The first impression: nice bar, but less guests. The second impression: it becomes clear why less guests visit this bar.
Only 2 stars - although the cocktail tastes nice.
Why? More then one reasonâŠ
Reason 1: The ordering process. Digital with images of the cocktails. Great at first, poorly implemented in detail. There is no ingredient of the cocktails in the QR code menu. Only after repeated requests was there a printed replacement card.
Reason 2: The prices are at the upper limit for this location. And suddenly, when placing the online order, still service fee and taxes come on top. And the cocktail - each one - is unexpectedly almost 20% more expensive. Outrageous for this area. Above all: ordering online, a staff who cannot explain the cocktails - but ask for a service fee. An impudence. And even if the regulation with the tax and the service fee is in the small print. Let's be honest: who reads the small print when the prices and all other things are printed in large and normal.
Reason 3: Just 10 Guests on the Bar. But we waited 35 Minutes for our two Cocktails! 35 Minutes! In a Holiday area. In a Bar without Guest. Really?
Reason 4: The process of payment. No more words about this. A service fee is charged on the bill. And the staff still stands next to the change waiting for a tip on top of this.
I am many times per year in Thailand and Patong. I have a lot of friends there too. Some of them live there. And we are looking always for good places. Itâs sad this one will not come on our list with nice and good places.
I wish the bar a rethink, otherwise it is and will be just a unpleasant appendage of a...

   Read moreThe fact that this place has an average rating closer to 4 stars than to 5 stars leads me to seriously doubt the validity of the local food reviewers. I ate here every other day as I was staying in the attached hotel as part of the sandbox program. The wagyu burger, which I ate several times, is incredible and is one of the best burgers I have had on any continent at any price. I am a native New Yorker and the pizza is quite good as well--it's thin crust style, cooked in what appears to be an actual pizza oven that you can smell if you are eating in the restaurant. The fries are cut thin so you can eat them hot without burning your mouth and come with parm cheese sprinkled on and dipping cheese on the side. The cocktails are real cocktails. The pad thai is good and comes with cute little condiment containers. The ambiance is relaxed and airy for lunch and is swanky with live music for dinner. Every dish has elevated presentation. It's a great place for a date or just to drink alone....
