The Thai food was good, the drinks are excellent, the decor and outdoor seating, particularly in the summer are lovely, I would definitely bring a visitor here for a drink, but everything is seriously over priced. Overpriced drinks I can handle just as an excuse to sit somewhere lovely looking but a SINGLE bowl of tom yum goong for RMB70?? For that price the service staff should be falling all over themselves to attend to your every need with 5 star service, but I got a wine glass practically thrown at me, a 16 year old waiter who couldn't speak any English (which I think in a restaurant totally geared towards expats without even Chinese on the menu, is inexcusable), an overflowing ashtray left at my table until I put it on the floor next to me and a surly look-and-grab when I asked the waiter to please help me hang up my jacket. NOT COOL. And it wasn't the first time I've had this service there. If I want to pay those prices I will go to a five star hotel where the service makes it more worth the money; you can't just rely on your name and decor and let the rest go to hell.
