With respect to your "review"
We welcome reviews that are accurate, honest and factual.
Your "review" is none of the above.
To accurately state what happened, you were requested by the manager, in a polite manner, to stop taking photographs which is against our policy. It is an invasion of our other patrons privacy.
You responded to his request in a rude and agressive manner. I then asked you to leave. No threats, implied or otherwise were made. I had no interest in what you were writing. You describe yourself as "an elderly fellow' while describing me as a "tall, bald and distinctly unpleasant fellow" is no doubt designed to conjure up an image in the readers mind of my being some sort of thug who was about to kick your walking sticks out from under you. About the only thing you got right in your "review" is that I am bald. I am also 63yrs old and from my recollection you were somewhat younger, not elderly. In any event, two geriatrics squaring off was never an option.
As for your "review" I comment as follows;
Wine. We carry 40 labels, 17 from NZ which produces some of the best wines in the world. The fact I am a New Zealander is incidental. We also carry wines from Australia, France, Italy, Chile and Argentina.
Sorry you did not enjoy your two glasses of Stonefish Shiraz which along with the Sauvignon Blanc was recently awarded the Premium Wine Award at the FBAT Wine Challenge. It is also available at Banyan Tree Resorts if you are passing by. All our wines are listed by variety, year of bottling and country of origin. Malbec is Malbec, Merlot is Merlot. To suggest we are trying to confuse our customers just shows your lack of knowledge.
Food. You are confusing a caesar salad with the Serrano Ham with mixed salad leaves and parmesan that you ordered. Caesar salads do not have palma ham which you have obviously confused with the serrana.Our executive chef worked at the 2 Michelin Star Restaurant Landhouse Scherver and the 5 star Bistro Rive and I can assure you he understands the ingredients of a caesar salad. If you had eaten the caesar, romaine is not imported into Thailand. We use local product which is excellent and fresh daily.
The Band. Sorry you didn't like the band. The also play at the renowned Saxaphone Club and the Hua Hin Jazz Festival but you can't please everyone.
"Apparently he has embroiled himself in business conflicts that compel him to be very cautious" Perhaps you could enlighten me and the readers with this defamatory comment.
In summary, next time you write a "review" of any place can I suggest that you stick to the facts, educate yourself a little more on food and wine, tell the truth and cut down on the vitriole.
