Ah, Mumbai, the city that never seems to hit the snooze button! With its lively culture, breathtaking skyline, and countless experiences, it's always buzzing. Now, I've been a regular at the Four Seasons since 2014, so AER has been my go-to spot for a while. But stepping in after its recent makeover? Let's just say it was like reconnecting with an old friend who got a fabulous makeover.
Setting the Scene at AER
Stepping into the elevator, there was that familiar anticipation of a special evening ahead. When the doors opened at AER, it felt like walking into a dreamy rooftop party above the city. The sleek stone counters beautifully contrasted with the gentle light of the stylish floor lamps, creating an inviting atmosphere. And those views of Mumbai from up there? Simply breathtaking. With cozy seating, mood-setting lighting, and not one but two impressive bars, AER effortlessly combines modern style with timeless elegance. It's truly a class act.
Savoring Alexandre Renoue's Cocktail Magic
When it comes to crafting cocktails at AER, Alexandre Renoue is truly in a league of his own. Known for his creative twists and impeccable taste, every drink he makes tells a story. On my visit, I started with a lush, velvety cocktail that was pure perfection. And then came the "Mumbai Yacht Club," a refreshing blend that played with Lemon Gin, Strawberry Vermouth, Watermelon, Galgal, and Lalbaug Native Spices. Trust me, each sip was like a little adventure, showcasing Alexandre's genius. Whether you're new to the cocktail scene or a seasoned enthusiast, AER is a must-visit for a sensory treat.

Indulging in Culinary Delights
Pairing drinks with food is an art, and AER makes it look so effortless. Our dinner choices were a treat, from the juicy BBQ spare ribs and flavorful chicken tikka flatbread to the mouthwatering Truffle Cheese Khachapuri. Each dish perfectly complemented our drinks, creating a delightful balance of flavors. AER doesn't just stop at main courses; they offer a diverse range of small bites, sharing platters, and delectable desserts. To wrap up our meal, we savored the refreshing Pomegranate Granita alongside a zesty Passion Fruit Sorbet—a sweet ending that left a lasting impression.
Soaking in the Mumbai Magic
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Mumbai transformed into a shimmering spectacle, reminding me once again of its unparalleled charm. From AER, the city's heartbeat was palpable – a blend of timeless tradition and cutting-edge innovation, all set against the expansive sky. Every moment in India feels like a journey, especially here in Mumbai. It's thrilling to witness the constant evolution and growth. I feel truly fortunate to call this dazzling country home. Each visit to AER rekindles that sense of wonder, and I can't wait for the next visit to AER.
