Waiter did not understand when trying to order pineapple juice then made a face when he eventually knew what we were asking for (it is on the menu!) Ordered fish cakes which were tasteless and the only fitting description is rubber (these were refunded but doesn't take away from the disappointment) Order chicken curry... £16.80 and didn't come with rice! it was extremely watery, the large chicken pieces were hard and whilst only having a spoon and fork eating it became very difficult. Scallops - fine line when cooking scallops but unfortunately these were slightly undercooked. With the refund in place we left £50 lighter still hungry and extremely disappointed.

It was top notch. Happened to be day of Thai king's death, so front of house was more subdued than the artistic plates coming out of the kitchen. Next visit (we will!) They should be up to speed.

I took my friends from out of town to Patara, and we had an unbelievably good experience here. Out waiter was friendly and humourous. He recommended some entrees to us and made jokes and made us roar with laughter the entire night. The atmosphere at Patara is warm and unpretentious, and although the food was a tad on the small side, it was delicious. Highly recommended :)

Im sorry to say that the food was below par. And VERY expensive for the portion sizes. Scallops, a delicate food and tricky to get the cooking time right on, were just 3...yes 3, and they were swimming in milky red hot spices. Wine by the glass was way over priced. As for the cost of mineral : Daylight robbery. Last time I went there, on one of the hottest days of the year, the air con wasnt working. I remember when it was an excellent Thai restaurant called S&P. I had one starter shared, two main courses between myself and my daughter and myself, a glass of decent white wine, and one pudding. Oh and a bottle of water. The Bill with service : Just under a £100. I wont be going back.

We visited Patara on 20 August 2016. We enjoyed a lovely meal with excellent service. I would say that the restaurant is looking quite dated now and was quite stuffy. So much so that an old pedestal stand was being used in the dining area. Other opportunities for improvement is their cocktail menu. We tried their Mojito champagne cocktail which was a big disappointing. The food was very nice, cocked quickly and bought to the table immediately however the menu could also benefit from a bit of a refresh as there was nothing too original. All in all, a nice restaurant with good food and great service but look elsewhere for an exceptional meal/evening.

The staff was lovely and accommodating. We had a toddler and a vegan in our party. The staff answered all our queries and were incredibly patient. The food as always was amazing. It is not a cheap dinner, but cannot fault the service or food. We will definitely be back!

The quality of the food was good but they supplied the wrong order for the starter and for the mains brought rice instead of noodles. Too much haste on behalf od the waiting staff as seems they want people to come and go quickly. Once we were onto deserts more than half the clients had left and staff became more relaxed. Would go back again

Terrible service and staff! The staff were more concerned about closing the kitchen than serving us and we receieved a hurried service which was quite frankly rude and unhelpful. For a lunch for 3 costing £100 it's not what I expected and in London with a million dining options I certainly won't be returning no matter how tasty the food.

Above average food - fresh, tasty. Interesting menu - delicious black cod with ginger, tender roast beef with shiitake mushrooms, yummy tiger prawns curry. Sticky rice a little too super glue. Thai red wine the perfect complement.
