Siam Yacht Club

Came on a Sunday evening. Delicious food, impeccable service with a unbeatable view by the Chao Praya River. I would like to praise the two managers on duty that night (21 Dec 25) for their attentiveness to even the smallest detail. Two of the dishes are slightly salty or tough and they immediately noticed it even though there isn’t alot of leftovers. Guess their standards and confidence in their chefs make them fully confident that everyone will leave with a full tummy and empty plates thus when there is even abit of leftovers, they knew something is wrong.

The Siam Yacht Club is situated by the river, with stunning views of the businesses (and hotels) across. There is so much to see, including the multitude of cruise boats and barges carrying on their daily business. It is in short, a fantastic location to dine. There is both inside and outside seating. The latter is disturbed by the complimentary hotel shuttle traffic that takes place every half hour. So it was a no brainer, to sit inside, still with an open arrangement and if you select well, you will be in the vicinity of the open kitchen. I came here to partake in their celebration of Maine Lobster dishes. Disappointingly, only three options. I chose the Butter Poached Maine Lobster (Salted Egg Yolk-Curry Powder Sauce Braised Celery /Spinach / Red Chili / Coriander). An exceptional dish. Lobster portion was small, poached perfect to come out tender and succulent. Also ordered the truffle mashed potatoes, more a puree, still excellently prepared with texture and flavor. This restaurant also has an enticing regular menu. However, there was an aspect of my dining experience here that was disturbing. It was about one bottled water that I ordered with my meal. I was charged for it. For one, plain water should be complimentary. Two, several of the same bottles are provided free of charge in the room. Three, in the big scheme of things, after ordering lobster, wine, and a side, the charge for a bottle of water is irrelevant. But it is the principle of the matter. I brought it up with the hostess, and she refused to budge or care. Why nickel and dime guests to taint an otherwise, pleasant evening?

Siam Yacht Club offers a great seafood experience over phenomenal views of the riverfront. It is located at the Sheraton hotel and we were able to find a table quickly. Some tables have better views but require reservation. The food was decent and the fish was fresh but flavors and seasoning were a bit lacking. The service was just average and nothing special. The servers were distracted and forgot to bring utensils, remove empty plates, or check on us. The menu is diverse with lots of seafood and other meats options. Prices are around what is expected for hotel restaurants.
