service however was mixed given the high standards expected. The entrance /reception at the restaurant could be better managed/trained, while food and drinks service had to be searched for on a day when the restaurant was not fully booked The service of the staff at the reception area however was of the highest standard of both honesty and training. I had left behind my wallet at the seating area at reception prior to joining our hosts for lunch. It was only after lunch that we discovered the missing walllet. More in hope than expectation we traced our steps back to reception to inquire. Was very pleased and relieved to note that the wallet had been found by the staff / contents, itemised /noted by the staff and promptly handed over Full marks and many thanks Suresh, Pasan, Rifas, Zaid and Rukshan
We went to itc Rathnadeepa on 21st August and we had a nice experience there. We went for a high tea. It was in the sky restaurant. Food is delicious and the hotel staff members are so friendly. They talked with us nicely and did their service well. We met Mr Hasitha and he is so friendly. He helped us to go around the hotel as we requested. This hotel is so wonderful and we went to see the third floor. It has many restaurants. You can enjoy Indian food there and also it has mini bars. The view of the sky restaurant is amazing and breathtaking one. It’s so worth to visit here as you can enjoy a lot. At the evening you can enjoy live music in the main lobby. They offer cinnamon tea and some snacks while you are enjoying the peaceful music there. If you want you can go to the cafe area in the main lobby. So you must visit this place and I highly recommend this!
