SHOT Russian Billiards Club — Restaurant in Rawai

Good place to go play pool; but, don't go for the food, the service, or if you want to be treated like a paying customer. The drinks took ages (20 minutes plus), the food is fryer central. Do NOT order the cheese platter unless you taste all the cheeses individually first (ours were either flavourless or soggy). Also, for added protein, we found ants in some of our food (not a lot to be fair but even one ant is a bit much).

However, the worst was that at the end of the meal, they let us know that they didn't accept any cards; no apologies for not informing us earlier. Then the owner came - she wasn't apologetic for not informing us - just pointing to where the ATM is.

What a perfect example of expat that think that Italy is the center of the world and that staff from 11.000km away should know what the customs are in Italy.. Will never come back in this place.. I lived here for 17 years and never been treated this way.. A huge...

Pretty good lasagna (220 baht) but the spinach lasagna I ordered which was on the blackboard menu was unfortunately not available. Nam manao ( lemon drink ) was a little pricey for a non-alcoholic beverage (100 baht). Friday night buffet at 100 baht seemed like a good deal and will try it next time. Service was okay even though the server had a little bit of a problem understanding questions about the offerings but all in all we will give it another try. Pool tables looked top notch but can't yet wrap my head around paying 200 baht/hr. when everywhere else I've...
