For one, I feel the smoking ban has reduced the number of patrons frequenting HRC. Although it was a Wednesday evening, I've been there on weekdays too and the place used to be pretty well occupied, although one might not have require to wait for a table.
I feel the acoustics have been worked upon and have improved. I was quite taken aback during my first few visits to HRC - the acousitcs were so bad that you almost did not hear the music.
I tasted a Belgian beer - Chimay Blue Label - priced @ INR350 for a pint - which was refreshingly different and unlike any other beer I'd had...probably close to a Guiness stout but without the same texture and less caramelly.
The Indian food offering of Chicken curry with rice was horrendous. It was pieces of boiled chicken cut and mixed with a spicy tomato / garlic based gravy. Unlike a typical dish where the chicken is cooked in the gravy itself. The less said about this dish the better.
The Haystack Chicken salad on the other hand was tasty and light and went well with the drinks. Lots of chicken, some tortilla strips and lotsa veggies.
I will certainly be visiting this place again but...stick to non-Indian main courses if you plan to eat.
