When I went it was a fairly new restaurant. I would recommend tourists and locals to come here because it can accommodate many preferences and pallets from Thai food, grills, western to sushi. The staff are more than polite, nice, kind and willing to help you where they can. They are more than happy to recommend something from the menu or explain exactly what each dish is. The food looked absolutely amazing that I just wanted to dig in and eat which I then nearly forgot to take a picture each time same goes with the drinks and desserts. That also goes to say that the food tasted amazing, tasted so good that we were happy to come again! They also have live music when I went there and they set the mood nicely. If I ever come again to krabby I'll definitely visit again! Kap Khun krap!!!!

Just landed at Krabi and stepped out to this place which had nice food - we chose Thai here but the menu was extensive that included continental items too. The best part was the live band which couldn’t have done better to elevate the atmosphere what with the lady’s vocals to the guitarist and an awesome saxophonist. We had a good Friday night to begin the weekend in the country

Awesome vibe and really nice to chill and relax in Krabi town. Live music were fantastic. Highly recommended !!

This is the best restaurant in thailand!!! Cheap prices compared to the really really good food, if i could give it 10 stars i would!!

Nice atmosphere! warmth and coziness. There are variety of food to order, from local to western menu. The food is very tasty. I would recommend this place to hang out with friend or chill out with family.

Food for everyone! A lot of vegetarian options, healthy and delicious! The ambiente was amazing with live music in a cute garden and the service was very attentive. We highly recommend it! (But the portions could be bigger)

Elaborate food and drinks menu. The English menu is a Google Translate version of the Thai menu (..). Food menu: pick the Thai dishes (pork chop was dry, squid was perfect). Spicy degree is negotiable. Excellent cocktails. Very good music: good singer, enjoyable without blocking conversations. Good ambiance! Update: went back 4 days later. Amazing live music from the three sisters band. Again, good cocktails and great food. Why go downtown Krabi when the superior quality is here?!

I’m staying at a hotel nearby for one night and came here for dinner on a Friday night. The wait staff was very attentive and the live music - a solo piano player - was incredible!! I got the green curry with chicken and roti, which was really tasty. The roti was especially great. Only about 10% of the menu is translated into English, so as someone who doesn’t speak any Thai, I felt limited in what I could (or felt comfortable to) order. Any way, I would still recommend for dinner, drinks, dessert and a good time!
