From the time we entered the restaurant the staff were very pleasant and extremely efficient. This restaurant has an atmosphere second to none in the Thai restaurants in Christchurch. When we arrived there was only a couple of tables not being used - one of them was ours. It pays to book as with it's location and growing reputation for fine Thai food, a very good choice of wine and beer backed up by an attentive service from the staff - you wouldn't get a better Thai restaurant in Christchurch. We couldn't eat all of our meal and there was no problem as one of the staff put the remaining food in a 'doggy bag' which had a compartment for the curry and another one for the rice. This food was enjoyed for lunch the following day. The Manager was very much 'hands on' assisting with the drinks at the bar and generally ensuring that things were going well for all his guests. He kindly provided a glass of bubbles at the end of the evening for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary and this was very much appreciated.
Thanks to the staff - manager, floor staff and chefs for making the occasion so memorable.
