Mood for some Bleu?

(Pic: How many dishes have you known that look just as great even after you're done eating them)

Who: Blue - Lounge Bar at Cinemax, Hyderabad (Opp. LV Prasad Eye Hospital, Hyderabad)

WoWs:

Ambience: The interior is bathed in blue. Eerie, eh? On the contrary, you get used to it pretty fast and carry the 'mood' with you away. The Lounge is sliced into orbs and the lighting scheme is even more dramatic here – one hue melts into another – which means, in the midst of your conversation you suddenly realise that the blue environ you were sitting in has taken on a red hue. You barely attune yourself and try to arrest the next transition that you are already sitting all yellowed. Don't know whether it sounds common/weird/fantastic to you, but I was left quite amused and though I otherwise hate such tainted ambiences, the light effects at Bleu seemed quite soothing and romantic. And then you've those glassy beaded string curtains encircling the orbs that creates an anticipation that some belly dancer might slither in anytime, like they used to at Hookah (PVR Priya Complex, South Delhi) every Fri-eve.

Food: Since it was the review thingie again, I was served the best of the lot. Take the Blue berry cheese cake here for example – the only dessert that looked as scrumptious even after it was no more on the plate.

Service: New-ones-in-the-block usually exhibit impeccable service!
Rates: Pretty moderate; Rs. 500-800 for a decent meal for two
Burps:
1) The interior is a tad too dark for informal parties;
2) Bleu's “blue” might leave you a little blue
