  I was there with my husband when we are on holiday at Bintan
  We ordered their lotus degustation on the menu that I believe was 6/7 courses but they served a few more appetisers before the start.
  Overall fantastic service with attentive servers except we do felt overall it has a lot more citrus component than anticipated in the whole meal
  We started with shots of tumeric ginger honey and lime.
  The rice and oat crackers with sauces are great. The satay and chicken wrap in the appetisers nice as well, the calamari was ok.
  Grilled duck breast salad is great, the amount of parsley in the might be intimidating but it taste great.
  Seabass soup is slightly too sour, might wanna try it before adding the squeeze of lime.
  The mains are served at the same time.The fried king prawn was good except the tamarind sauce is too overpowering for me. The beef green curru is great, I like the use of coconut flesh in this, the beef is ok, infact I initially mistook it for chicken breast.
  The rice that goes with the mains were served as table service, the concept is great but the rice was slightly disappointing, the taste was too subtle and some of the rice grains were dry and tough(like the ones that were scrap from bottom of rice cooker).
  Dessert was mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream.
  At this point, the amount of sticky rice became overwhelming. Both me and my husband felt soo full by the end of this.

  One of the best Thai restaurants! The ambiance is sophisticated yet a family-friendly place. This is one of the great memories of staying in Banyan Tree Bintan, to experience such a great dinner. Love how they presented the dishes and the serving of different kinds of rice as well. Portion wise is good for sharing for 2 pax.
  
  Only a little bit of hiccups with the food of my boy but were easily rectified and the manager along with the head chef did some service recovery which is a good touch. Thanks to the Saffron Team, we totally enjoyed our night. Kudos to your excellent service.

  Excellent service, polite and attentive despite being full house. Recommend to call or get your hotel to do a booking for you. Price is a tad on the high side but if you have Accor Plus, it works out very worth while as food is 50% off.
  
  Food is good and so is the view. BBQ chicken and saffron fried rice nicely done and portion is big. I would give a miss on the crab roll and TomYum ..

  Lovely view and scenery. Service was excellent. The spice and flavors have been toned down from authentic Thai food. The assortment of appetizers were pleasant. Pad Thai was very nicely done. Air-conditioning is far too cold, making the rice served hardened before it reaches our plates. Noodles will stick into a clump if not eaten fast enough. Lighting is too poor to enable visualization of the plating and appearance of dishes.
