Sampled the upstairs / outdoors dining area last night, a pleasant experience, though better planning would have provided a bit more ambience. They had a loud morlam affair across the street, and a bit intrusive, if allowing it to bother you. As
usual, too loud, as when leaving, noticed a live musician at restaurant, and didn’t even realize he was there, as my back was toward him. I was thinking that being up so high, would eliminate completely, any traffic noises, but before the affair at the park got started, I could still hear mb’s and tuk tuks going by, a bit surprising, though a bit of background music would drown them out. We did arrive 6 ish, and leaving about 8 ish.
Barring that, a fine night. Food had good flavor, though lacking a bit of substance. Was not overpriced, though top end of the udon market, and if having a bit more substance, would have been a decent value for the venue.
We sampled Tom Kha Gai, Yellow Curry Squid, Spicy soup, and the Club Sandwich (Ree’s choice).. Think all were 120 ish baht. I had a glass of house white, 150, along with sherbet, 45, afterwards.
Main question, would we return, and that got a unanimous no, nothing negative, but also nothing positive enough to warrant a return. My favorite venue by the other lake would have been more rewarding and just as lovely ambience. IMHO.
Menu starts at about 80 ish baht for fried rice dishes, and 250 ish for fish and seafood, and I think topping out at 350 /
450 for eye steak / T-bone, if a risk taker. Was tempted, but always disappointed, so took my own advice and passed that idea.
Was a nice change, maybe a special event, or sample once, to see if it’s for you? Not overpriced and maybe some other entrees were a better value. VAT and service charge is included in bill, though change was provided, tempting one to tip, and if service would of warranted that, maybe a bit more left on the table. Service was courteous and prompt, until food was served, that a bit scant. Empty when we arrived, and 2 other tables occupied when we left, with a couple more arriving. Maybe people waiting till the 14th to indulge. They did give us a Valentine’s Day flyer, 1999 baht for food and drinks for 2, so not too bad, since saying drinks instead of ‘a’ drink. 2 people could do 1000 baht just on wine, though not really complimenting Thai food. A rather good white though.
