Welcome to one of a kind Restaurant slash Bar slash Co-working space in Pune. It is named, the 1st Story and is a new venture by Sheraton group of hotels. You may easily locate this inside the Four Points by Sheraton, Viman Nagar.
The restaurant is built to be utilized as a fully equipped workspace during the day and transforms into a playground (food and drinks playground) during the night.
The best part is you can order food and drinks even though you are at work, which is how I feel when I am at work, LOL.
The service, however, was a bit clumsy and had to wait for the servers to be around for assistance.
The food was overall good. The concept is a fusion from cuisines across the world and Indian. For example - the must-try Pindi Chole Tacos, a cross between Mexican, Punjabi and Maharashtrian (since the taco itself is made of Maharashtrian thalipeeth.
Linguine Anda Makhani - a cross between, Punjabi, North Indian and Italian - who would have thought!
The cocktails were, however, a class apart. 'The Drinker's Statement' - a coffee-based cocktail with coffee liquor, vodka and a hint of Tabasco, was one of the most balanced coffee based drinks I have ever had and the 'East India Cocktail' - with pineapple juice, triple sec, bitters and scotch was perfectly balanced over a large cube of ice and made for a great post-dinner drink.
Value for money is really good at 1st Story since the place is surprisingly inexpensive and can beat any restaurant in 4/5 star restaurants with their rates. Cost for two is well below Rs 700. Not to forget the ambiance and the vibe is very ecstatic and positive.
Overall, a sure visit in Viman Nagar, especially if you freelance and looking for a fun environment to work. For others its just a fantastic value for money option.
Cheers!
