    Fine dining in a most unexpected uni campus area. I was impressed by the starters, which were made of seafood but so fresh and well executed that I did not sense any fishiness usually found in seafood. All the dishes that followed were such a delight to the palette. We will definitely come back, most likely for lunch to try out the lunch sets, which offer smaller sets at a reasonable deal.

    Water Library Central Embassy is an exceptional restaurant that I had the pleasure of dining at recently. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel right at home. The elegant and sophisticated ambiance, combined with the attentive and knowledgeable staff, set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. As we perused the menu, it was clear that the chefs at Water Library Central Embassy take great pride in their craft. We started with the lobster bisque soup, which was a true work of art. The soup was velvety smooth, with a rich and complex flavor that left us wanting more. For our main courses, we opted for the rack of lamb and the lobster ravioli. The lamb was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful crust and a tender and juicy interior. The accompanying sides of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables were the perfect complement. But the real star of the show was the lobster ravioli. Each bite was a burst of flavor, with tender chunks of lobster meat wrapped in delicate pasta and served with a luscious and creamy sauce. Throughout the meal, the staff provided us with top-notch service, attending to our every need and making sure that we were completely satisfied. And when it was time for dessert, they brought out a beautifully decorated cake to celebrate my mother's birthday, which made the evening even more special. In summary, Water Library Central Embassy is a restaurant that truly delivers on all fronts. The food is exceptional, the service is outstanding, and the ambiance is sophisticated and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

    Very posh place for lunch and dinner. Reasonable priced lunch set and great dinner menu. The foods are well crafted and taste very good. The pastries and cold pasta taste very good here and the grill seabass is really second to none. However, the price is relatively high for appetizers but okay for main course. It also offer testing menu. Overall, great place to dine out.

    This is a fine dining restaurant. The dishes that they serve here are eye pleasing and very delicious. You will need to spend sometime to eat all the dishes. It is a bit pricy!

    We went for Le Festif set menu and we were not disappointed. From the Amuse Bouche to the main course and through to dessert, petit fours, and a petit five, this 11 course degustation menu is amazing. Overseen by Austrian Chef Oliver, the cuisine is of the highest standard and is a total taste sensation. We particularly enjoyed the Hokkaido Scallop, Chilean Seabass and Japanese Wagyu plates, all top class. Finished off with an Irish coffee. Perfect.

    Year in year out Chef Miako’s cuisine has always exceeded my expectations. Packed with flavor and intensity, yet purity of flavors. In my opinion, one of the best in Thailand.

    Love the foie gras. Highly recommended the chocolate cake. Friendly and attentive service. Good cocktails and wine. Nice place for drinking.

    Have I ever told you why I love this place? ❤️ Chilean sea bass, tofu, cold pasta, mushroom soup and apple tart (and chili chocolate ice cream) are the best even before they put in this restaurant’s menus. It’d been a legendary and history of fine dining-kind. Ask me or ask the owner. Come here for nice and comfort foods.

    Just had the set festive menu. What an amazing experience! The food, setting and service here are 1st class. A hidden gem on the 5th floor of Central Embassy 😋😋😋

    We had a great time at Water Library for a late lunch! They surprised us with a tasty amuse-bouche, served delicious bread, and ended our meal on a sweet note. The staff provided top-notch service, and their wine options were great. We particularly enjoyed the Riesling from Mosel, served in Zalto glassware. It's definitely worth a visit!

    Very excellent lunch set👌🏻 perfect for a light but delicious meal. As always, their Homemade Tofu is a knock-out must-try appetiser with their amazing foie gras sauce😋

    I love this restaurant though it is high-priced but worh spending once in a while. The service was excellent. The staffs did pay attention to details and gave a brief for each serve. Each dish was cooked delicately with every little details. They provided an appitizer and little dessert for free. There might not be a varierty of choices like the Brasserie by Water Library (at Central Embassy) but the food was far beyond expectation.

    I first tried this chef s dishes more than 10++years when he moved to thailand. It was this little place in Langsuan named after the singapore boutique hotel that the chef used to work (I heard, and I don’t remember the name). The food was so impressive then but it was not very popular and after that place closed then the chef moved to work at water library. The food taste exceptional and well presented. The quality of ingredients used is top notch and the way to cook is delicate and unpretentious. The service is polite and attentive. The deco is quite old and not of current style so it may need a renovation to bring back the five stars feeling. My recent visit though showed not much change in the menu despite many years passed and some dishes were a bit too sweet to my taste. However, surely it is one of the better choices for western cuisine in Bangkok.

    Great fine dinning restaurant. Service was excellent. I had a Taster set with more than 15 samplers including Chef's complements. Wine here are very reasonable price, or bring your own with NO corkage charge. Do not be discourage walking through a mall with many university student. Restaurant has beautiful decore. Reasonable prices.
