I happened to attend the Stars Awards event at The Playboy
Club. While one could easily get impressed with the décor, ambience and
eclectic style of the place, the overall experience was a let-down. Such a
magnanimous brand and so many goof-ups.
Food:
The chicken satay sticks served to us were amazing. Although
I had small portions of the dinner (since it was late after the dancing) of the
dinner, the tastes were amazing. Chicken makhni and the dal Tadkaa were
something par excellence. The tiramisu was outstanding.
Drinks:
I ordered a Long islands tea, which I monitored and ensured
it had the right blend. The second helping of the same drink was a complete
disaster. One sip of it and it was just saccharine sugar syrup that hit my
taste buds. Aren’t bartenders supposed to take a sip and ensure quality and
taste standards are maintained? The follow-up drink was just about okay.

Service:
Surely a let-down. No paper napkins or tissues were
provided while the starters were served. A 20 minute wait and 2 reminders to
the servers got us what we asked for. Glasses and plates were not cleared for
almost 30 minutes despite being in the VIP area. No manager or supervisors
around on this area to monitor that clients were being looked after.
The Playboy Club may have stringent rules on entry but if
this is the kind of service their staff are offering then it’s a big blow to
the outlet. A MINUS STAR each for bad service and the sugary syrup drink.
Hope to see an improvement on the service front too.
