Cabbages & Condoms — Restaurant in Pattaya City

For the first evening right after arriving at the hotel, a month before arriving I asked to book a table at the top of the tree in the restaurant and received confirmation from the hotel, but when I arrived, there was no reservation ... as it was special occasion - my daughter's recent birthday, Only my arrogance or persistence helped to celebrate the event, where and how it was planned. How ashamed the employees should be for such a work. However it is worth to visit this restaurant only for the food and the atmosphere. Believe me, it's great. Nice restaurant’s atmosphere will not leave you indifferent when visiting. Don't pay attention to the Service - it's traditionally terrible here. We ordered food and wine at the same time. Everything is fashionable - a wine list on a tablet. Only the waiter cannot remember your choice. The wine brought turned out to be not what was ordered. They left to think. 10 minutes gone. When returned the answer was - it's over. At the same time, the previous wine was taken away. It was worth another 10 minutes to return it. As a result, the food was served earlier than the drinks. We asked for the water. After all, is it really needs to be served in a bottle without a glass,? and then there's the 10’ gap to find it. Moving away from the restaurant itself, while staying at the hotel and using the services of the room service, I can say that in general it is necessary to at least punish the restaurant manager. Room service: with a QR code available, it only gives you a Google table with prices. Staff speaks disgusting English. They doesn't always understand everything. Why not provide for the possibility of a trouble-free order through the code, Understanding the inconsistency of the language of the employees?? There is a Quasi-bar on the pool. There is no one from the staff. Ordering a beer is quite a quest. Forget to pick up the dirty dishes. The order you can only make by phone either you should go to the restaurant in a bathing suit. When ordering by phone, employees who do not really speak English confuse the positions. It's always roulette. In half of the cases, you will not receive what you ordered. As an example: when ordering an additional ketchup, they bring a pork chop that was not ordered. Already realizing the helplessness of employees, number all the positions so that you can order by naming the exact number of the corresponding dish. In order not to run into like me, in the order of Virgin Mochito for daughter , specifying "alcohol free" I get a mojito and additionally a glass of Rum. In the receipt, respectively, an alcoholic mojito. Then, of course, everything gets fixed, but for this you need your will to get up from the couch and go talk to the staff. The food brought to the chaise longue stays there. None of the staff even thinks about taking the dirty dishes back. In a restaurant, waitress girls largely ignore the table, gathering in groups at the entrance for a nice chat. When you make a remark, they agree, but if nothing happens after that, they just don't understand you. It is treated by calling the manager. After he pours you drinks himself, brings the ordered dishes and cleans up the dirty dishes - all other days your table will be provided with a high attention. Another point - to all the specified prices, by default, 10% of the service fee will be added to you, despite the disgusting service and 7% of the state tax. If the such of collection despite working on improving service is mandatory, the restaurant does not need to develop the service. So, the food is delicious, the views are gorgeous, the service is a disaster. But it...

This restaurant caters more towards foreigners than local Thai people. The flavors of the dishes are adjusted to suit international palates rather than traditional Thai tastes. For example, the Hor Mok Talay lacked the herbal complexity expected in Thai curry and was sweeter than authentic versions. The spicy-lime steamed fish also tasted sweeter instead of the expected balance of spicy, sour, and salty. The pineapple prawn curry was on the sweet side as well. The Pla-Goong (prawn salad) was the closest to traditional Thai flavors. The mango sticky rice also seemed lacking in authenticity. The sticky rice was very dry and sticky, as if it was made in the microwave instead of steaming. There was no coconut sauce topping, which is essential for good mango sticky rice.

The service was not great, likely due to the large number of guests and limited staff. The staff seemed too busy to attend well to each table, and we had to seek their attention multiple times. There are too many seats for the number of staff to handle, leading to poor service.

The restaurant's seaside location provides beautiful sunset views and a peaceful ambiance. However, there are opportunities to be more environmentally conscious by maintaining cleanliness around the area.

In terms of pricing, the prices are reasonable but not very cheap. The prices seem fair given the scenic seaside location.

Overall, this is a suitable restaurant for tourists looking for Thai-inspired cuisine with a scenic view, but may not satisfy locals seeking traditional Thai food, attentive service, or budget prices. Focusing more on sourcing authentic ingredients, balancing the flavors, improving the staff-to-guest ratio, and keeping prices affordable could elevate the experience for both foreign and...

As a visitor to Pattaya, always in search of great food. It’s difficult to find waterfront restaurants. But a great find well worth a visit. Unsolicited review.

This is a well known boutique resort and casual restaurant with an unconventional name , but don’t let it deter your visit. Located at the end of Soi 4, Phratamnak area, this restaurant has a special social purpose, so it needs mentioning. A large amount of profits goes to social programs and a school in the countryside. The owner is famous for being the grandfather of bringing contraception programs to Thailand. Highly recognized with awards and by well known world leaders.

The restaurant is directly overlooking the ocean with a terrific waterfront restaurant that terraces down the hillside with unobstructed views of sunsets and viewing distant thunderstorms.

During the high season it is packed with customers, but most of the year it’s calm and quiet. Big sign at entry so you can’t miss it. there is a long garden jungle walk to the restaurant from the lobby area, so by the time you arrive on you walk, you feel isolated from the rest of the world.

Food: Extensive Thailand food and Western food and some Chinese food, well prepared and delicious. Nothing better than overlooking the ocean at sunset with a cold Singha in hand, then dinner. Does make a perfect romantic evening. Great service staff, friendly and professional. Enjoy yourself and know you are helping support social purposes and education.
