We called in after a few wines to have a meal, ordered without fuss. Pretty good meal for all of us, as we had 2 friends join us. Good selection of meals from pasta, seafood, rice dishes

Great food, really not too expensive, very friendly and helpful owner. Try out the happy hour. There was live music the night we were leaving, Thursday, not sure about other nights. Did I mention great food, great owner, great prices!! It was a pity our...hotel did not inform us about this place earlier during our stay, would have spent more nights here.

We ended up eating here 4 nights out of the 9 we stayed in the area. The cocktails were excellent and with Happy Hour from 5-7 each day it was an easy option to stay on and have dinner. Tree was the gentleman who made...our cocktails and I tried a couple of his new inventions which were excellent and am sure will hit the regular menu soon (Pineapple Mojito and a Spicy Tom Yang Goong cocktail). It’s not fair to call this a cafe as I thought the food was high end restaurant standard but at reasonable prices. Ensure and try the Fresh Spring Rolls and Phuket Fish cakes. The cafe is on the jetty so a great location to relax and watch the sun go down each night.More

The reason for going? I wanted to try the Chiang Mia Noodles .what a disappointment. It tasted like spicy hot water and they didn’t bother to serve it with the condiments. Also served was a very poor green Thai curry. The glass of white wine...was undrinkable …. Safer with beer! All in all a wasted evening far better restaurants in the area to try.More

We discovered this place in October while vacationing in Thailand. My wife, myself, and friends we were traveling with all felt the same about the place. The menu could not be beat. It has something for every taste, not to mention the Thai food, which...is awesome. Great atmosphere inside and out, great staff, and Singha beer on tap. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend it if you are in the area. (Make reservations)More

We have eaten here twice whilst staying in the area. The first time we had garlic bread which was yummy and a pizza to share which was tasty but served Luke warm. The second time we both chose Thai meals which were yummy and hot....The meals are reasonably priced and the ambience of the cafe is really nice and romantic of an evening. It’s easy to get to just hop on the ferry boat and it’s next to the jetty at the Canal Village. The reason we didn’t give it 5 ⭐️ was because their happy hour sign shows house wine included in the half price drinks 5pm till 7pm however on paying the bill we were told it wasn’t included so we pointed out the happy hour sign with HOUSE WINE included and they said no no … this is wrong. It tainted what would have been a great meal and evening out. And this unfortunately will stop us going back, we were disappointed with their attitude with no offer of a refund.More

Varied selection of dishes, very tasty and we'll presented whether you like international or great Thai food. Draft Singha and great selection of drinks as well. Wonderful atmosphere whether eating inside or outside. We went several times and we're never disappointed. Had a wonderful meal...outside one balmy and sunset evening. Staff are great and can't do enough for you - especially Tri who entertained us so we'll. Live music great with 60's music played us out on the last night with "leaving on a jet plane".

Stayed at Saii Laguna resort which is on the lagoon and you can get a boat (free) to this little restaurant. They do happy hour (2 hours actually) everyday. The staff were always really nice and friendly and the food was spot on. It was...lovely to sit there in the evening as all the lights from around the lagoon came on and lit up parts of the lagoon. Getting the boat back to the hotel was lovely.More
