    The floating restaurant located in downtown krabi. This place is such a good for dinner. Their view and atmosphere is outstanding! They also have live music for a good vibe. Food serving is very fast,well managed. But the tasting is below average. Should be more intense.

    We eat there yesterday. There was a live band and we enjoyed the music. But the food was not good. Also the staff was not really friendly. One steward took our Moskito spray and gave it to another guest even thought we told him it was ours. All in all not really recommended.

    Could be a lot better. Staff are very enthusiastic but unfortunately need to be trained to be professional. Good location with live music, however need to improve services at all levels. Reservation is essential especially dinner.

    Good atmosphere to chill out from the tiring day. The food is fresh, delicious and not expensive at all. The service is excellent. I would recommend to book the table in advance and be there before the sunset.

    I would say this was the most crowded restaurant in Krabi when we visited the city last week! Awesome taste of food, unique location and wonderful music performance. You won’t be disappointed to give a try when you visit Krabi!

    Food is good. Service not. Main Course at first and then the starters. Atmosphere is also good.

    If you are in Krabi Town, love seafood and have the time, then this riverside restaurant is a must visit. Some of the best seafood we have ever had that won't make too much of a dent to your wallet. It gets very busy so our advice would be to book ahead; around sunset and waterside table, you won't be disappointed. Two of us shared the set 1790 baht menu and ordered rice and fries on the side and a few drinks, total cost 2250 baht. A similar restaurant in the west would be x3 at least! Wonderful experience and we will visit again before we leave.

    Nice, breezy riverside restaurant, popular with tourists and locals alike. Food is good, but ambience is better. We were there on a Sunday night and there’s a live Saxophone performance, which was a nice surprise.

  • 3/5 christopher P. 5 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Food are medium to big portion but can be a bit pricy. Food is 3/5 and can find more tasty food elsewhere.Can accommodate to vegan upon requests. Good view and ambiance for bistro vibes and hangout place. Friendly staff. Live saxophone and band but can be a bit loud Few foreigners as it is quite local.

    Relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff, extremely delicious food. Great price-performance ratio. Shouldn't be missed. Eating on the river at night. Perfect atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Anna H. 3 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    The best food we had in Thailand, the pomelo salad snd the soft shell crab were amazing, I’d totally recommend it for the layover in Krabi. We even went twice, on our way to the southern islands and back!

  • 5/5 Jörg K. 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Food was good, portions OK in relation to the price. Service is also good and you sit very nicely with a view of the water. Nothing to complain.

  • 5/5 Anna J. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good. Food labled as spicy is spicy and everything is fragrant and well seasoned! Nice staff !

  • 3/5 Matthew B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was average at best for Thailand. They had really annoying singers when we went, if there was anywhere else open at that time, we'd have left and gone there instead. Over priced for the quality of the food.

  • 5/5 Sutin S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a restaurant with a great view. Describing the atmosphere is very good, taste good, use fresh food with clams, very delicious. Even though I had to order 2 more dishes, I ordered the grilled blue crab, it was ok, but I would recommend ordering the steamed crab, the meat is sweeter. I have never eaten burnt blue crab so try to order. Today the water is a little dry. Make the boat tilt a little But it does not affect the placement of food or drinks at all. (Original) เป็นร้านอาหารที่วิวสวยมาก บรรยายกาศริมน้พดีมากไ รสชาติดีนะ ใช้ของสดด้วย หอยแคลงอร่อยมาก ถึงกับต้องสั่งเพิ่มอีก 2 จานเลย สั่งปูม้าเผาไปก็ ok อยู่ แต่แนะนำให้สั่งปูม้านึ่งจะดีกว่าเนื้อจะหวานกว่า พอดีไม่เคยกินปูม้าเผาเลยลองสั่งดู วันนี้ไปน้ำแห้งไปนิด ทำให้เรือเอียงนิดหน่อย แต่ก็ไม่ได้กระทบกับการวางอาหารหรือเครื่องดื่มเลย

    (Translated by Google) The restaurant is a Thai joint. As a foreigner, I felt undesirable. The service was rude. Even communication with my wife (Thai) didn't work. At first I was told that there is no western food. The grilled fish was very dry and the sauce was so hot that even the smallest amounts of it all tasted hot. (Original) Das Restaurant ist ein Thai Joint. Als Ausländer fühlte ich mich unerwünscht. Die Bedienung war unfreundlich. Selbst die Kommunikation mit meiner Frau (Thai) funktionierte nicht. Zuerst wurde mir gesagt, das es kein Western Food gibt. Der gegrillte Fisch war sehr trocken und die Soße so scharf, dass selbst bei kleinsten Mengen alles nur noch scharf schmeckte.

  • 5/5 Jose Jacobo Inarejo C. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for lunch and it was incredible. The food is outstanding, super tasty and delicious. The place is soooo cool, the experience was great! The only remark I have is to teach the waitresses to not stare at the people while eating. There is no need to fill my cup if it is half full and no need to stand next to me all the time. (They were shooting for the menu when we where there)

  • 3/5 Elli D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very attentive servers. Did not get our order completely right, we ordered rice just for one person, but received for two persons. I ordered the prawns with chili and salt and received some with salt and a lot of fried garlic and onion. Was delicious, but no chili at all. My partner ordered the stir fried squid and it was too long cooked and very rubbery. But they tried their best, just don't expect top much. The music was nice and not distracting and I liked the location at the riverfront.

  • 3/5 Gre E. 1 year ago on Google
    Like for many upper price places in southeast Asia, the kitchen does not keep up with the price. The food is okay, but one could dine in better in many nearby places a lot cheaper. Service was friendly and nice, music was fine, location is nice, just the price for value regarding food is off.

  • 4/5 Maksim G. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice food, nice view, Thai style service. But really the only special is location. Mediocre in every other aspect.

  • 3/5 Thanya C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely but quite expensive. Not sure if lobsters were actually langoustines. Staff were quite pushy with us buying drinks. Ordered a set seafood menu for 1,700 baht with a ‘lobster’ each for another 500 baht per person. All the dishes were lovely but none were impressive. The live music was great if a little loud. Atmosphere was great.

  • 1/5 Sulagna G. 4 years ago on Google
    Pathetic behavior by staff. They were literally snatching plates on the mid of the meal. Staff is enough to spoil the beautiful ambience and experience.

    It's long time of a restaurant in the River of Krabi Town, But now new renovated with live music and very delicious food. I can say it's a symbol or landmark of The River Restaurant. If you come to visit Krabi Town, don't forget to try the food and scenery here.

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful location and delicious food at very reasonable prices. Live music creates atmosphere and it does get busy. If you’d like an outside table I’d recommend booking ahead.

  • 2/5 Cedric DOS S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent food but the servers do not understand a word of English so the dialogue is very complicated! The fish is served to us without accompaniment and without the cutlery, we had to wait 20 minutes for the accompaniment. Too bad because the setting is nice and the live music pleasant. (Original) Cuisine excellente mais les serveurs ne comprennent pas un mot d’anglais le dialogue est donc très compliqué ! Le poisson nous est servi sans accompagnement et sans les couverts, nous avons du attendre 20 minutes pour l’accompagnement. Dommage car le cadre est sympathique et la musique live agréable.

    (Translated by Google) Have a chance to go during the new year 1 Jan 63 in the afternoon, the sun is still hot But the atmosphere at the shop is just right Outside, the wind blows through the view, inside there is aircon, but when the evening opens the door to get the wind. Medium flavor food Mango juice, full of mango meat, no ice, good taste, little staff, maybe because it's not yet dinner, but good service, medium price, can be recommended to reserve a table for dinner-dinner (Original) มีโอกาสไปช่วงปีใหม่1มค.63 ช่วงบ่ายๆ แสงแดดยังร้อน แต่บรรยากาศที่ร้านกำลังดี ด้านนอกลมพัดตลอด ชมวิว ด้านในมีแอร์ แต่พอช่วงเย็นก็เปิดประตูให้รับลม อาหารรสชาติกลางๆ น้ำมะม่วงแบบได้เนื้อมะม่วงเต็มๆไม่มีน้ำแข็ง อร่อยดี พนักงานน้อย อาจจะเป็นเพราะยังไม่ถึงเวลาdinner แต่บริการดี ราคากลางๆ รับได้ แนะนำจองโต๊ะสำหรับอาหารมื้อเย็น-ค่ำ

    Very kalm area. You can enjoy your food and drink peacefully

  • 1/5 Andrew P. 4 years ago on Google
    So I’m not one to usually write reviews but this is a special occasion, and I’m not going to waste any more time regarding this restaurant so I will try keep it short. Firstly we waited 45 mins for our food to arrive. We had all ordered burgers and as previously discussed we would be having “roasted” potatoes instead of fries, oh and a “large portion” too. So when the food arrived and we have mash potatoes, hardly even a spoonful, you can say we were a little surprised. However understanding there might have been a miss communication, we decided to ignore it. We waited 15 mins for our cutlery to arrive, even after a discussion with the head of staff who said we didn’t need them, it still took a further 5 mins. By which time our “roasted” potatoes were cold. Now we come to the bill. First attempt by the restaurant was completely wrong, this took us a while to figure out as they couldn’t translate the order. Second attempt was still over priced and after the bar staff laughed it off they then took off another 300bhat. Which was still a good 400bhat above the correct price. We got a discount and used it to get some nearby street food. Not that short, sorry.

  • 3/5 Thamonwan K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good atmosphere, live music as it is a pleasure to listen to, squid, salted egg and fried sea bass with fish sauce. The taste is a bit tasteless. Thod Mun fried donut shape, 50 ฿ per piece, quite large, typical taste. (Original) บรรยากาศดี ดนตรีสดเพราะ ฟังเพลินๆ ปลาหมึกไข่เค็ม และ ปลากระพงทอดน้ำปลา อร่อยค่ะ แต่ต้มยำกุ้งน้ำข้น รสชาติจืดไปหน่อย ทอดมันกุ้ง ปั้นทรงโดนัท ชิ้นละ 50฿ ก้อนค่อนข้างใหญ่ รสชาติทั่วๆ ไป

    A great floating restaurant on the river. There was a roof but the sides were open allowing great evening breezes. The Thai food was great...many choices. The staff were great. Our family had a great time. Also live music with a singer and guitarist was a bonus. Top spot.
