Hilltop pattaya
The view is the reason to come here, and for some people that'll be enough. It's a rooftop spot up on Khao Talo hill, the food is built around sharing plates with a real chilli kick, and the cocktails get consistent praise for being well made. What doesn't get praise is the wait for them. Reviewers describe fifteen minutes for a drink, then having to ask separately for water, for menus, for napkins. The basics aren't landing.
Something changed here. People who ate at the same address when it ran as a different restaurant say the standard has dropped, and the recent write-ups back that up: cold food, wrong orders, wine listed but unavailable. One New Year's booking ended with no reserved table and a three-hour wait for a main that never arrived. Prices sit at the higher end, which makes all of that harder to forgive. Go for sunset drinks and a couple of sharing dishes, keep expectations low, and don't build a special occasion around it.

Reviews from Google
Took a little while to get a drink, like 15 minutes. Had to ask for water separately. And had to ask for a food menu. And had to ask for napkins. Seems like many of the standard restaurant procedures were missing. The view is quite nice. The food is good; some dishes were way better than other dishes. It was still pretty spicy even though I asked for less spicy. Drinks were well made, they just took forever.
I intended to go to the countdown for the new year but it was too bad for me. Booked a table and didn't get the reserved table. Food was too cold Ordered soup and was served wrong. Ordered wine but it was written in the menu that it was there and then just came to say that they didn't have it. I ordered the main course and waited for 3 hours for the food to not be served. I went last year, good atmosphere, good staff, very good food, but coming this year,Terrible.
(ex Pineapple Restaurant @ Sky Lounge) 7 months ago the food was 5 stars, now 0 stars! One of the most horrible dinner i never have!

You'll leave covered in mud, elephant saliva and probably worse, and that's the whole point.

Loud, neon, adults-only after dark, and the seafood is easier before the 9pm crush.

A hand-carved wooden giant still under construction, and watching the carpenters work is half the point.
Nongnooch Pattaya Garden
Half a day minimum, 500 acres of themed gardens and dinosaurs, and you'll want to be there by 8am.

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.
