This was the best restaurant of our holiday! We were so pleasantly surprised by how awesome this place was. The beach was indoors! Our chairs were on sand! Extensive menu with amazing quality of local and western cuisine with a great kids menu for our...youngest. The cocktails were unique and delicious. The vibe was “beach club” with a great playlist. We were pleasantly surprised by the live Andaman Fire Boys and their spectacular performance. I highly recommend Smile Bar for families, couples, singles, and all occasions.More

Amazing view and good cocktails. Definitely order anything from the grill. We got the bbq chicken and bbq chicken sticks and they were yummy. Kids meals we’re also great for kids.

To be fair we didn’t try some of the realllly expensive meals on the menu, which may have been justified on price. But we found the service and the food to be really quite mediocre. We’ve had some amazing food on our travels through Thailand...and well this was seriously underwhelming for the price. The location and vibe was lovely though - so all is not lost. If you are equating the price with the expectation- be prepared. It’s not a match.More

The 1* i had to give but if i could they wouldn't even get that. We went in as was looking at the roasted spit chicken, but my daughter wanted a chicken burger, we asked 3 different servers if the chicken was 100% chicken breast...and said my daughter will not eat processed chicken, can not eat it and was told on all 3 occasions that it was a real piece of chicken breast. We all got our food and 1 bite and she spat it out, opened the burger bun and can see its a reformed process chicken burger. We explained again to the ( manager or chef) eho was called out to speak to us and he said I will do it again for you but we said no, as its not a piece of chicken breast, Anyway long story short ordered a piece of the roasted spit chicken in place of the reformed chicken to put in her burger bun ( which he agreed with) to place it in her burger bun so she could eat exactly what she asked for and the manager said he would do it for us but when the bill came he charged us for the uneaten chicken burger, plus another meal which consisted of real roasted chicken and when I questioned it, he rudely said I had to pay for it. So i had to pay for the uneaten chicken burger andcthe new replacement chicken. In the end after stating it was their error and we hadn't eaten it he took 30% off of that chicken burger meal. Only equated to approximately £1.20 My point is, 1) understand what your customer is asking, 2) if you made the error don't charge customers for your mistake and 3) manager needs a course in customer service so will deal with customers in the correct manner. In the uk a paying customer is right, and wouldn't pay for your mistake. If this happened where my daughter worked they would not charge you for the replacement. Appalling. Lastly food was average, nothing special and overpriced. 2,300.00 B not worth it at all. So disappointing.More

Tried the pepper crabs... Fresh and tasty. The crew are friendly and the fire show at 2100 was a cherry in the icecream. The ambience added to the tour adventure... and the food was to our liking. A must visit in every tour. We stayed...at the raddison but walked to the restaurant tru the beach.. worth the walk.More

We were two families and ordered fish and other dishes. It was very expensive and not tasty enough. The pomelo salad is not for our taste.

I had the chicken satay, Penang curry with chicken, and a watermelon shake. The shake was good. Chicken stay was a bit dry and served with peanut sauce. There wasn’t enough sauce for the three skewers of chicken. Penang curry was a decent portion but...had absolutely no flavor to it. (No spice and no salt.) shake was over $4. Satay was $6. Curry was almost $10. I wouldn’t have minded spending $20 if it were actually good.More

Experience is truly fabulous! We've ordered a couple of sides to share with lobster as the main course. And 🦞 we received! Both BBQ and Thermidore versions are tasty and full body. Sides were huge in size, 2 times of a typical Thai portion Special...thanks goes to waiters, which took good care of a table, exchanging plates on a timely manner. And a beautiful sunset which you observe right from the restaurant is a great bonus, so be sure to be here before 18:45 to get itMore

beautiful view with lovely decor in and around the restaurant. Drinks were a little overpriced but nice. Chicken was undercooked and tasteless along with chips however the steamed fish was fine.

Nice seafood and wonderful view. I ordered shrimps in noodles - strange, but it's very good! Super tasty coctails. And also good service. Enjoy!
