petercallen Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It has not been open very long and it was recommended by a friend and turned out to be a pleasant surprise It has a western and Thai menu and is quite reasonably priced We had Thai Food on our first visit which i found excellent, my wife enjoyed her food also, and if she says the food is good it must be good as she is a excellent cook of Thai food herself and not slow at telling people if she thinks the food is not up to her standards. The restaurant is clean, light and airy, some of the staff speak excellent English, all staff are friendly and courteous and ask you if you are enjoying your food, i am sure if you were not they would do something about it. It has a nice view over the seashell museum and there is plenty of parking, i notice a sign out front as we were leaving saying they had a happy hour between 5 and 7pm all beers it was either 45 or 55 baht. I will be trying the western food next visit and if its as good as the Thai food it will be our regular restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamnication Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Took wife and her family there tonight. Very friendly staff and the food was ok. Not super, but family said the food was fine and more was ordered. Will go back. I have had better food with horrible service, so this place is a refreshing difference.

F1fanatic Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I've been there a few times, but take-away food as the view is the main road - not my idea of a pleasant view. The food is pretty good and I like to support the place as its owned and run by a Thai couple, I believe. Just hoping it stays open as its also v convenient for me, but it always seems empty - so not hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I popped in there last night for a quick bite and noticed that the place was packed. After sitting for about 2 minutes, the waiter came up and told me there was a free buffet as there was a birthday celebration. One of the better free buffets with seafood, tom yam, mussels, chicken and fish. There weren't any balloons and I didn't see any advertising, so I wonder how all the balloon chasers found the place ?

Somtamnication Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Run by an Aussie (I think) and his Thai wife. His wife is usually behind the bar. While there with the village, he came up to me and asked if that was his phone (my son was playing with mine and the owner had left his on his table and walked away). But a nice guy.

petercallen Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 The lady who owns and runs the restaurant is Thai. She ran the tourist police office on the beach road in Patong for a long time and helped a lot of tourists who had problems and managed to solve a lot of them and they went away happy and thanked her for her help. She did this as a volunteer, was not payed to do it, just wanted to help both tourists and Thais and keep everyone happy. She is worried about the low season And wants to keep her staff on who she treats very well. The food and service is excellent and priced so Thais as well as expats can eat there It was her birthday recently and not only the invited people but any customer who came to the restaurant got to enjoy the free buffet. She is a very nice person and i hope she gets the support she needs to keep the restaurant open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
