Thai Terrace Restaurant

I recently visited Thai Terrace at Rosalie and I can say that they do serve Thai food and they do have tables on a terrace, so the restaurant is aptly named and did not disappoint in that regard.



I was there on the night of Brisbane's Riverfire which may explain why the restaurant was so quiet - or it may not. Some of the more perceptive readers will by now have clicked onto the fact that this was not one of my favourite dining experiences. But I love a silver lining and it certainly wasn't all bad - we were served immediately and our food came quickly (no doubt due to the fact the restaurant was quiet, perhaps 3 or 4 other tables occupied), the restaurant was clean, peaceful music was playing, and the service was admittedly fantastic - fast, friendly and efficient.

And I did love the elaborate wooden carving at one end of the restaurant, but otherwise I found the interior a little too contemporary and cold for my liking - although it seemed an unsuccessful attempt had been made to create warmth and ambience by stringing a few pieces of material along the ceiling.





I enjoyed the Thai Spring Roll entree ($8) - they were very crisp, fresh and the sweet chilli dipping sauce made up for any lack in flavour. But perhaps they should be called Mini Spring Rolls - the photo is a close up, they were actually about the size of my little finger.



Our mains were a mixed bag. My friend had the Cashew & Tofu ($19.90) and I the Satay Vegetables ($19.90). On the positive side they presented well, the servings were generous and there was an abundance of fresh, perfectly cooked vegetables. But in my humble opinion they were overpriced, and clearly a Westernised version - both meals were very sweet and lacked a depth of flavour.





Overall and in a nutshell - fantastic service but average, over-priced food. It saddens me when I'm disappointed by food experiences - but no doubt others have been there and absolutely loved it, it's a personal thing but I won't be returning to Thai Terrace any time soon.
