Nice food, great location, right on the beach. The menu is a mix of Thai and European so most everyone can find something they like

I have been to this beach bar restaurant 3 times during my stay on the recommendation of my friend from the UK. The food is fantastic and served in a relaxed environment in a lovely location on the famous white sands of Lamai Beach. Let's not get confused - this is not meant to be the silver service fine dining... More

Really don't go here, we never really give bad reviews, but this place was terrible from the start. Service was very poor. Started with the waiter bringing the wrong starters, then when he changed them the chicken was raw. Returned this and should have walked out, but thought it could get no worst. But it did. The mains took over... More

Service is good, smiling and efficient. The menu is very huge and I choosed Thai food. I didn't regret my choice. Prices are fair for the location on the lamai beach bay. The bad point is: location is difficult to find.

The food was good, but the location was better. Right on the beach, you can get a table with your feet in the sand. The prices are reasonable, and the service is nice enough. It's not the best restaurant in the world, but if you want to dine on the beach in Lamai, it's a good choice. One thing to... More

I did eat here one night, and the food was fine. The reason for this review is to point out that The Black Pearl, which is situated on the southern end of Lamai beach, is the only place we found that serves 100 Baht cocktails till closing time - 10pm. There are 60 cocktails on the menu, including the ingredients,... More

I have eaten here about 5 times. The food is decent. Not amazing, but good. The service is good, and attentive. The location right on a lovely beach, near the south end of Lamai beach is great. Definitely worth a visit. This place is a little gem. The staff are friendly and helpful. Priced comparably to other beach spots, the... More
