Table of tales

Tried out the newly opened "Table of Tales" at Hennur. The place is close to my home and is part of Table 365 F&B complex. The overall ambience was interesting with too many things happening.. Lot of interesting art works but didn't gel to give a soothing feel. The food was ok but expensive.
