TLDR: good for group of adults, great meat ok vegetables, poor eggs.

Location: you need a car. Even grab car might not want to get there. The entrance is wheelchair accessible but we aren't sure about the second floor. Parking is large but there are a lot of cars.

Env: on river bank with optional air-conditioning rooms. A little loud with live music. So not recommended for small children. The band plays 90s Thai pop. They were great. Rest rooms are disrepair but clean with slight but noticeable odor. The place looks better at night than the day. The place winds down around 8pm so you don't need reservation if you arrive later than that.

Food: Meat dishes are great. Vegetables and fish are good but not great. Vegetables were a little overbooked before being fried bit still OK. Avoid eggs though because they are oily so we just discard it after a few bites. Rice is a little hard, very likely from last year's harvest.

Service: all staff are friendly. They clean up the tables very fast. The food takes about 30 minutes to arrive from order to last dish.

Price: we ordered a dish of pork ribs, serloin with fried onion. fish soup, vegetables, scramble eggs, alcohol free beer, water, 2 plates of rice, and 2 croissants. it cost two of us a bit over 2000 THB after 10%...

WARNING! Don't let them trick you with their name and nice atmosphere on a prestige location.

In the beginning, the staff were nice, encouraging customers to give them 5* review for a free drink. The truth started to show after we gave the review. They no longer care about serving us, took quite some time to get the servers' attention. We order Hoegaarden with the promotion 'Buy 5 get 1 free, assuming it would be Beer Woon (frosty). The glass was frozen, and the beer came in a bottle just chilled. Once the ice is melted, ruinning the taste of the beer. With the price tag of 600 baht a bottle - the most expensive I ever paid per bottle for a Hoegaarden.

In terms of food, everything was EXTREMELY SWEET or no taste. We ordered fried chicken knuckles - no taste, salad - sweet, salsa - EXTREMELY SWEET. We wanted to complain about the way they served beer, and there was no manager nor supervisor who could deal with the situation. Several members of the staff were speaking Thai with foreign accents, so there was language boundary.

We decided to delete our original 5* review because we do not want other customers to get trick like us. And put the truth review about this place. One time and only. NEVER EVER! want to go back...
