I was at the restaurant with my wife, we stopped for lunch before departure.
The atmosphere is generally cool and expensive, the staff is very friendly and courteous, not annoying, as in many restaurants in the city.
We ordered Tom yam with shrimp, noodles with shrimp, house rolls, chocolate fondue.
All the main dishes were taken out very quickly, just respect, considering that we didn't have much time.
And now to the unpleasant thing - the quality of the dishes.
Tom Yam: The first thing that surprised me was that he didn't have coconut milk. The broth itself is like eating not Tom yam, but very strongly peppered broth with miso, it's just very strange. There are a lot of mushrooms and a couple of small shrimps floating in the broth, and there was also a slice of ginger. Comparing with restaurants in Russia (I'm not even talking about Thailand), the level of a weak eatery opened by people who have not visited Asia. In general, 1/ 5
The noodles were not bad, 2 types of shrimp, well cooked, delicious sauce. But not wow. 4/5
Rolls: I really liked them, they are tender, they literally melt in my mouth. The ingredients are perfectly balanced. I would like a little more fish, but maybe it would upset the balance. 5/5.
But we didn't get to Fondan. Its preparation was somehow delayed (they stayed for 50 minutes) and did not have time to take it out. To the credit of the restaurant, it was canceled without question.

It seems like a relatively high-level restaurant. We ordered Yunmin Puer, two tom-yams, bone marrow with veal tartare, Philadelphia rolls and Spicy tuna. Two stars purely for tea and bone marrow.
1. The tea is excellent, earthy, dispersed a little.
2. Tom-yam is some kind of joke, soup with champignons and one quartered shitaki, one cherry tomato and two shrimps. The broth is not aggressive, the tomato spice was there, the Kaffir lime is still floating in the plate, there is no lemongrass, for that there is a tired parsley. 18 manats, let me remind you.
3. The bone marrow is cooked perfectly, the onion is on top, it has delicious and crispy bread with a light glaze. But with tartare, it's the opposite, subjectively unpleasant sour sauce, so you won't understand if the meat is fresh. And so according to the standard - cucumbers and onions.
4. There are no special complaints about Philadelphia, but they have moved away from the classics a little bit
5. Spicy tuna roll, oh, first of all, spicy mayonnaise is not spicy mayonnaise at all, but just some kind of sour paprika sauce. Secondly, instead of pieces of tuna, there are husks, torn fibers, not a buzz at all.
There are 0 complaints about the service, the atmosphere is also pleasant. You can come to tea!

We read the reviews about the restaurant, but decided to check it out for ourselves anyway and made sure that the cuisine is really quite mediocre, despite the pomposity of the place itself and its pricing policy.
We took spider rolls and pad thai noodles and something like a non-alcoholic fruit cocktail from the main menu.
The dishes are about 1500 rubles, the drink is about 1000 rubles. - definitely not worth this money.
Rolls: small, with rice "bald spots", look poor.
Pad thai: a good portion of noodles, lots of sprouts, there are small shrimp (I would say micro), pieces of chicken, a handful of peanuts separately. It doesn't taste like pad thai, just a set of these products in a sweet sauce.
Drink: It is important for me that there are no syrups (or that it is clearly spelled out in the menu). The base is most likely apple juice, with lumps of kiwi and strawberry and with syrup (the waiter did not hide the presence of syrup).
The service is good, but it should be noted that at that time there were only 3 tables with guests.
We won't go a second time (what can you say about the cheese factory, Marie Ivanna)
