This Thai Style Tapas restaurant served up my evening intake of calories last night after an early lager or two at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. Arriving with three other colleagues we sat down around 9pm and ordered up the Gold Menu for four people along with a bottle of Rioja. The food served up was not the best Thai food I have ever eaten, nor could it be described as filling. The fayre left us all perhaps feeling that just a little more would have been good. The ingredients used in the selection of starters and main dishes were not what you would call fresh or best quality. Many of the traditional ingredients you would expect in a home cooked Thai meal were simply not there. Normally; Thai food is very flavoursome and spicy; this was neither. The service was however quick and attentive but for some reason, we were asked no less than four times, while our glasses were still visibly full, whether we wanted another bottle of wine bringing out. I’m proud to say that without any hint of sarcasm, I suggested to the waiter, we wait a while.
The toilets were to be found down some very steep stairs in the basement and were reasonably clean.
Overall, a very pleasant time was had in the company of friends, but the food was not really up to much. At £105.00 for four people though, we could hardly complain at the price.
Pryordurkin rating. 2 stars.
