Woobar — Restaurant in Ko Samui

● Jan2024 ● ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars I took my partner for birthday dinner. What an entrance, it definitely got a dramatic view. It is pricey but understandable. However, with the price this high, you would have high expectation as well and as did I.

Drinks were tiny and it's expensive. We ordered food from the kitchen table. I wanted to have Japanese cuisine from Namu but they wouldn't serve it at Woo Bar due to temperature control of the food to deliver it from the beach to the top.

Double cheese burger was very ... plain. I expected it to be a bit more ... wow and delicious. Of course when you pay over 500 baht for a burger 🍔 you would hope that first bite would wow you.

I ordered salmon salad 🥗 a bit after my partner ordered his burger. I was told it wouldn't be too long. Also, I thought a salad wouldn't be hard or complicated to make. I waited and waited until my partner almost finished his dish. So I asked staff if she could check the food for me. Not long after that, my food arrived. It was underwhelming. Just a flat smoked salmon in a plate of a siza as big as your hand. I definitely didn't think it would take long.

The flavor was ok but ... I think they try to elevate the dish and make it fancy too much. Sometimes, simple but well cook food is the best. I guess it's not my type of food. I like the food that fill you up and you want more of it.

I mean ... the view is spectacular. I booked for a birthday and was confirmed for birthday celebration. I thought there would be some sort of special arrangement for the occasion but nothing. I mean they're not wrong. I was in hospitality business and this attention to details would lift your service and guest satisfaction.

This is just a friendly advice for a chance of improving the service. I didn't expect to get anything but when I was confirmed the booking, it seemed that they got a birthday celebration note. A card or complimentary drink or dessert for the birthday person would not hurt your business. I mean I went to far less luxurious place and I got more of a nice gesture on special occasion like this.

Would I come back? Probably yes, for the view and if it's not my choice. But I wouldn't come back for a drink or food...

A super beautiful bar that we visited one evening, and were able to enjoy a drink under an open starry sky. The bar is located on top of a small mountain, with a view of the sea. The staff was super super nice, and did a lot to make us feel welcome. We started with a seat close to the pool, but these seats were uncomfortable to say the least, as they consist of metal chairs without cushions. When one of the seats islands became available, we were fortunately offered this one. Our drink was one of the place's signature drinks, and therefore we expected a lot. Unfortunately, we expected more than we got, because it didn't taste very good, to say the least. When a drink has a high price, in my world there is also an expectation of a particularly good taste. And yes, it is probably a question of taste, but this experience did not give us the courage to spend more money, so we left the...

Magnificent views in every direction, well stocked and enthusiastic staff. I am truly impressed and entertained with this Bar. Genius seating configuration and contemporary design. The fire show is very entertaining. The guys on the show are very skillful. My attendant, Mr. Bank had made me feel like meeting a new friend. Rather than just go into an establishment. His attentiveness and positive attitude is what made my experience whole, along with drinks. Extensive drinks menu. Exotic cocktails. Even Laguvulin 16 and Dalwhinnie 15 whiskey are served here ( hard to find in Thailand). Those two single malts pair well with my Olivia cigar. We were there for two nights and service was very consistent. We did not stay at the hotel, so I have nothing to say about the room. But I really had a good time at this Bar, and would need a very compelling reason to not visit...
