Pla Pla

The restaurant is located at the bottom of the resort at the beach level. The best part of the whole experience was waiting in the top reception lobby with a breathtaking view (see image). The service is exceptional as is the standard in the Four Seasons resort and as expected is also kept in the restaurant. The staff was attentive and polite with meticulous setting of the table and serving us. The presentation of the food and table setup were professional and elegant. Sadly, the food itself was very disappointing and below our expectations. The bread and spreas we got as the restaurant's starter were ok, the breas felt not so fresh and stale / chewy. We got a Wagyu salad starter which was nice and by far the best dish we had. For mains we got the green curry with chicken and a club sandwich. The curry was ok, nothing bad but we had much better curries in any of the modest family ran restaurants on the island that we visited. The club sandwich was below our expectations for such a simple dish, it is not the local cuisine but you expect at least proper execution and fresh high quality ingredients especially when paying these prices. The bread felt cheap and rather dry, there was barely any sauce in the sandwich itself it was very dry. The french fries that were served with it felt stale and at best industrial from a bag. It is not crazy expensive luxury dining but still given the reputation of the Four Seasons and very attractive low prices of food almost everywhere, it is hard to feel that it is not overpriced and under delivering for it's cost.

Food: Simple but well done. The burrata and the Dutch cocoa dessert especially stood out. Overall, better than flagship restaurants at the Four Seasons Whistler and Papagayo, which is already a high bar. Service: Friendly and very attentive. The manager came out and checked in on us multiple times, and indulged our questions about the White Lotus shoot. Atmosphere: Beautiful views, but since it is outdoors, there are a lot of bugs around sunset. The wonderful staff noticed me swatting them away and brought out some bug spray which really helped. They assured us the bugs would be gone shortly after sunset, and indeed they were gone.

Pla Pla is located in the four season which is beautiful and has the most stunning views and vibes. After a golf cart drive down you enter the restaurant and greeted with great service. The menu had a solid balance of options i got the hummus and the pesto pasta which was great. The spaghetti ragu my cousin got wasn’t as good but besides that everything else was amazing. The shrimp starter was fresh and tasty with the sauce. Overall was a great vibe and you can see the private beach the ocean and the pool area on the other side. Definitely worth a trip for a fancy dinner or a cute lunch for a date as well. the pricing wasn’t as bad as it could have been, which i was surprised about. roughly 1000baht a head minimum with starter and main.
