Excellent food, and so far good service.
To me it's the best in town so far, together with the one placed on top of soi 96 :)

I have to weigh in on this one with my 2 baht's worth. First, thanks Big Boy for starting the thread and recommending it.

Based on what I read here I took the family (missus and mother-in-law) there today and we were all very pleased with the food, service, and price/value. Yes, it was hot at lunch time in there and yes it's not always easy to find a parking spot in that area, and yes it was a bit noisy (from the street traffic), but those are things I have to put up with at many of my favorite eateries here.

The "girls" had three Thai dishes all containing shrimp or seafood and I had one of the best pork cordon bleu dishes I've had anywhere in town. The western dishes come with a choice of several varieties of potatoes and sauces. I had mashed potatoes and port wine sauce with my cordon bleu and they turned out to be excellent choices. We also shared the cheese, mushroom, and spinach bruschetta appetizer which was also the best of it's type I've had in town. All the dishes were excellent and we were served the appetizer first and all four other dishes followed at the same time once we finished the appetizer. The girls had bottled water but I had a large beer and the total bill for 5 dishes (2 western, 3 Thai) water and beer was only 670 baht.

We all loved it and we will go back as often as possible since I saw about 20 other items on the menu that I would like to try.

I can't believe this place has been open for over 2 years and I'm just now hearing about it. You guys know how I love to eat! :cheers:
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

So you've only been on a diet of the spoken word these last few months - your return to the forum is well received by many I'm sure, judging by this contribution :thumb:

Welcome back.

You've gotta try the ribs and the steaks. Baked spuds are great too. Took the Mrs (Isaan stock) and she surprised me. She demolished a large steak and chips. First time I've seen her eat steak as she has always said 'it not good to eat your tractor' but she enjoyed it and ate half my ribs as well

Good grief, I had no idea the western food was any good! I live on Soi 80 and eat at PP a couple times a month, but always have Thai food. Their Masaman Chicken Curry is very good. I'll need to pay more attention to the western food selections.

I've never had any problems with service, attitude or speed. If anything, the food often comes out faster than I anticipate.

Last year during high season, I found that 800pm was the height of rush hour and usually I couldn't get a seat (for only one person). This year, so far, I've been able to eat any time with no wait.
