Expensive... but really good quality dinner. We paid AUS $600 between 4 of us (which included 2 bottles of wine) so its equivalent to Australian standards but it was fairly great food. We had a 7 course degustation (they only really do degustation) and I would say 6 of the 7 courses were exceptional. One which was a canned tuna... More

Food was just so interesting and the staff explained all the ingredients in everything. Only sad thing is the restaurant was fairly empty. It is very expensive but a real experience.

This restaurant has the most amazing views- especially at sunset. It really is stunning! The staff are very friendly. The food however is another story- the food is just very strange. You cannot just order a regular meal- it is only set menus with the smallest being 5 courses! The food is very strange. They are trying too hard to... More

We were simply blown away by the food served here. My wife had the 7 on the rocks menu whereas I opted for the experience.... It was simply some of the best food I have had in my life. The only very slight negative I can find is that the food came out a little too quickly and we were... More

There are four tables on the separate area, so make sure you reserve your table before you go there. Also make sure you arrive BEFORE sunset, otherwise you sit at the table and you look into 270 degress of darkness. The food is great but not the very best we enjoyed at Koh Samui. VERY TOP was SALA Samui and... More

We arrived early just after 6 as the sun was setting (can't see sunset from the restaurant). The atmosphere was lovely and service attentive. My husband and I had different degustation menus and both was beautifully presented and flavoursome. I had matching wine with mine and the sommelier did a good job with pairing. The whole place had a very... More

I had an 8-course degustation menu featuring lots of molecular dishes that really blew my mind. The combination of tastes was indescribable.

This restaurant not only has an amazing setting, but the food is exceptional. The food's attention to detail, presentation and taste is up there with some of the big names in the world. Staff are amazing too. HIGHLY recommend!

We went there to celebrate our anniversary on 27 March 2013. Only after 3-4 reminders with a copy to the GM were we able to get a response for our booking! Bad start! We went with great expectations but unfortunately it was an Anniversary quickly to be forgotten. The food was what I would like to call High-Style-Low-Substance. Presented with... More
