Hemingways (Lakeside) Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Chon Buri Province

Possibly everything a westerner and Thai needs! Loads of parking outside for cars and bikes. A beautiful poolside outdoor eating area, loads of tables and chairs inside which is air conditioned and outside which is obviously fan cooled. There is a pool table inside and also loads of promotional posters showing the daily deals like pie&chips plus a drink for a decent price.. The food menu has a great selection of different foods.

The bar was a bit of a letdown. I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, but the drink that arrived looked and tasted nothing like the classic version. Maybe it's a house twist, but it didn't land well.

That said, the food — as always — was fantastic: fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. It's what saved the evening. Staff were polite.

Overall, the restaurant is still a great choice for delivery, but as a dine-in experience, it could use some improvement in atmosphere and attention to detail. I truly hope small things like lighting and the cocktail menu get refined over time — the place...
