If you are not all that hungry and wouldn’t mind a classic setting to have a quiet conversation with friends or a date, The Polo Club at The Oberoi, is the place where you should be.
The ambiance is awesome, very close to nature, literally overlooking the large banyan tree (which gets lit in the nights) and you can actually hear the water gushing in the pond alongside…and see the fish shine as they swim past you and stuff. If it is winter and if you would rather avoid the Bangalore chill, they also have indoor seating. The tables are placed a good distance from each other, which is very welcome especially when you want to escape the more usual up-tempo club scene in the city (or are just trying to gracefully accept the fact that you are too late to enter one and get decent seating!) 
This bar and restaurant admittedly has a modest menu, with a relatively wide range of starters and desserts, but only about 5 entrées (very little to choose from, really!). Lasagna is the safest bet, and tastiest too, in an extra cheesy kind of way, priced at around Rs. 475 and Tiramisu among the deserts. They sometimes have chef’s specials for a particular season, like they did this year for Valentines Day – they had a month long celebration of strawberry based desserts – all very tastefully presented and yum too.
The prices are little on the up side, but a group of three can comfortably have a fine dining experience within Rs.1500 with 1 starter, 2 entrées (unless you have a very healthy appetite, you will struggle to finish all of it), 1 desert and 3 drinks (if you are a teetotaler, the lassi is a hot favorite, and is so creamy that you can sip just on it the whole time and still walk out satiated!).
However, if you do you get there and hear your stomach growling for a sumptuous meal, you can walk a little ahead into their alfresco Thai restaurant, Rim Naam, which serves some lip smacking gourmet Thai food in the same beautiful setting.
The Polo club is open from 10 am to 11 pm. Once you are there, be prepared to bump into some business celebrities!
The Oberoi is on M.G. Road.
