The restaurant is stunning with a stylish atmosphere. The owner was present and very welcoming, even going out of his way to open the front door for us and help us find our reservation. However, I would advise against going near closing time. We had a 9:45 reservation (the restaurant closes at 11) and it felt a bit dull. It wasn't as lively as we had hoped, and we were seated next to a noisy group of ladies who were laughing and talking loudly throughout our dinner. Our waitress disappeared for over 20 minutes, while the women next to us were getting multiple visits and even received complimentary shots, which we weren't offered. The food was fantastic, with generous portions and strong drinks. We may have just picked the wrong night at the wrong time. Since it's in our neighborhood, we are willing to give it another try!
I went to Samui during #EatThaiVisitThai Restaurant Week expecting to receive the special price advertised on OpenTable, but the restaurant did not honor it. After receiving conflicting information from 3 different waitstaff members, I asked to speak to the manager. The manager listened to my concerns about the long drive my group took to try their food, but when she spoke to the owner, he began to lie and backtrack on his statements. When I mentioned leaving a negative review, the owner accused us of trying to blackmail them for a discount. Shocked and disappointed, we decided to leave. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. Their business practices are horrendous.
The staff at this restaurant is extremely friendly and were able to accommodate us even though we arrived just 45 minutes before closing time. The food is superb, with each dish having distinct flavors. In many Thai restaurants, the dishes can all taste the same, but not here. The food had a complexity that really stood out. The papaya salad, although not as spicy as expected, was still delicious.
Very upscale interior, located in a very unsuspecting place. From the outside, you get the sense of a lively venue. Once you reach inside, you are immersed in a luxurious experience. From the rose shaped napkins, to the blue velvet seating, you really feel like you're at a place that cares about your experience there. The (3) individual bathrooms are huge inside, with none other than a continuation of the luxurious experience. The food was very tasty and you definitely will not be let down by the taste and quality of presentation. I highly recommend!!
