Last Friday I finally had the opportunity to live up to the famous Friday saying "Thank Goodness its Friday" in T.G.I.F! :P :P
It is a premium America casual restaurant chain serving variety of dishes from the American cuisine.
As soon as you enter the place, you get a feel of more like that of a formal fine dining place.
But their seating arrangement is pretty much sorted and spread over a huge area.
The section right by the door has a screen where they were screening some matches. There were few musical instruments like the guitar, synthesizer,piper instilled on the wall which is very eye catchy. The section is more like dedicated to the music - the wall opposite the door has a fixture of the piano on it. Wow!
They have an extended indoor seating plus you can also chose to sit right by the bar. There is a section dedicated to accommodate the larger groups. One of the walls around here was filled with funky posters of various Hollywood movies - filmy!! The other wall had a huge flag of America and was sporting the pins, pool balls.
They do boost of a widespread alfresco seating - right under the dark sky with twinkling stars. It was quite relaxing outside.
The place is dimly lighted.
In total the ambiance of the place is a blend of dynamic, musical ,sporty, fancy and reflects the modern New York, Manhattan sort of character.
We were initially seated inside but eventually we moved out as the evening passed by.
Personally I liked their alfresco seating the most - since it was breezy and offered a scenic view of Amanora & the busy Hadapsar roads. :)
It is located in the Seasons Mall.
Coming to the food, for appetizers we ordered the CHICKEN NACHOS , CHICKEN WINGS and the SEA FOOD PLATTER.
The chicken nachos were very heavily stuffed with chicken fillings. They were topped with cheese,chicken, jalapenos and some salads.The chicken topping were too tangy in taste.
It looked yummy, but the tangy taste did not go well with me - yet I would say the dish was good.
The chicken wings were juicy and damn tasty.
The sea food platter was really liked by my friends, well appreciated - myself never too keen on sea food. :)
For main course, I ordered for the VEG PASTA - one word disaster. Too bland, and for some reason did not look appealing too.
But man, the music at the place was just too awesome, kudos to the DJ here. I was in love with all the songs that were being played - a perfect setting for a Friday night.
Another plus point is that they are open till midnight, and they don't shoo you away as soon as the clock strikes 12! :P :P
But it was little disappointing to see such less crowd on a Friday night in T.G.I.F.
The service was little slow the day we went there. But the staff is courteous, and they adhere to your request with a smile.
Not to mention about the numerous options in their menu welcoming you to the world of American food.
More points for the ambiance and music, and a 3.5 solely for the disappointing veg pasta. :|

Another review for this place - came here on the 24th evening here. And as one would expect every restaurant to be, the place was really crowded - everyone was here to party and celebrate.
We choose to be seated in the alfresco seating. We were a group of 5-6 people and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening with the enthralling music,food and ambiance. :) :)
We ordered for the CHICKEN WINGS 12 pieces - tangy mix of chicken wings, damn tasty.
We kind of repeated some orders from our previous visits, since they have become our favorite now- the SEA FOOD PLATTER was also ordered yet again - absolutely loved it. This is a must dish for all the sea food lovers!
Another sea food dish was the FISH FINGER with French fries - another favorite among st us.It had a crunch factor on the outside and the soft tender fish in the inside. The mayonnaise was the taste enhancer.
Then came in the CHEESE GARLIC BREAD, serving four - loved every bite of it,filled with goodness of soft melting cheese and garlic yummy. An absolute delight. :)
Next in line was the sizzling CHICKEN MEXICALL - this was a mouthwatering stunning dish. A mix of beautifully cooked, well marinated pieces of chicken breast, served in a sizzler plate. It came along with rice, onions, peppers as accompaniments. All the accompaniments and the added flavors from the herbs were hugely complimenting the dish - blockbuster hit. Due to dim lighting I couldn't see much, but it did have loadssss of melted butter in it.
In all ,I liked the food this time specifically - it was lip smacking.
I am just in love with the songs the DJ plays here - most of them my favorite numbers. Only annoying thing with the alfresco seating is the music clashes with the music played in WTF/Fly high. :P Both the restaurants playing loud music becomes quite a mixture - yet is fun sometimes.
The service was little slow - blame it on the throng of people. I wouldn't deny they were trying their level best to service well and keep everyone happy and content. :)
The servers are an energetic bunch. There were two birthday celebrations, and they were singing with so much josh, they made the birthday boy or girl stand up on the chair, and sang in full melody - it was an interesting song, different from the usual HPD.
They have started some stripes initiative, where you need to register on a number and then you can avail some offers against your registration. For every 100 bucks you spend you can collect some stripes, and when you have collected enough you can reuse them for ordering some dishes for free. Interesting and unique way to keep people grooved.
For my this visit, I would definitely give it a 4.0 rating. :) :) It was way better than my last visit.

The COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN - an absolutely delectable piece of tender, juicy chicken deep fried in a crumbly batter. It was served along with extra delicious mashed potato, few exotic veggies and half a baked corn - added flavors were from the herbs sprinkled atop.
The FISH AND CHIPS as usual never fails to impress - delicious! :)
The staff was courteous and attending.
