I want to go to that sirocco restaurant... the rooftop one. I think thats what its called anyway. My gf said its too expensive.

Has anyone ever been there. is it nice. how much is it? if anyone knows anything about that place i'd appreciate it ^^

cheers

I went there in June. Sure, it is expensive, but seeing as where it is situated, (63rd floor of the Lebua State Tower), the view, the food,the service etc., that is to be expected. I have seen reviews from people saying that the food wasn't that great, but I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Take your camera!!

it was quite a let down for me, it wasnt as grand or unique as they promoted themself to be.

Banyan tree is better for a roof top atmosphere.... but the food was a bit standard for their price.

and i dont really understand this weird tf trend where u have a profile saying youre single but post journal talking about your gf.

oh I'm sorry i rarely come here. havent updated since i met my gf.

thanks for the info too ^^

now im married. i hope ur happy

OoO.. I have tried both, but I have to say, the view at least is far far better from State tower.

I know that is only a part of the whole experience. Also, sometimes at Vertigo the atmosphere has been a bit...dead, for the want of a better word. Just my view. No pun intended :-)

well both sound like a step up from McDonalds. pun absolutely intended.

REALLY?? i thought sirocco was too 'cafeteria' for me! The tables and chairs were like... poor budget. The food i thought was so-so.... the only thing i like out of sirocco was the live singer.

banyan tree ... on the other hand.... was also below what i expected...

All in all, out of 10.. id give sirocco a 5/10 but banyan tree a 5/10 too... ha ha ha... So i guess to me they are compatable.... But i wouldnt recommend ppl to go to any of them....sadly.

You may go there for a drink to get a nice view & romantic time with your girl, its valuable.

also 63rd floor of the Lebua State Tower as funky_house comment, good too. Have a good time there

nzguy, it depends on WHY u wanna go. if you just want a roof top - bangkok view experience...then sure.... but if youre looking for good food,... its a no-no................... Otherwise why dont u pop there for a couple of drinks one night to see how u like it?

yes i have been to sirocco for dinner and breeze for a drink. the view is very nice, open air, classy.....

if you want to have dinner there very expensive!!!

I've been to Sirocco, the view is great, I'd say that's the (only) major attraction for the resaurant. The food wasn't stunning and the service was not what I expected for the prices that they charge. A starter can set you back around 500 baht and a main about 1300 baht, a meal for two should be around 6000 baht.

I heard that Vertigo is better, maybe someone can comment on Vertigo?

You also have the option of Bed Supper Club which is a different dining experience and cheaper too.

greggo.... vertigo is banyan tree, sorry.

NZ just a joke dont get mad

but something made me smile in your journal

your started single, in the middle you got a gf and you finish married

hahaah dont make more journal or you will finish with more wife ,o) like a emir

just joking

sorry about Sirocco i never been there but i heard that except the view nothing more,

better you go to Bayoke tower and save your money to make a gift to your wife ,o)

Great restaurant, pricey but worth it. Expect 5k at least for two.

Pity about the view.......

sure ur [friend/gf/wife] will probably like the view and ur company..but 'personally'.. F&B at other hotels (same price range) is far much better. Enjoy ur time tho, if u go.

Go and have your dinner with your girlfriend in Baan Khanitha, (69 South Sathorn Rd.) and after that head for a drink only in the rooftop bar of the Vertigo restaurant/ Banyan Tree Hotel (21/100 South Sathorn Rd.) Its a 6 minute walk, if you dont mind the smelling garbage cans on the sidewalk...

Sirocco isnt that great, they got the view but that's about it...

the food and service also the decor isnt that great as they say on the AD.,

I have been to both Sirocco and Vertigo. it can never be too expensive for your darling girl. :"p Anyhow, It's not necessary to spend that much. Check out V9 at Sofitel Hotel, Silom. View from 37th floor, if you're a big fan of wine, it's the right place for a couple to chill out. Besides, it's not too expensive. I would say 3k for 2 for a full course. If you don't like wine from their list, you can get your desired one from their shop and it's free corkage! Wherever you decide to take her, it's not the matter of the quality of food and beverage but time with your love one. Enjoy!

I have been to both many times. The food at Sirocco sucks, but at Vertigo it's pretty good -- as befits a five-star hotel (over-priced though).

My suggestion:

Go to Sirocco exactly at 18:00 when it opens. Have a cocktail or two at the bar and watch the amazing sunset. At this time it's not too crowded. Then go and eat somewhere else.

Another point about Sirocco AND vertigo:

The menu is quite heavy on beef, lamb and there are no spicy dishes. A lot of Thai women don't eat beef or lamb and/or want some spice on their food. So actually the menu may not be to their taste

Even Baan Kannitha, I have to tell you, is aimed at preparing Thai food for foreigner's tastes. You won't find many Thais saying it is their favorite restaurant

Agree with a person above, F&B at other hotel is much better, in the same price rate. as i work in this field, i can say, most of the whole F&B team from Sirocco are already move out and start a new Fine Dinning Restaurant at the same concept in some other spot. but u never know till u be there, i suggest you to try and tell us what do u think about it

Thanks everyone for your input ^^

I think we'll go there on a special occasion.

btw i though vertigo and sirrocco were the same thing...
