Table Chair Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

I passed by this restaurant and thought, Wow, this place looks great! It seems like they serve authentic Thai food. May and Bim greeted us warmly and were very sweet, addressing our initial concerns with care. Unfortunately, while the service was pleasant, the food left much to be desired.

We started with the spring rolls, which were delicious and raised my expectations. However, the rest of the meal was disappointing.

The Beef Massaman curry was a major letdown. The beef was tough, rubbery, and overly watery. There were only four very small pieces of beef, and the rest of the dish was mostly potatoes-seemingly to make it look more substantial. Additionally, when the waiter asked about allergies, I specifically mentioned no nuts, yet the dish was served with nuts. While I didn’t want to make a scene, this oversight could have been dangerous for someone with severe allergies. I ended up giving the dish to my partner and later bought mango sticky rice from a nearby stall to fill my hunger.

The burger was also underwhelming, dry and lacking flavor-though the fries were good.

Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for authentic Thai cuisine. While they have other offerings, such as Italian dishes, which looked appealing from the next table, I can’t speak to their quality.

I went to the toilet and was horrified that not only was their no toilet paper, but the tap to the sink wasn’t turning on and was bent/broken. I had already used the hand soap so then had a handful it soap with no way of washing it off. I had to use tissues from the table outside in the restaurant. Also a big issue for me was the bin was full of soiled toilet paper and the smell was awful. The toilets were dirty in general and I left feeling that although the look of the bar looked amazing I wouldn’t return for hygiene reasons as if the public toilet is that bad what the...

We were drawn to this restaurant by its amazing décor, upbeat music, and romantic mood lighting—it definitely set a great atmosphere! Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the ambiance. The beef was very chewy, and the portion sizes were disappointingly small.

The staff were okay overall. They brought our alcoholic drinks promptly but forgot our water, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the service was quick, which we appreciated.

While the setting is beautiful, the experience would be much better if the food quality matched...
