We did the pre -theatre menu at 5pm so it was quiet but the service was very attentive and they adjusted the heat (chilli) on the mains after we found the entree a tiny bit hot after thinking we could handle it. Everything was delicious and we will come back.

I cannot recommend Thai Tide enough. We had an excellent experience from the moment we were greeted by Xena until we walked out the door. The food was exceptional, the staff were a delight, and the overall mood of the place was sensational. The dining space is not overly large; however, they have set up such that the place will not be overcrowded, and you will still feel like you are always being looked after. This was a fabulous dining experience, and we will definitely be returning when we come back to Melbourne early next year.

It was not busy when we visited and opted for express lunch menu as one of the guests only had an hour for lunch. The portion was not much considering price so value not great. I think the serving size should be reviewed. Otherwise the food was enjoyable and I would find again.
