Positive User: Had a very pleasant meal here. Pictures speak for themselves; each dish will blow you away. Chicken was incredibly tender and juicy. Fries (I forgot the name) are good af! Highly recommend for your next meal with friends and loved ones! Thanks for the great experience team!
Positive User: What a beautiful hotel first when you enter in. Walking around and arrive to Brasserie palmier. Nice location in front of the river and beautiful decoration. Traditional French dishes well executed. The women that took care of my table was extremely good and attentive during all the service. Peaceful break from crowded Bangkok, I will definitely come back.
Positive User: Great foods and Service.
Four Stars
Positive User: Upmarket restaurant. Beautiful decor and calming water surroundings creates a special ambience. Very quiet on a midweek lunch so got good tables each time. Steak tartare is good as I’ve had, beer cold and many by the glass wine options. Pleasant yet unobtrusive service. Prices very reasonable for the serving portions. Good English spoken by the well-trained and very well-groomed staff When I didn’t want still or sparkling water, wasn’t given a third option of just iced water, and no cold face towel offered, not that it means they don’t have them. The last 2 points are a given at The Verandah at the Oriental.
Positive User: very cozy place for brunch with the river view. The food is good and i like dessert the most.
Positive User: French restaurant that serves lots of seafood. Almost there but not quite.

Three Stars
Neutral User: The food is quite good. A little too salty. Beautiful restaurant in the Four Season Hotel. High prices. Delicious desserts.
Neutral User: The prawn should be deveined before serving in my opinion
Neutral User: It is all good ambiance, good food in general but just:
– Staff is too pro-active and doesnt leave the customer enjoying his food in peace always coming amd asking something unnecessary.
– Please dont call that soupe a bouillabesse but rather call it seafood lobster bisc. It is a digrace for Marseille and for the bouillabesse itself.

Negative User: Please update operating hours on google maps. Came at 14:15 but was sent away saying that kitchen closed at 14:00 while google maps suggests 14:30. No 5 star service for guests coming all the way (from sukhumvit area) to try a new location.
Disappointing first experience…
Negative User: Ambience lovely. Tasty butter. Many wines have offered by the bottle unavailable. Fish dish served -oops- they forgot the fish/ did anyone from management offer an apology for this egregious error? After we waited 20 minutes when the fish was served- after prompting our waiter- it STUNk!!! the broccoli was so overcooked -pathetic. Steak frites- you must be joking. Steak tartare… obviously the chef/Sous chef has never had proper steak tartare. The butter for the rolls was excellent. Sad! Diner food
Negative User: For better food and experience, please walk across the swimming pool to Riva Del Fiume restaurant. Not impressed by the taste of the food here at all.
One Star
Negative User: Here for new years eve dinner.
1. Need to wait for 20min-25mins for every each dish.
2. They gave us dishes by disorder (not as a list in order) and then recommended that I should eat well-cooked one and then raw food
3. The price is 14,124 BHT net per person.
4. Clams were tough due to a long cook
I don’t know why they make a course menu on this special day.
Could be much better
Negative User: A shameful experience.
This review is inspired in part by the manager of this sub-par establishment whose belligerence was only overshadowed by the poor performance of this restaurant.
I recently made the mistake of booking Brasserie Palmier as an alternative venue for my birthday lunch given some some of the recent word of mouth descriptions about how things had changed for the worst at the Mandarin Oriental’s Le Normandie, given the departure of its previous chef to greener pastures. This turned out to be a grave error of judgement.
Some of the warning signs were present when we arrived at the Four Seasons which appeared largely deserted and so we were left to fend for ourselves in locating the restaurant and when we arrived we were initially shunted to the nasty table at the rear of the restaurant (we moved outside of our own initiative immediately). Being mostly empty and that I had flagged it was for a special occassion I found this curious but it was an omen of what was to follow which included: burnt bread rolls, the worst steak tartare I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve been to some dodgy French establishments in my day), a flavourless grilled octopus dish on a bed of gritty mashed potato (we were later told is was a foam…which is a stretch of the imagination given how dense it was) a pedestrian, albeit competent scallop tartare, followed by a flavourless Sole Grenobloise.
Our main waiter to be fair tried to make the best of a bad situation but when it was noted that we didn’t think much of the food a succession of other waiters and then managers came to “ask” why we didn’t like the food. The tone was clearly inquisitorial, not concerned. When we explained clearly that it wasn’t up to scratch we were infomed that we didn’t understand the dishes…I mean really, talk about asking for a spade when you’ve already dug a hole…
If there was a theme to this depressing experience it was an abundance of bland flavours with ingredients of suspect freshness and provenance, which is really unacceptable at this level of venue and price point. Disgusted we paid the bill (effectively paying to not eat), left behind most of a bottle of wine, and went to a street food reasturant to have a proper lunch. Lesson learned, won’t bother again and will actively recommend against it.
