   21/09/2024 1st time visiting … table for 2; Staff couldn’t have been nicer. Young lady, very helpful with one of the party needing gluten free, the chef / owner was also very polite and made you feel very welcomed. The calamari, prawn cocktail starters were delicious. The main was lobster with a chilli sauce, which was a very well cooked and beautifully tasting, one of the nicest lobsters I’ve had, very nice! As were the prawns in garlic butter main. Overall couldn’t fault anything about it. Clean, nice atmosphere and a couple of Thai beers to wash it down. Definitely got regular returning customers. Thanks again & see you soon!

   We had a very good time here, the smoked haddock chowder was lovely and the prawn spring rolls were delicious. We also had as a main course the crispy pork with red sauce with jasmine rice and the Tai style Roast duck with egg fried rice were also good and decent portions for us. The only downside was that the above and a bottle of wine cost a total of £80.00 which I find is more of a special occasion restaurant rather than a monthly treat. Although this was a very nice meal.

   It's rare to find a restaurant in Nottingham that serves fresh seafood, but the seafood there is truly delicious. I really enjoy their seafood platter, as it allows us to indulge in various styles of seafood in one go. Additionally, they offer Kid's meals that cater to children's tastes. The Pad Thai and fried rice are also incredibly tasty. The staff provides excellent service, and the restaurant has a comfortable and pleasant environment. The atmosphere is also great. Thank you for giving us a delightful evening.

   We had been wanting to visit the lobster pot for months and finally able to go out for the evening for dinner and we were unfortunately very underwhelmed with the quality of the food. After reading all the rave reviews we were expecting to be blown away but out of all the food we ordered, the best thing we had were the grilled oysters. The special of mixed seafood pad Thai was soggy and not a lot of flavour, the whole lobster was supposed to be spicy (chilli & basil) but tasted of sweet chilli dipping sauce, calamari was chewy…we so wanted to love this place but the only saving grace was our absolutely lovely waitress, Mia, who was delightful and extremely polite and attentive. We were persuaded to try oysters for the first time which was a fun experience with the help of Mia! Overall, we were disappointed by the food and the atmosphere in the restaurant. The decor is in desperate need of an update and some changes to the layout would be a welcome change. We are more than happy to pay premium if we are going to get good food but for what the lobster pot is charging we would expect better. As I said before, we so wanted to love this restaurant and I feel sad having to write a rather negative review but I think you can get much better Thai/seafood for less money and in a nicer establishment.

   Need to give a shout out having visited last night for the first time! Having booked for a group of 7, we were given an ideal table by the window. Drinks order was taken promptly followed by food order. The food we recieved was absolutely delicious, well cooked and fresh and everybody cleared their plates! Chef did a brilliant job. Also need to praise the young waiter and waitress with their attentive service, the waitress in particular as she had remember who had order what foods well enough to split the group order into individual bills correctly for us! Will definately be going back! Thank you!

   I'd been wanting to go here for ages and wasn't disappointed when we finally got chance to go. We had the sharing seafood platter and it was exquisite. The oysters were absolutely amazing but so was eveything else. Couldn't fault it at all. Well worth the money and will definitely be back!

   I had lunch here, which comes with a bonus discount! It's an informal place with friendly staff and quick service. The menu had a good variety of Thai and seafood, we had a red curry and fish special which were both pleasant and adequate portions. I felt the restaurant fell between Street food and the more elaborate eateries and as such slightly overpriced.
