It's reputation is not really backed up by the reality. It's a typical seafood eatery for Hua Hin but nothing about it is outstanding. The seafood is all fresh, which it should be, so nothing special there. The beer was cold, which I guess is sort of special for Thailand. The staff are quick at getting your order but we didn't get all the dishes we ordered until we reminded them of it. No apology offered. The food was nice enough but all the delicate flavours of scallops, prawns and rock lobster are lost amongst all the typically strong Thai spices.

I heard mutterings of discontent on the adjoining table too, maybe the management needs to focus on taste instead of factory like...
Read moreWe had a nice dinner here with their specialty lobster grilled with 4 different sauces plus an extra free stir-fried morning glory as a package. The lobster was yummy and fresh but if we knew beforehand, we probably will only choose the basic grill style either with butter or black-pepper sauce since the other two sauces were not that good. This is casual restaurant and cash payment only so there should not be high service level expectation. The price level is reasonable / average value. Location wise, this one is central in the middle of Hua Hin night market and can be quite busy if you came later in...
