AI Summary

Peninsula Thai stalwart with lighthouse views, praised for curries and ginger fish that keep Melbourne day-trippers coming back.

Modern interior with traditional Thai touches, well-spaced tables suited to conversation, and a setting near the McCrae Lighthouse that gives it a coastal holiday feel. Warm and inviting rather than formal.

Views toward McCrae Lighthouse; accommodates large group pre-orders (anniversary events documented); BYO with $24 corkage per bottle; takeaway-friendly staff; some South-East Asian fusion dishes alongside core Thai menu.

Multiple reviewers with Thai and South-East Asian dining experience rate it highly authentic. A reviewer who visited Thailand said it captured the feeling. One long-standing reviewer notes the quality has been consistent for years under Lam (the owner).

Budget price tier with generous serving sizes noted by multiple reviewers. Mains around standard Thai restaurant pricing; BYO corkage at $24/bottle is steep. factor in if bringing wine.
