Patio Venue is a part of Plataran group, the well-known company who owns various properties and high end Indonesian restaurants all named Plataran, and this restaurant is one that's slightly different to the rest of the siblings from its concep and food highlights. If Plataran restaurants normally focuses on local Indonesian cuisine, Patio also serves that, but with various Italian-Western cuisines on the menu too!
Patio Venue is this combination of glamorous and zen, upon entering the restaurant, you'll be pampered with the lush green plants surrounding the restaurant, and on the time of my visit, it was raining very hard so it kinda enhance the vibey experience, and one thing for sure, absolutely homey.
Receptionist and servers to escort you to the seats, reservation is not necessary but suggested.
Grand piano on the center area of the restaurant
They also have this mini-bar area incase you want to have the slightly more casual experience. They have selections of mocktail, cocktails and liquors here.
Table setting was simple and neat, the main dining area was spacious and private events can be done here. I like the touch of class of this restaurant yet without appealing overly intimidating,
Mentioned earlier that the food here is mainly selections of Indonesian and Western-Italian food with reasonable price range from IDR 55k-IDR 1.5 mil (pretty reasonable price for Coute of Beof to be honest). Indulge of various appetizers, soups, pizza, pasta, mains and desserts they have in store.
Bresaola Salad - IDR 79k
Now this is a simple delicacy that's delicious! Classic, humble, friendly!
The pizzas here are baked in this traditional wood fire oven and there's actually an open kitchen at the back area of this restaurant where you can experience first hand the production process. I've always loved when pizza's made this way I just feel this additional excitement towards it (and eating it).
This Rendang pizza was pretty rich in terms of seasoning and that's obviously a good thing because I can't stand underseasoned Rendang pizza it's almost an insult for me. The thin crust was beautifully firm and properly dense, the generous Rendang cuts were quite tender,
I think Patio Venue gained my respect as one of the recommended places to have Italian food in town, their food rings simple, some are humble, some are exquisite, but everything that I had (and judging from this visit) was delicious. Service was top notch friendly and attentive, really what's not to love.
