Atmosphere
Pros:
"We were seated downstairs, and it felt secluded in a good way."
"It has a great Ambience & plenty of food options to choose from."
"The atmosphere is lovely as it felt like we're in an indoor garden and I would say it is very instagram worthy."
"The atmosphere and design of this resturant is absolutely stunning."
"The restaurant was bustling and the staff were welcoming."
"The restaurant is really wonderful. We sit inside the cage, of which the decoration is amusing."
"Having booked a table inside it was a beautiful sunny evening so we asked if we could sit outside and were happily accommodated."
Cons:
"The downstairs seating area could do with some love and care, because upstairs looks so much nicer and seems to have a much better atmosphere as a result."
"The dining area to be overcrowded, hot and noisy."
"The restaurant though, had a lot of character. The staff, especially the maitre D, weren't the best."
Service
Pros:
"The service was absolutely brilliant and the food was heavenly."
"The service was excellent and the atmosphere warm and welcoming."
"Although it was full, we got our order in less time."
"The staff were obviously new but working very hard."
"Friendly and polite staff, The starters were good, we had the chicken satay and mixed platter."
"Excellent service and fantastic food! It was very busy due to the Bath Christmas market but the staff were still very friendly and efficient."
Cons:
"The service was very slow, there were plenty of staff and it was not even busy."
"The service was good throughout, attentive but not overbearing, but I found the dining area to be overcrowded, hot and noisy."
"Service however was below par in my opinion. We were left waiting for 10 minutes by the bar, having been told to wait by the person behind the bar."
"Food was fine but service was very poor. 20 mins after arrival our drinks arrived minus a glass! No one bothered to check if we wanted another drink or a dessert."
"The food was quite good and, for the first time in a long time, something marked as hot was actually hot. The service however was slow, waiting almost 45 minutes between starter and main."
"The food was good, but the service was slow and our waiter was unprofessional."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food is what I’m writing the review for. It was incredible!"
"The food was super tasty & delicious."
"The Giggling Squid does not disappoint. It is really good Thai food in a lovely setting."
"Had a really good experience. Lamb shank Massaman was really tasty. The noodles were good too."
"The chicken satay is delicious. The sticky chicken is my favourite dish."
"The crispy slow cooked beef was a revelation. My daughter’s(3) peanut sauce chicken skewer was “sooo good, delicious and scrumptious”."
"The food was amazing! The honey duck and the weeping beef with one rice to share... empty plates all round."
Cons:
"The food was OK, nothing to write home about!"
"The one bite salmon was a little too complex for my undeveloped taste."
"Food was really good, and nice wine. Starters came out really quickly but over an hour between starters and mains."
"Figuring out the allergy menu was a little tricky, but overall a good experience in a lovey building!"
"Authenticity isn't the forte of this establishment - pad thai was way too sweet, Chicken wings were dry and over-salted."
"Unfortunately, the mains were mostly good, however the panang curry, which was listed as a 1 chilli dish on the menu, was extremely hot and difficult to enjoy without adding additional rice."
"My food tasted nice (vegan) but I don't think it was worth the hassle or money."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The prices are pretty reasonable and the food is yummy."
"The cost is not very high."
"Very tasty selection of food. However they were out of sticky chicken when I went so could not order what I wanted!"
"I found the food was alright, not the best I’ve had but the atmosphere made up for that."
"The food was decent and satisfied our craving for Thai, but lacked the full flavor that we are used to back home and was a little on the pricey side."
"We had a 3 course meal and I can't fault any of it."
"Always delicious food. Online ordering nice and easy. Ready for collection on time."
Cons:
"Lastly, although prices were decent, I think that if you’re going to charge the better part of £20 for a main then SIDES SHOULD BE INCLUDED."
"The one main arrived… but this meal was now the meal of our neighbour! We were very hungry so started eating but I quickly realised, mine was not the dish I had ordered as it included prawns… which I cannot eat."
"We had the sharing platter which is great if you are looking for a light bite. We also had the honey duck and the weeping beef with one rice to share... empty plates all round."
"I found my portions a bit too small."
"I imagine it would be better if fresh as the sauce was tasty. Prawn crackers were also missing from the order."
"Overpricedfor all you get. The a £14 portion of curry, with no rice was way too small for that price and i left feeling hungry."
"I have respect for places that say costs have increased and we need to charge more. Fair enough, but I don't ever expect to pay the same for less."
