Reflections, JW Marriott
Rating: **1/2
Points for just being at the JW Marriott. The hotel with the revolving door to some of the most famous faces in Mumbai. In fact if I am not mistaken, a Bollywood character actor recently tweeted about his meeting there implying that the best thing about conducting meetings at the JW is that he bumps into several industry friends. The reason I go on about this, is quite simple, Reflections is the perfect people watching space. And an additional point for utterly efficient and polite waiting and managerial staff. Shah Rukh Khan could be on the next table and I will be handled with as much fuss, interest and dignity as the over achiever on the next table.
Reflections isn't the swishest space at the JW. That would paradoxically be the cafe - BBC. Reflections is quiet. You can have a private meeting, actually have a conversation, and just linger in the company you have. They have tables and sofa spaces and an excellent wine and whisky list. A glass of Veuve Cliquot is for Rs 900 and a glass of a good Reisling will set you back 600-700.
The only failing is it's proximity to the restrooms, but because people walk past these tables to for Spices and Mezzo Mezzo as well, waiting here is a feast for the people watchers.
