Anticipate bus loads of tourists. Food was prepared and served very fast. Due to the jungle decor and many water features like rhe waterfalls there are mosquitoes but the staff provided fans. Prices are reasonable and food quality is good but on the smaller portion size.
Banana fritters (pic) was awesome!
Will revisit again next time during the day

Michelin accredited restaurant from year 2020 to year 2023.
Spacious restaurant with 350 seats. There are indoor air conditioning seats, open air covered seats and outdoor seats along the lake.
Lakeside seating is so pleasant and relaxing. Lots of trees and vegetation around. Nice bathroom. Crowded with tourists.
Food quality and presentation is a bit below standard. Waiters look tired and not attentive.
For the price charged, I expect higher standards of food quality and customer service.
Please note that the restaurant has an afternoon break from 3pm to 5pm.

If perfect scores are 10, I’ll give’em 12.
Clean and farm with nice view.
staffs are very respectful and speak English(good for visitors )
It’s not just a restaurant or cafe, It’s garden in the city.
And even the toilet is cute and large.
Highly recommend it❤️

Let me start off that this review in no way is to tarnish the restaurants reputation, simply speaking for my own personal experience of course.
-Let me start off with the service: One negative was how long it took for them to acknowledge me to give me the menu, and take my order, I’d say I waited about 30min. I tried flagging multiple people down but everyone was scrambling around.
Several groups of people came and order after I did and somehow they received their food way before I did. Other than that, staff was friendly and kind.
-Second, I ordered the veggie spring rolls (wasn’t a fan personally 2/10: contains an ingredient im not a fan of) , chicken wings (8/10), white rice, and fried snapper (7.5/10).
For the price, Food was okay, nothing out of this world. Personally I’ve had better fried snappers with more flavor in other countries. But overall food was ok.
-Last, the vibe and environment is pretty cool. Mainly the reason I wanted to come and eat here. Surrounded by nature makes you feel like you’re actually dining in the jungle.
Overall I’d give this place a 6.5/10. I’d come back for the views.

One of the best looking places to dine in Chiang Mai. Lots of beautiful, healthy plants all over. The stunning small lake with mirror effect looks amazing right before sunset. Food is alright, drinks tastes pretty great except for some being a little too sweet. Even the toilet is really aesthetic.
Now, onto the bad side:
1. We called the morning of the day to book a table for dinner, but we were told that bookings aren't allowed. So, we walked in 10 mins before opening, and before there was even anyone, we were told all tables were booked. When I take a peek of the list of people who have booked, 99% of them are locals or tour groups. The front desk person couldn't explain why he couldn't give us a table even for walk-in...Eventually, 5-8 mins after opening, we got assigned to the table.
2. Unfriendly staff. So far all the places I have dined in Chiang Mai, all the staff were pleasant or if not, not negative. However, from the moment of entering and exiting the place, all of the staff looks unhappy and not welcoming at all. Kinda spoils the mood.
3. Mosquitoes.
FYI: This place is VERY touristy unfortunately. We got lucky to have a table at a pretty good spot, but bear in mind that massive tour groups will be taking the best spots.

The most beautiful restaurant in Chiang Mai and the most beautiful I ever seen. It feel like you are in a magical forest with waterfalls and coy fonds. And the food is also great, I had the fries rice with pineapple as someone here recommend (thanks someone) and it was delicious.
The service was quick and I came without a reservation just as they opened and it was fine.
I would definitely go back and I put my strongest recomandation on this one.

Beautiful and relaxing place with colorful flowers and little man-made streams and small lake. Very crowded for dinner with tourist groups. We need to wait for a long time for our table. Good food but the portions aren’t generous. Waiters are helpful and attentive.

We took some out of town friends here for dinner on a saturday night. the place was crawling with bussed in tourists from china. If you come here, be ready for bad service. the food is pretty good but there’s very limited service. they are very nice when you can get their attention. Don’t order the crab omelette. not good. everything else we had came out very well done
