Wow. Have dined at Mr Jones many times in the last 7 plus years. This time it was a special birthday gathering upstairs with my raucous friends. The food by Damien was super innovative Thai and the service by Ross exemplary. All dishes were delicious but the crab meat curry with rolled rice noodles was a stand out. Banquet $115 pp with drinks extra.
Uncountable visits to Mr.Jones such a lovely place. We've had an absolutely fabulous time and I also admire Chef Damien because he has a true knowledge of real authentic Thai cuisine (not a Mickey Mouse Thai if you know what I mean 😂) with limited resources and pretty looking presentation. Some of Thai dishes that he made were better than some of Thai fine dining restaurants in Thailand. The food was phenomenal, and the hospitality was top-notch. Cherished every moment, every laugh. Ps. They have the best Thai cupcakes (kanom krok) I ever had.
I had the absolute pleasure of being booked in to dine here by Hotel Vera on a recent stay. I was met with the warmest of greetings by Jamie who continued his incredible hospitality all evening. The set menu was perfection with each course holding up to be as stunning as the last. This was the best Thai food I have ever eaten, the flavours were just so impressive and the highest quality of ingredients - my mouth is watering just revisiting this menu. The oysters and wine they were matched with was outstanding. Where has mandarin sorbet been all my life? A special note to the wine list - it is as impressive as the food.
We enjoyed Mr Jones. The food is good sometimes very good but not as good perhaps as some of the reviews would have us believe. I really enjoyed some of the dishes. The house made mung bean noodles were my favourite. Loved the presentation, flavour and texture. I also thought the optional charcoal grilled duck was delicious as was the red curry of pork belly and scallops. Numbers of the other dishes were OK but without hitting it out of the park including the optional oysters and the mussels. The service was a bit muted and rushed at the start but it improved markedly during the night when the server sommelier realised that we loved our wines. He made some outstanding recommendations with only one fail. We had a good night here but not a great night. This is a very nice restaurant but overall the feeling from the table was that the experience didn’t quite equal the price point
Every dish that we had was magnificent! I am in love with the Cerviche 🤤 Now I know why this place is highly recommended. Our Christmas party was hosted here for a private event. The space was small but enough to fit our 50 people team. The staff were excellent and food was served promptly. Conveniently located in town centre.
