Very small but intimate Thai restaurant, with absolutely delicious authentic dishes (try the laab nom tuk!, you won't be disappointed!).
It misses out on the final star for 2 reasons. If there's a loud group dining, the venue is so small that you will struggle to hear your friends, or even your own thoughts! Midweek isn't too bad as it's generally couples or groups of 4, but late evening if there's a tipsy table, you might have to get your food to take away unfortunately.
Second thing, and what I think is most important, the new waitress is extremely rude and not very professional or prompt. She left a number of people in for take away waiting as she attended to a table of 6 quite loud and wine fuelled people. (I was sitting in, so she acknowledged my existence luckily for me). Secondly, she was very poor with service in general and when I asked for the bill, she plonked it on the table and scurried away with a 'bye' over her shoulder.
When I went up to pay, she realised she wasn't going to get the 5 Euro she deludedly expected, actually said "oh!" and was very short, making faces and was clearly peeved that her plan to get a significant tip didn't work (my meal was just over 15 quid so she really was deluded to expect such a significant tip for taking my order, ignoring me and then walking the 4 steps from the kitchen to my table with a nasty attitude). There was no pleasantries and she was very rude and unprofessional. I dropped 2 Euro into the tip jar as the meal had been great and had been delivered promptly (though the only other sit in table was the group of 6 who already had their food). Clearly this wasn't good enough a tip for this waitress. I left embarrassed and annoyed which isn't ideal when you've paid the guts of 20 Euro for meal and service and you're left feeling like you did something wrong for not allowing someone take advantage of you.
Will order take away in future, won't be returning to the restaurant given the conduct of the young woman who served me. Not good for business, and I think she needs to be reminded that (all) customers should be treated with respect, whether ordering take away or dining in, and not made feel like a hindrance. read more
