Absolutely delicious cocktails, really great service. We had the sharing platter to star, which was awesome, really great to try everything. Then the Thai red curry which was incredibly flavoursome. Even the prawn crackers were scrummy! Will Absolutely be back.

Food was to a good standard however the attitude of the waiting staff was inappropriate and shameful. Refused to serve my husband anymore alcohol after one beer accusing him of being too drunk. He absolutely was not too drunk and demonstrated no behaviors to support their false accusation. When challenged on this the waitresses were very unprofessional in their manner. They had no interest in us and actively ignored us when we were trying to have a diplomatic conversation regarding the situation. We have never been treated so disrespectfully in a restaurant before and this is the first time I have ever left a negative review. If the staff had given us the time of day at the time to sort the situation out at the time then I would not feel like I needed to leave a review, they left me no option. I hope the staff have now had time to reflect and take this as a learning opportunity as I really hope nobody else is faced with such appalling attitude.
Thai DiningResponded on November 21, 2022After replying yesterday to you on TripAdvisor ,and you deleted your review, I will again clarify. Your husband were observed by numerous members of staff being very unruly, the decision was made to stop serving your husband alcohol. This is a decision that is never taken lightly, it is a criminal offence to knowingly sell alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated. the elder male pushing food plates and aggressively pointing in the face and raising his middle finger to the waitress.

I would definitely recommend this place to eat. The food was brilliant. We had the green curry and street good noodle soup and we couldn't stop eating. From the dessert menu I would suggest the sticky rice with mango. It was light, tasty and very refined. The banana fritters was a no for me. The staff was very nice and the ambiance suited the place. The toilets were very clean and full of different useful toiletries. Overall very happy with the experience.

This is the first time that my husband and I have been to Thai Dining so it was really lovely to find out that it was sooo tasty! The sharing starter for two was a lot bigger than I expected but it was so tasty we devoured the lot and I topped it off with a traditional Thai Green Chicken Curry. The waitresses were friendly and good humoured. Thank you all for a lovely evening!
