Akvavit Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Pattaya City

First time visit. It was after 8pm so I talked myself out of huge big steak as near bed for me and opted for the entree of Bone-in Pork Chop w/fries. What a killer enjoyable meal it turned out to be. The pork chop was lightly breaded and fried to perfection, not overcooked and arrived still hot and crunch crust served on a bed of delicious better than average brown gravy w/ bit of cauliflower & broccoli. On the side was a compote of magical tart yet sweet flavor and delicate crunch something I could not identify with a touch of hot chili oil. Then there was the small but nice arugula likeness salad with fresh marinated baby tomato and Brussel shoots and the last garnish of slender, almost paper thin fresh made sweet pickle slices. By the way, fresh, cut, piping hot perfectly cooked French fries. It took me a few bites to appreciate the skills of the chef as every item was perfect to be mixed bite for bite and those pickles were just a star to eat with everything on the plate. The mixture of tart, sweet, savory, pork and the silky brown gravy caused me to eat every and I men everything on the place but the silverware.

Service was really great also and the place is a nice quite vibe perfect alone or...

The pepper sauce was served on the side, another nice touch. The house red wine was a nice accompaniment, and a dry Bombay gin martini finished things off. Overall, a very nice atmosphere and an excellent meal. Staff were friendly and professional. I'll definitely be...

We ordered meatballs,6 really small ones hidden behind something that would be called cream sauce,thick as porridge and very small portion,the meatballs not fried rather cooked and relatively tasteless,the sauce had a strong taste of broth powder and far too thick,would rather not think that what is called lingonberry jam was lingonberry but cranberry but it was too dark to identify the berries but it was more reminiscent of cranberry than lingonberry in taste but not the real problem, it's very disappointing not at all what I expected.IKEA in Bangkok serves as good meatballs as this restaurant, only as guidance just says as it is,has been working with food for over 25 years so I know what I'm...
