One of the highest open-air restaurants in the world, patrons can dine al fresco at the top of the building.

The menu revolves around grilled dishes and concentrates mostly on Mediterranean cuisine. The listing is not expansive, but it is diverse and innovative. Set menus are impressive, ranging in size from four courses at 2,500 baht through to a nine-course degustation menu, plus there is a spa tasting menu and a vegetarian tasting menu. The appetizer for two includes; caesar salad, turnip cake, seared raw tuna, scallop tartare, and shrimp and avacado with french dressing. There is pan-fried curried foie gras with ginger and caramelized mango (520 baht), and home-cured kingfish with aromatic herbs (480 baht). You can also order fresh Tasmanian oysters at 420 baht per half dozen, wonderful to guzzle if you are sitting at the Moon Bar with a glass of vodka. From the soups listing, look no further than the oyster foam scented with truffle baked in a pastry cover with crab meat (480 baht). The grill offers live Phuket lobster (2,050 baht), one of the stars of the main course listing, as is the blue-nosed parrot fish marinated with tamarind (1,250 baht). But the grilled beef is hard to resist. You can choose from grain fed Australian, certified US chilled Angus, and Prime US chilled beef. All are served with bone marrow, vegetables, sauteed mushrooms, and a choice of sauces (the warm truffle soy dressing is outstanding).

I enjoyed a 400 gram tenderloin cut of certified Angus (1,900 baht), with a side order of garlic mashed potato (210 baht), while my companion opted for loin of lamb rolled in a crusting of Japanese green tea (1,400 baht).
