@Siam

Lovely evening

We had lots of time to kill before the late show at Ronnie Scott's and this is a good restaurant to visit if you want to linger – the main reason being the service is pretty slow. I wouldn't choose @Siam for a speedy pre theatre dinner. That aside the service was friendly, polite and apologetic for the wait and they were very busy. We had a great table looking out onto Frith Street and the soho comings and goings. The food was lovely. We had the A la carte menu and there was an interesting and varied choice. The lamb stew with the red curry sauce was delicious, really tender chunks of lamb in a very tasty spicy sauce. We enjoyed everything we ate. I would definitely go back. If you book to be seated by 7:30 the current 25% off the food made the meal for two with two starters, two mains, rice, noodles, prawn crackers, a shared pudding and a reasonable bottle of wine a very reasonable £60 including service.

It must firstly be said that overall, our experience at @Siam was very enjoyable…eventually. After being taken to the dining room upstairs and forgotten about, I waited for at least 20minutes before even being offered a drink. Once ordered, along with some prawn crackers, this took another 15 minutes to come…AFTER the prawn crackers – not the best way to ‘wet’ the palate. The food was quite delicious though – highly recommended would be the Prawn Tempura with honey mayonnaise, and the Steamed Seabass with garlic, chilli and lime dressing (also friendly with the attempt at a January detox!). Once on a roll, the service was attentive, just a shame about the start.
