Reviews from Google
Everything was incredibly delicious. We ordered the lamb ribs, seabass, tuna, Caesar salad with shrimp, chicken with mashed potatoes for the kids, and a dessert. We also had a bottle of Sauvignon — it complemented the meal perfectly. Everything was truly top-level. We also appreciated the lovely complimentary macarons — such a nice and thoughtful touch. A special thank-you to the staff. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch the name of one waiter, but the other one, Sub, was wonderful. The service was attentive, friendly, and very professional. We were especially impressed by how well they treated the kids — you can really see they try their best to make children feel comfortable and happy. We truly enjoyed our experience and will definitely come back again. A great place with delicious food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!
Took my husband to Rocks Restaurant for Birthday dinner. ordered lamb and fried fish, the quality is so high and food is also tasty. nice environment. Most importantly, Fon and all the staff are super nice, very professional service,. They even surprised us with birthday cake, a difinitely amazing experience. Highly recommended

Would also love to try staying here next time. The lobster noodle is awesome. Suggest to sit inside because of so many mosquitos.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
