All the people who loved Thai on the River before, for its stunning view, wonderful food and smart service, will love it even better now, if that's possible. A move of location has created a more welcoming entry and reception area, a better use of internal space with new decor and a terrific riverside conservatory. Beautiful silks and natural wood panelling adorn the walls, while the tables are set with white linen. The Thai food is just as good as it always was. Try starter of classic tod mun plaa, main course of a curry with choice of protein, or one of the superb fish dishes like whole steamed sea bass with lemon, chillies and spring onions, and of course pad thai. Service is still fleet and friendly.

Yet another cuisine that is begging to be shared among friends or served in irresistible tidbits to partying horde, Thai cuisine is rarely better served than here at Thai on the River. The river views are really lovely and make this a 'destination' restaurant, a special setting for your event. The decor and ambience are smart and grownup but still relaxed. The private area seats up to 50, but we can imagine hiring the entire venue for a very special launch or reception. Menus include dishes like kanom jeeb dumplings, fried salmon fillets with tamarind, chillies and cashews, spiced shredded green papaya with shrimp, and pad thai. The wines are well-suited to the spicing.

Thai on the River was a lovely experience, the food was superb. My one only gripe was that when we received our bill, they had taken 25% off, rather than the 50% it should be Monday to Thursday. We thought that was a bit disappointing, like they were trying their luck a bit!! It could well have been an honest mistake though, it certainly didn't ruin an otherwise fantastic meal.

We went to Thai on the River on a Wednesday night and it was fairly empty - but the weather wasn't great and this is a good place to sit outside. The service was good and the food was nice but nothing particularly special - which seems to be not unusual for these slightly higher priced Thai restaurants. I guess you pay extra for the decor!

Had another great meal at Thai on the River. The food and service were fantastic and the 25% off deal made it a really affordable dinner option. At full price it is for special occasions only!
