Tucked away near the fancy Kamala villas - is a quaint little Thai / Western restaurant. The food is consistently great and the owners wonderfully accommodating. I asked for hot lemongrass tea which wasn't on the menu and they made it for me! Must eat here - tuna tartare, pomelo salad, pork belly and Phad Thai.

I've been a few times. But on this visit, prawns in rice were not so fresh. Otherwise always an excellent dining experience!!

This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. Outside deck dining by the beach with live music. Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Feels like a family business. Food prices quite reasonable, drink prices are standard. I thought the food quality was excellent, very tasty and enjoyable Thai. Satay was very good also enjoyed the fried rice, beef salad, massaman curry, spring rolls and chicken and cashew nuts. For fun, try a beer kamikaze from the drinks menu. A giant cocktail with a beer in it! All in all a fun and enjoyable dining experience.

This is a wonderful family run restaurant which is a short distance from Cape Sienna Resort on the way to the shopping precinct. It is beautifully situated on a high position looking out to the beach and boats moored close by. Wonderful, friendly service with fresh food well cooked and beautifully presented. There was a singer on the night we visited who played music which was not overpowering. Very impressive place.

This restaurant was recommended to us but all four of us thought it was average, ok , but food was nothing special. Good beach setting.

Visited today with my husband, 5month old son and another couple. I had to write a review straight away as I was so so happy.

To start with standard restaurant expectations - friendly staff, good food... But to me it was above and beyond with both.
We shared 6 dishes and we all said we couldn't pick a favourite as they were all so good, full of flavor, large servings (we could have done with one less dish)

The staff was the chef and another lady who were so friendly and this is where they stood out to us... As anyone with babies know enjoying a meal in peace is so rare as baby always wants attention as food arrives, the lady working there started playing with my son, asked if she could walk him around the restaurant and entertained him our whole meal! The chef came out and we all thought he was going to tell her to get back to work but no, he started playing with him too! For me this was so fantastic! I enjoyed every part of my meal and my son was happy playing with this lovely, sweet lady.

The views were great too looking onto the beach.
I can't express how happy we were today from this exceptional service and food!
