We haven't eaten at Elefanta but we have at Restaurant Thai for the past 4 years. The food is very good and the atmosphere is spectacular. The restaurant shares a wall with the adjacent aquarium so you can see dolphins, turtles, etc. swim by. If that's not enough and you plan in advance, you need to reserve one of 5... More

I am usually suspicious of restaurants in Malls, but went there based on reviews and had a much better than expected experience. The setting on the water is isolated from the noise of the mall. The cucmber mojito was great. The Thai salad appetizer was zesty. The chicken with green curry had the right amount of heat for me and... More

We heard great things before coming to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Our server was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere was absolutely worth it! We tried a couple of martinis and highly recommend the coconut martini and the cucumber martini. The food was really good and abundant. Great experience. More

A beautiful place to have a cocktail or two. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is just so inviting. Unfortunately their food is not worth the cost, for being such a high end restaurant it just leaves you feeling cheated. Then again we are big fans of Thai food and we have eaten in many places around the globe so... More

This is one of the most romantic restaurants that we've ever been to. Another couple on our trip came back after eating there and raved about it so much that the group decided to go the next night. We were not disappointed and, if anything, they undersold the experience. The staff was very good and the food was top notch.... More

We loved everything we ate. The place, its locaton, everything was fantastic!!! The chicken satay was perfectly cooked so was the chicken panang that was one of the best we have ever eaten..maybe the best. Only one little negative thing: it's not a cheap restaurant but we think it's definitely worth it. More
