We visited Chaophraya on Sunday evening and have to agree with all previous reviewers and say that everything about this restaurant is outstanding. The service is fantastic - we arrived at 4.30 and were told we could either eat in the bar from the bar menu (which is very nice for a bar menu and you can sit and watch them cooking in the open kitchen and there are some lovely booths to sit in) or we could wait till 5.00 and go in the restaurant. We decided to wait so they brought us some complimentary Thai crackers whilst we waited which helped with the hunger pangs! The building itself is beautiful and the restaurant inside is gorgeous - lots of authentic Thai furnishings and pictures. Also the menu shows some very old pictures of Thailand in the 1800's which was fantastic to see if you have been to Thailand - to see whats different and what hasn't changed. The staff are all very friendly and chatted to us about where we had been in Thailand and where they were from etc. As for the food - well I could have closed my eyes and been back in Thailand - it was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious - I could not fault any of it. This restaurant has everything - looks, ambience, service and stunning food. Also, the price is very reasonable - £45 for a two course meal for two with wine. HIGHLY recommended - can't wait to go back.
