Truly delicious Thai food. We had the betel leaf with prawn, rich red curry prawn and chilli basil duck. All deliciously full flavoured and beautifully presented by attentive staff. BYO too so you can drink your favourite wine!

Good food but remember why I only eat vegetarian food while out. (As in any restaurant) their chicken was not to my taste.
