“Italian
fine
dining
restaurant
at
Soho
House
-overlooking
Juhu
Beach
.”
Cecconi's
is
the
Italian
restaurant
at
Soho
House
,an
elite
members'
only
club
at
Juhu,
part
of
a
worldwide
chain
.
This
restaurant
is
open
for
all
visitors
,rest
of
the
property
is
members
only
access
.
It's
on
Juhu
beach
,but
no
direct
access
to
the
beach
is
there
.
We
had
visited
this
restaurant
on
a
Wednesday
,for
dinner
.
We
tried
calling
on
their
landline
for
reservation
,but
after
repeated
attempts
there
was
no
response
.
As
it
was
early
evening
approx
7
pm,we
decided
to
walk
in
.
We
were
lucky
to
get
a
table
indoors
.
Outdoor
seating
area
was
a
bit
too
humid
for
our
liking
in
Mid
April
,though
it
offers
a
picturesque
view
of
the
Arabian
Sea
.
It
might
be
a
better
option
during
monsoons
or
august
to
feb.
The
ambiance
is
lovely
,
dim
lights
all
around
(so
much
that
we
had
to
use
our
phone
torch
to
read
the
menu).
We
ordered
the
following-
Drinks
Sangria
Blanc-
Rs
750-
Good
Heineken
-
Rs
400
Kingfisher
Ultra
Rs
350
Soho
Mule
-Rs
850-
Very
Good
Food
(
Starters
and
Mains
)
-Calamari
Fritti
(
Squids
)
-
Rs
475-
for
me
,this
dish
was
star
of
the
night!
Squids
is
quite
a
tricky
dish
to
nail
,I
have
seen
many
restaurants
fumble
with
it.
However
the
squids
here
were
crunchy
and
juicy,
balanced
in
terms
of
spices
and
cooked
to
perfection
.
Chicken
Paillard
-
Rs
525-was
thinly
sliced
and
too
oily
for
my
liking
.Avoidable.
Chicken
Milanese-
Rs575
-
excellent
,fried
and
tender
,good
portion
too
.
Grilled
Prawns
-
Rs
1050-
excellent
,fresh
jumbo
prawns.
Red
Snapper-
Rs
950-
Excellent
.
Baked
Gnocchi
Romana-
Rs
525-
excellent
,in
close
competition
to
the
squids
.
Mushroom
Pizza-
Rs
990
-very
good
(
we
would
have
preferred
chicken
but
they
did
not
have
any
chicken
option
in
pizza
which
was
surprising
).
Linguine
Pasta
-
Rs
675-
Very
good
.Again
veg
as
no
pasta
option
in
poultry.
Angel
Hair
Prawns
Pasta-
Rs
1200
-
excellent
.
Dessert-
Profiteroles
,vanilla
gelato
-
Rs
475
-excellent
and
fabulous
presentation
.
Taxes
additional.Service
was
all
right
,could
have
been
better
.
Our
attendant
was
not
able
to
explain
the
dishes
too
well
,
Menu
had
no
description
which
didn't
help
either
.
Luckily
most
of
what
we
ordered
was
liked
by
us.
The
place
was
packed
around
8
pm
,
prior
reservation
highly
advisable.
