  Everything was top notch. Great service, constant refills. Food was the star! I has the steak and the risotto and everything was 10/10, and dont skip the cookie with banana ice cream, one of the best desserts of my life! Also important to mention the space is beautiful and super cozy, great ambiance. Highly highly recommend

  This place keeps me coming back again and again. It has a wonderful casual fine-dining feel, with playful little bites and delicious food that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a culinary wonderland. The atmosphere is great, the staff are warm and friendly, and the chef is just as fun and welcoming. It’s perfect for larger groups, but there’s also a cosy hidden nook for a more intimate date. I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place—it’s an absolute gem and I couldn’t recommend it more.

  4 Sep 2026 Reservation + deposit paid in advance. 1. Restaurant forgot our booking → no explanation, no apology 2. Unpleasant smell from the ICE → noticed by all 4 of us 3. Poor service → can’t believe we paid a service charge for this. 4. Birthday cake served without the candles being lit → candles were lit in front of the birthday person without even saying “Happy Birthday”. 5. No apology or proper service recovery after our feedback * I normally never leave reviews, but I’m taking the time to write this because other customers have the right to know.. I also noticed several positive reviews appearing shortly after the negative reviews. I hope the restaurant focuses on fixing the actual problems, not just trying to hide real criticism. *** Oh, I also attached the uni photo. We paid another extra 990B for only uni part. Maybe the restaurant should clearly state how many grams are included. If we had known the portion size, we probably wouldn’t have ordered it. Honestly, I felt ripped off. (โดนเอาเปรียบ)

  Their service is so bad, it makes you forget the food is even good. I went to this restaurant with my friends to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing from the moment we arrived. When I gave the staff the name the reservation was under, they immediately told me there was no reservation under that name. They didn’t even consider that there might have been a mistake on their end, nor did they seem willing to go inside and double-check with the rest of the team. This was especially frustrating considering that we had already paid a 2,000-baht deposit. Not once did anyone apologize for the inconvenience. The food itself was generally very good. However, the ice had an unpleasant smell, and when the dishes were served, there wasn’t even a brief explanation of what we were being served. At restaurants in this price range, staff would normally notice when plates need to be changed and offer to replace them. Here, no one offered at all. During the entire meal, one person in our group eventually had to ask for a clean plate after waiting for quite some time. That was the only time any of our plates were replaced throughout the meal. What surprised me the most was how they handled the birthday cake. Usually, when you’re celebrating a birthday at a restaurant, the staff bring out the cake with the candles already lit and make at least a small effort to create a small birthday surprise. Here, they simply brought the cake and utensils to the table, lit the candles right in front of the birthday person, placed the cake down without even saying “Happy Birthday,” and walked away. I had honestly never experienced anything like that before, and we were all quite taken aback. Toward the end of the meal, the chef came to our table and asked how everything had been. We told him that while we generally enjoyed the food, the service had been extremely disappointing, and we explained in detail what had happened. His response was simply, “Oh, what was your favorite dish?” There was no apology or acknowledgment of our concerns whatsoever. It’s unfortunate because the food was genuinely good, but the service was so poor that it completely overshadowed the meal. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected a much higher standard of hospitality and professionalism, especially for a birthday celebration.
