    This place is cute. The front is all door which are all open on nice days. The drunken noddles were…read moreflavorful, never had celery in a spring roll never will again but that's just me. Overall this was probably the best food I've had in Warwick sense I've been here all week. The only reason it's not a higher rating is I didn't feel like I was welcomed to eat there in the beginning. The manager told me "you know this is Thai food." Wasn't sure what he really meant but that wasn't needed.

    We arrived in time for an early lunch and were seated at the front of the restaurant which was…read morecompletely open - this means fresh air, sunshine and the hustle and bustle of Swan Street (screaming children). As the tables around us filled up, we noticed the clientele was mainly businessmen having meetings. I guess if you want to impress a client with your sophistication, you could do worse that take them to The Art Kitchen. The service was efficient though almost comically abrupt. Soft shell crab: Even though it's a starter, it's a £12 starter, so I was pleased to see plenty of crab on the plate. I did not expect deep-fried crab to be so juicy and flavourful. The batter's delicate crunchiness complemented the crab instead of just encasing it. The salad was crisp and fresh with a tasty dressing. The Pad Thai looked amazing sitting on a square of banana leaf. The crushed peanuts were mysteriously secreted under a corner of the banana leaf - good to have the option, I merrily mixed them in. This enhanced the perfect sweet and sour flavour of the dish which was expertly calibrated to satisfy and not overwhelm. The noodles were just right although the sauce was on the oily side. The prawns were a let down compared to the juicy crab starter - rubbery and not much flavour. Next time I will make use of the lime, which I neglected even though it was skewered into the middle of the dish. I ordered the deep fried ice cream out of skepticism. Five minutes later this miracle of science appeared before me in the form of a scotch egg. A scotch egg where the egg is ice cream and the meat is dough. Visually, it's very satisfying to cut into the "egg" and have ice cream ooze out. The outside is perfectly crispy, the inside of the dough is on the bready side which is ok as it's soaked in ice cream. The ice cream wasn't your average vanilla - very rich and intense flavour. I was not a fan of the cooked banana slices - there's just something slimily sinister about warm banana. Warm like it had been in someone's pocket all morning. Thankfully there is more to The Art Kitchen than banana (nice leaves though) and I look forward to returning!
