Thai Terrace

I really have to add my say, (although I am not the restaurant-reviewing type), having read only one rational, accurate review of Thai Terrace.

Although I had been warned about going there by a friend, one evening we were stuck for a place at a late hour and in desperation resorted to Thai Terrace. I was really hoping I could tell the friend who had issued the warning that he was mistaken, that he must have had a one-off bad experience, that the place had improved. Sadly, it was not to be.

The food was utterly bland, bore no relation to the exciting Thai flavours I have experienced in a multitude of Thai restaurants both in London and all over Thailand - and it was not cheap to boot. I'm pretty certain the Pad Thai was flavoured with tomato ketchup.

Total waste of an evening. Don't do it.

Reading some of the reviews thought we had visited a different restaurant , myself and my Thai wife recently dined at the Thai Terrace, My wife was surprised when she said hello in Thai to the waiting staff and was told they were not Thai and could not understand, this aside we continued to order with the waiting staff leaning against the chairs listening to what we said, when the starter arrived was of reasonable standard poorly presented with a polystyrene flower for decoration this as it turned out was the highlight of the meal, Thai beer not very cold and the main courses bland and at best mediocre, and to finish the night 15% service charge, will most definitely never eat there again and could not recommend to anyone.

I went to the Thai Terrace for the first time last night with work collegues and had one of the best evenings in a long time. The staff welcomed you with a smile, tooks coats and our table was ready and we were hungry so went straight there!

This restaurant really is beautiful, and the food to match.. melts in your mouth and is served so well and big portions too! Wine .. divine!

Have a great large lougne area with gorgeous sofa's where you can drink cocktails and have a chat..

It is a little more pricy than some other restaurants.. but SO worth it.. and it's certainly not overpriced... starts about £8 (get loads tho!!) and mains up to £14.. I suppose it's the drinks that bump the price up.

I would totally recoomend the place for all ages.. I can't wait to go back! (23/02/07)

I would really recommend Thai Terrace. We went recently for a colleague's birthday party and they really coped with a party very well unlike many places. Food was truly excellent and the service was superb. It is a contemporary style restaurant so if you want to share lots of dishes in traditional Thai fashion this is probably not for you but it's a beautiful venue.

It started promising. They took our coats, the seating was nice and candle-lit. Starters arrived and were just okay -- the tomyam soup was a bit weak and the prawn tempura batter wasn't correct -- it was oily and doughy. Mains arrived and were quite disappointing. The Pad Thai was acceptable, but the seafood and pineapple fried rice lacked both pineapple and taste. I mentioned the omission of pineapple to the waitress, who didn't seem interested.

And who charges 15% service charge? Honestly...

Food: Mediocre at best

Service: Quite good, but overpriced

Atmosphere: Good

Value: Poor

Bottom line: Spend the extra £10 a head and go to Blue Elephant, or spend £10 less and go to Addie's Thai Cafe

I visited this restaurant on a quiet Monday evening and was horrified by the service we received. The food was simply disappointing and unimaginitive; followed by my friend not even receiving her order due to a mix up. The waitresses huddled together like a witches coven and sniggered rudely. To add insult to injury, they took umbridge when I pointed out that a tip was optional and in light of our experience I wouldn't be paying extra for the non service! I was polite, but they wouldn't even thank us or say goodbye when we left, sulking by the door.

Suffice to say we renamed this the Thai Terrors!

We had a fabulous time at the Thai Terrace, it was with a bunch of workmates and we sat lounging on the couches sipping stunning cocktails and then went through and had an amazing meal. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. The whole ambience is lovely. I would definately recommend this restaurant. I am planning to take my husband there for his birthday.

I went here last Sunday for a birthday party and was very impressed by the courteousness of the staff and the food. It was my first time so I can't recommend a dish but the Tom Yum soup was divine. Will definitely be going back.

I have never eaten anything remotely so disgusting as the food I ate at **** *******. The oyster sauce reminded me of dirty dish water. The waiting staff did not understand our orders, they could not recommend a good bottle of wine and hovered so close by that our entire conversation was sniggerd over. I would not recommend this restuarant at all.
