    My darling, how do I loathe thee, let me count the ways: One, half the items on the menu are not available, a fact you do not learn until you try to order something. In the end, you are restricted to a small handful of undesirable items that don’t sell well. Although your menu lists several bottled beers and several draft beers, almost none of them are actually available. There are absolutely zero draft beers available, and only a few of the bottled beers. So you are consigned to taking your second or third choice. Your beer is old and stale. They are past their sell by date. The Chiang beer I ordered was flat as a tabletop, with no bubbles at all. When I complained and asked for a different beer, I was charged for the undrinkable first beer, as well as the new beer. My dining partners have the exact same experience. The food was not cooked in the manner I requested. I requested a tenderloin steak cooked medium, but the steak as delivered, was purple and nearly raw in the middle. It more resembled a cow with a slight fever. I am The food ordered by my partner was nearly inedible, with far too much pesto glopped onto the few grilled vegetables that comprised the dish. A patron at a nearby table had ordered fried fish, and when it was served, she tried without success to put a fork into it. She finally resorted to breaking it apart with her hands. The restaurant was understaffed. While those who were at work worked hard, there were not nearly enough of them. The result was extended, waits for anything, and forgotten requests. We had to request a glass for our beers several times before one was actually delivered 15 minutes later. This was about as bad a restaurant experience as I have ever had. While the restaurant interior looks lovely and the street side location is good, I suggest sneaking in your own beer and food, but not ordering from their menu. Otherwise, I do not just not recommend this restaurant, I recommend avoiding it.

    Loads of complaints about the food, but fortunately I got what I wanted, a Thai dish. So yeah, not much can go wrong with that. Also the fried pork I got as a starter wasn't bad, and because I never ate it before I was happy with it. Although this isn't the best restaurant I have been it's not bad. We were able to sit comfortable with a big group of people so, that's a plus! Although, I hope they will improve service and food quality, cause everybody deserves that!

    Decent food, nice beer and alcoholic beverages selection, really nice siting area with fans and shadow allowing to cool down. You need to wait a few moments for the menu, but once you place an order food is ready in no time.

    When we arrived we looked at the western part of the menu and they indicated that you could eat both. This was important since a few people in our group like to eat that. Once we were seated we were told that you could only order the thai dishes. Little choice, no taste and the worst pad thai I have eaten in my life. Also the most expensive. Even the fries we left out because they were so cooked it looked like I was eating a shoe sole. The cocktails looked good but there was very little alcohol in them. It's really a tourist trap because it looks so nice from the outside. Terrible and disappointing.... :(

    I sat there with my partner, the place wasn't full. The waiters took their time with giving us the menu. What ended up happening next is that they gave him the drinks menu, while they handed me the food one. Upon exchanging the menus, we noticed that in the drinks menu on none of the pages there was written 7% VAT... While in the food menu, it was written on every page at the bottom that you need to pay 7% VAT on top of the price you see in the menu. No one mentioned this, plus it's easy to think there's no extra VAT required if you don't look closely. Since we don't appreciate this & believe it's deceiving, we walked out without ordering anything.

    First of all, the atmosphere is good and the bathroom is clean. You have to wait at least 15 minutes once you come in and the server receives the order, compared to the huge solicitation in front of the store. The store is big, but the server has only 3-4 people, so it takes quite a long time for food or drinks to come out.

    Okay, so to be fair the food was lit. But! The customer service. First, we ordered a beer, the wrong brand of beer came out. Second, we order chicken cashew nut without mushroom and it had shrooms. Third, my girlfriend ordered green curry fried rice and just green curry with a side of rice came. Fourth, the waitress set down a cup of ice wayyyyy on the other end of table and walked off without a glance or smile in our direction. Though, with all this in mind, the chicken cashew, green curry and spring rolls were awesome! We just weren’t impressed with the service. We didn’t even take a picture of the food we were so upset haha maybe you’ll have a better experience than we did πŸ™

    First of all, we waited 15 minutes for someone to ask us what are we going to order. Then waited an our (!) for our dinner. The only reason we did not left was that we were really hungry and the server said every ten minutes: just two more minutues waiting. The food was okay, nothing special, so I planned to give 3 stars. We ordered dessert, the server said she is not sure that they have waffles, she is going to check it. After 20 minutes we asked for receipt, she said the waffels are ready. After 10 more minutes she said no waffels - 2 stars. Okay, just the receipt than. She overcharged us with 140 baht - 1 star, no tips. I would not recommend the restaurant.

    While the restaurant boasts a fantastic ambiance, I believe the Thai cuisine it offers caters more to a Western palate rather than an authentic Asian experience. In my opinion, I can easily find more authentic and flavorful Thai dishes in Singapore compared to this establishment.

    Nipped in here a couple of times for a drink - you can generally get a decent seat compared to a lot of other bars nearby (probably because the reviews are so bad). It’s a little more expensive for a beer than nearby bars (it was 160 or 170 for 660ml bottle depending on when we went) but unless you’re on a really, really tight budget you’re not going to notice. Clean toilets. Very weird giant picture inside.

    Good prices and friendly service. We tried to chase away the mosquitos, and Waitress gave us some repellent for free. We didn’t ask for It, So It was nice. Try the local dishesh, west-style breakfast set was nice only at the picture. Thai breakfast and dinner were a lot better.

    Just stopped in for a couple of drinks while out for the evening with my girlfriend. Wasn't super crowded or noisy so we could relax and have a conversation without shouting at each other. The name of the place made it seem like a fun spot to take a break. Cocktails were fine and the service was decent. Overall, a fine spot to take a break and watch the happenings on Ram Buttri.

  • 3/5 Patrick B. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 24 reviews New
    First the positive, the atmosphere is great. Loved the courtyard/garden style layout and the live music. The food is ok for the price, a bit poor on flavor. I guess the mainly cater for European tour groups. Unfortunately, the did not have some of the things on the menu. What bothered me was the bill that was wrong and and the return money was also too little. I would assume an honest but annoying none the less. All in all a mixed experience, not sure whether I would recommend this restaurant.

  • 4/5 Christian B. 6 months ago on Google
    Very chill place. You can spend some hours and observe people walking by Rambuttri. The food we had was not very good. But other dishes looked nice. Beer prices are reasonable and the music selection is nice. Good place if you wanna hang out with a friend and chat for a while.

  • 3/5 Carol S. 5 months ago on Google
    Even Thai food was ordinary. Do not order western food because you will be disappointed. Another big bear of mine is people smoking around others while they are eating. What can you do about some Europeans who do not consider that I don't want to inhale their cigarette smoke.

  • 1/5 Ed 9 months ago on Google
    Food is really really bad quality. I mean it really cant not come any worst than this! Worst food i ever eaten in Thailand. Pizza was ok.. tasted like a pretty decent frozen pizza from market. But ridiculous price! Frozen thai food from 7-eleven alot better and frozen pizza from there pretty much same!

  • 1/5 Arild E. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad management.. Short of staff for a popular resturant. Long waiting for service and drinks. Appertizer /starter come after main meal. Rude behavior from staff when point out . Many option on menu not have and my left my starter as the did not accept to cancel it after main meal arrive. Offers toilet paper in bathroom to dry hands. And street vendors come pushing scorpions up tour face when eating. Sorry to giv 1 stat but no option for 0 star

  • 2/5 Elisa Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We came for lunch, unfortunately a lot of things in the menu were not available. Food was not very special. We had to wait a long time for it to come. The fish we had was good though. The restaurant itselfs looks nice and comfy.

  • 2/5 christophe G. 4 years ago on Google
    POSITIVE: Food very tasty, servers smile. NEGATIVE: (1). The foods arrives after 44min to 1h++. (2) The dish does not arrives together. (3) the waitress forget some dish (the 1st I told her for 1 min, pointing with my finger on the menu) so mystep-dad had no food at all. (4) They remove the dish when you are not done (I turn my head to speak to my wife, and my soup 75% full was gone !). (5) They made me pay when we were all not done eating. We tried the restaurant once as couple when it was almost empty, and once with family when it was full. They made all these mistakes twice no matter crowded or empty. TO THE BOSS: You have tasty food, nice decorations, friendly team, so just hire 2 more cookers to be faster, and brief your team with better process: *better note writing technic , *Ask before removing a dish , *bring the bill when a group finished eating, or wait them to ask. (PS: menu correction : "french frieS" πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΅πŸŸ not "french frieD" πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΅πŸ₯΅πŸ”₯).

  • 3/5 Eduardo R. 1 year ago on Google
    Value is good, environment, and service as well. The few things I have to mention are the serve of chips on the side of the fish and chips was a bit sad, I also sat on a seat that had a nail or some sort of pointy metal sticking out of it, I notified the waitress, there was no duty of care, had to get my own new chair, then they put the chair at another table instead of fixing it or removing it all together.

  • 1/5 Daniel J. 2 years ago on Google
    Took forever to get the food and the tenderloin medium rare was more like a piece of a shoe sole... Better places around there.

  • 4/5 Heather B. 1 year ago on Google
    A chill place to sit and grab something to eat or drink. Reasonably priced for the area and decent food. They are often out of several options so don't get your heart set on anything. Pretty clean and fairly friendly (usually a little slow).

  • 1/5 Lisa K. 1 year ago on Google
    Disgusting! The food was terrible. This black sauce there was supposed to be sweet/sour but it tastes like bitter medicine. 🀒 never again!

  • 3/5 Robert A. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped here because I was hungry and it was the first place I stumbled across. Pretty typical tourist trap. Atmosphere is really nice but food is fair at best and prices are a bit higher than average. I requested my pad thai extra spicy and it was milder than any pad thai I've ever had in the States πŸ˜‚ Overall not a bad place to relax and cool down with some drinks after walking around but save your appetite for the street vendors for much better, cheaper, and more authentic food.

  • 3/5 Guillaume B. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant, food is good and not too expensive. Service on the other hand is not great, had to wait 30 minutes to get our dishes, no waiters were speaking English. Better come to a not busy time though.

  • 4/5 Can S. A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, one of my fav places close to Khaosan Road. If you stay close to that road, you might wanna check that place out.

  • 4/5 Kevin P. 5 years ago on Google
    The staff was really lost the day we went forgetting some of the orders and being unaware of waiting clients. But other than that the food was nice with an interesting and theatrical flaming chicken and the ambient is really engaging

  • 2/5 Frank 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place to sit. Service and food mediocre. You will find better value for your money. Curry ok (not good), Pasta bad and Morning Glory the worst I had in Thailand. Beer from the tab which is nice, but old when it gets served. Only eat here when you absolutely must sit at exactly this spot. Actually that is exactly what they are doing. Making money (which is ok) from their location instead from location, food AND service. Which is not ok.
