We had an established reservation but before we got to our table they rudely informed us our table would only be available for a short time. We almost left and wish we had. The Pad Thai was mediocre at best; the basil beef was second rate; the service was adequate. Would not recommend.

Beautiful food and excellent service - no faults here. The ladies serving are always extremely friendly and attentive. They make excellent cocktails too. Only downside, and this is the ONLY downside for us, is that it's a small restaurant and each time we've been there has been loud groups whose noise really takes over the restaurant, which is a shame. I would definitely recommend people dining here - but book first to avoid disappointment.

We reserved our table the day before and were given a place by the window, which was a great spot. We had starters of satay and spring rolls plus prawn crackers with chile sauce, which were very tasty. For main courses we had 2 types of noodles plus chicken & cashew nuts and spicy chicken, and we enjoyed them all. The service was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Definitely one of the best Thai meals we've had in Scotland.

Food, portions and service were excellent. The only down side was that our table was next to the door and every time the door was opened ( which was often) we experienced a cold draught. However this would not put us off returning.
