We were charged for 2 bottles of wine at $80 each when all we had was 2 x $18 glasses. I also gave a tip prior to us being overcharged and never got the tip money back. Yes they were busy, yes it was NYE, but left a totally disappointed taste in our mouths. Felt like they were out to rip us off!

Really authentic Thai food with quality and fresh ingredients. I had the kingfish crudo which was tasty and fresh. The service was excellent, we started off with some of their take on traditional cocktails and they were very yummy.

Cons: Very slow service (45min to get our drinks and 1st dish), errors with the drinks (brought Pinot noir instead of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir instead of Grenache), 2/3 of the dishes were average (pork larb was very salty, Massaman beef very dry, only 2 prawns for prawns glass noodles for a table of 3), overall pretty expensive ($150 per head with the set menu + drinks), very noisy upstairs Pros: some of the dishes were tasty (prawns skewers), we did get an extra prawns glass noodles after complaining about the 2 prawns for 3 people

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Thai Tide! We enjoyed the set banquet, which was great value for money, and the food arrived quickly, allowing us to catch our show! The atmosphere was ambient, and waitstaff attentive!
