Yesterday, I tried their "seafood platter" for 599 baht which came with a very large slab of fish fillet, 4 good-sized prawns with melted cheese on top, batter-fried oysters, crispy calamari, seafood garlic rice, 2 mushroom soups, 2 very large iced teas, and of course french fries. It also came with Caesar salad.

The fish was excellent, the prawns were "okay", the batter-fried oysters were wonderful, the crispy calamari was quite good, the rice was quite good, the mushroom soup was very good, the french fries and salad were "okay".

Service was not so good but "passable". Inattentive staff (despite seeming to have too many staff), and they were dressed untidily and looked dirty. One was even obviously coughing (H1N1? haha), but he wasn't the one serving me, thank god. Doesn't the management even care to keep him at home? I guess they have good kitchen management but very poor training and personnel management.


Hope it helps.

Great platter, looked something like this but not exactly:

The 599 price was for the entire set... which was made for 2 persons; but it was a lot even for 2 persons... especially if female. 

American sized servings... parang Fridays Restaurant in Makati.  But actually, the food reminded me more of Bubba Gump Seafood Restaurant in Greenbelt 3 before.   Cheesy

If you're girls, it would be okay for 3 or even 4; but keep in mind it comes with only 2 (very large) iced teas and 2 soups. 

For big guys na kahit malakas kumain, it's sufficient even for 2.

I'm a guy who eats a lot (I usually go for buffet!) and I went with my female Thai friend, and we were able to make baon home pa a significant portion of the food.

If you're a guy, it has a nice atmosphere and a cute place to bring a chick (whether Thai or pinay  Grin  ) without having to spend too much.

If you drive, don't forget that your 599 receipt can be validated at the Central World "FOOD" booth at the 5th floor (if I remember right) and you get a total of 6 HOURS free parking in the mall.  Roll Eyes

(In my last trip home, ang mahal-mahal na ang parking sa Glorietta/Rockwell even if you spend money shopping/eating at their mall... so painful on the wallet. Shocked  )
