The Hope Kitchen — Restaurant in Krabi Province

I had a very strange experience here. I was looking forward to trying this place with the great reviews, and ordered the fish which is the most expensive dish. The waitress took my order and then returned after 10 minutes asking if I want any food. I said I ordered already. She left... 30 minutes go by and nothing is happening, even though I'm the only person there. I go up to the kitchen and she said she forgot... Again, no body else is there so how? But ok, she says 10 minutes it's ready. After 20 minutes I get the grayest, dryest, overcooked suspicious looking fish I've ever seen. Fresh it was not. The sauce was nice but I'm pretty sure not the one I ordered. I sent it back because it was inedible and left... And I almost never send food back. Maybe the chef wasn't there and maybe they didn't have fresh fish, but they can just tell me that instead of this epic drama. I was disappointed but I hope this isn't...

What is unique is remarkable food combined with a beach front view. The menu also contains some dishes not found at other restaurants and are a welcome addition to the usual excellent fayre served in Thailand. The service is both efficient and extremely friendly. I thoroughly recommend this small beach front family restaurant at all hours of the day, serving breakfast, lunch, sundowner...

Beautiful beach front setting. We had dinner and a couple of glasses of chilled white wine (chilean, if I'm not mistaken) watching the sunset and listening to the waves. Shrimps with garlic were great, barracuda done in a spicy sauce also good and their homemade veggie spring rolls as a starter with the wine was top! One star less as the rice was served cold and they did not have (or did not serve) a whole bottle of wine so we had to order by the glass. Otherwise had a splendid evening, lovely location! Also - they...
