West View

Not every restaurant in the Science City area is geared towards appeasing the tourists. This business lunch-heavy spot inside the ITC Sonar hotel is known for its grilled steaks, duck and other meat-centric dishes, Italian cuisine, along with immaculate platings. Though business expense accounts are flashing left and right, the casual diner/drinker is equally welcome here, and those thirsting for extensive Cognac and Scotch selections should feel very comfortable here indeed. West View, which boasts a daily changing, unwritten five-course menu, is lauded for its “Enoteca” – an extensive wine library decanted and prepared at your table. And of course, a full bar, under the capable watch of Sankhadeep, means you can enjoy an ice cold Martini with that grilled lamb chop cooked over hot lava rocks. Added bonus: Live classic pop music from a house band most nights. Reservations recommended. Proper attire (Formal or Smart Casuals) recommended.
