SIMILAN ON THE BAY

I had an amazing experience at Similan on the Bay. The restaurant is beautifully designed with a warm, modern atmosphere, chic teal booths, stylish bar seating, and cozy outdoor tables overlooking the water. The views are absolutely spectacular, especially at sunset. The staff was exceptional. Mia and the rest of the team were so attentive and welcoming. Service was prompt, and friendly. The food was delicious. Combined with the ambiance and service, it was a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend stopping by.

I had a wonderful time! The food was very good, and the service was excellent. The waitresses were friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing! I came here to celebrate my birthday and I had an awesome time there. The food was really good the drinks were really good as well. Our server was really sweet. Recommend getting a patio seat before summer ends.

Amazing experience! The food, drinks, and service were all awesome, and the space is beautiful. Instantly became one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!

The food is absolutely delicious, the decor is amazing, the restaurant has a great atmosphere, and the staff is excellent. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try.

Food was on point. The furniture was modern and high quality. The restaurant is right on the water. Ticha was our server and she came with incredible energy. It was pricey but not too crazy and definitely worth the price. I plan on coming here more often.

Gorgeous views and wonderful decor. Food was amazing. Service was top notch.

Everything about the new Thai restaurant Screams Delightful! From the moment you walk in, you are welcome by a wonderful host who sit you out on the beautiful back deck over looking the bay.. Everything in the restaurant was Recently redone: It’s definitely an elevated experience! The food has to be some of the best Thai food I have ever had! Ten out of ten for everything! We got a couple of our regular dishes and some great suggestions from our Waitress Puefei. She was very knowledgeable with the menu. She took her time to explain things. With her suggestions, we were able to try a few new dishes that we were very pleased with! I also like to add the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The music was nice and it wasn’t too loud. We were able to talk and enjoy our dinner. This place is a great vibe. We will definitely be back what a great and so much needed addition to the neighborhood!!

First time we went service and food was truly delicious and all the staff were very welcoming. Second visit hostess barely looked up or interacted with us just brought us to the table and left. Our waitress was wearing a hat with a political statement that we found offensive. Hope these issues are addressed so we can feel comfortable going there again. I also feel if the waitresses are wearing hats it should have the restaurants logo not sports teams or political statements.

Wife and I just had dinner at Similan's on the bay and we had a very nice experience. Appetizer that we had were the calamari which is served a little differently, but very tasty and hot and we also had the Thai pancakes which were crispy on the outside moist and flavorful inside so they were great as well. My wife had the Masiman curry shrimp, and I had the crispy Bonita with mango sauce and it was delicious. Great addition to the Neighbourhood looking forward to going back Thank you very much William, (the proprietor) for a great night out.

We had a reservation for 7 PM and placed our order at 7:10. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. Our appetizers (beef skewers and dumplings) didn't arrive until about 35-40 minutes later, and the entrées followed just 10 minutes after that. The food itself was very disappointing. The entrées lacked flavor and spice, and the seafood was not properly cleaned--it smelled unpleasant and was completely inedible. To make matters worse, a family member ended up with food poisoning afterward. The service was equally poor. Our server was rude and, instead of acknowledging the birthday we had noted in the reservation, simply shoved the bill at us without offering dessert. When we raised this with management, they dismissed it as a "system glitch" and had no response when I asked why desserts aren't offered regardless. The only positive aspect was the drinks, which were good. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the long waits, overcrowded atmosphere, bland and unsafe food, and unprofessional service. Overall: I would not return and do not recommend this restaurant.

Housed in the former Thai Rock location, we were never satisfied with the food at the former - it seemed too bland and not "Thai-enough". So when we heard another thai spot was opening, we were praying that it would be more authentic and save us from driving to Williamsburg/Greenpoint/Manhattan for Thai Food runs. We were so pleasantly surprised with Similan on the Bay!!! Their crying tiger steak was on point; duck curry was crispy and flavorful and their scallop curry with grilled scallops was so much better than the one we had at FishcheeksWilliamsburg ... It was a busy Friday evening with live music (though a bit on the loud side) the staff was very attentive + helped make our night out a success Thank you! We can't wait to go back

The new Thai place is very nicely decorated! Very modern with a beachy vibe! Love the gold utensils. The service was friendly and helpful with recommendations. The food came out quick and hot! The scallion pancakes were delicious! The pad se ew was excellent!! I will be back!

The ambiance in this restaurant is peaceful and magical, the view is unique and the inside dining area is equally as beautiful as the outside dining area. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar for a quick meal before the ferry came and we loved it, the bartender was very nice and my drink was so tasty. The food was also really delicious and beautifully prepared. Everyone was very nice and accommodating I can't wait to come back and spend more time at this special gem.

Easily the best Thai place we've ever eaten. Authentic, delicious food, and our waiter Jack was there almost all the time. The atmosphere was quietly elegant and completely enjoyable. But above all, come for the food.

Food was horrible overpriced I ordered a dish and they said they could not make it without the sauce in it why they could not do that I don't know all the dishes are made to order the service was horrible as well brought the apps over before the drinks and the waitress kept pushing more drinks and food to up the bill so she can get a better tip which was included in the bill so that would explain why she did not pay much attention to us it was better when it was Thai rock

I have to make an update to a previous review. We spoke to the owner about our few concerns and they were addressed immediately. Can't say enough good things about the staff, food, service and ambience. We have been here four times in the last two weeks with every meal being something truly delicious and authentic tasting. Duck curry, Thai dumplings, soft shell crabs, chive pancakes, mock duck pad see ew; I could go on and on. Don't miss this place! Worth a trip from anywhere!
