A new restaurant on 62/147 Moo 12, Thepprasit Soi 8, Pattaya.   This is what they said on their website:  

From across the world to across the street, blue Olive Modern Mediterranean restaurant brings you a sincere commitment to service; the finest quality meats, seafood, and produce; and tantalizing wines and cocktails.
Offering flavors of Canada, Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Greece and Thailand, we invite you to come and enjoy small plates for one, dinner for two, or a banquet for your group.

We went there last week, location a bit out of the way, but the decor and the space is quite nice.   We were a bit disappointed with our foods (all 5 five of us) which took overly long to be delivered to our table, but maybe it was an off night as it was only his 1st week open.  

Only open for dinner and reservation can be done online - would love to hear your comments please.  

OP: can I post their website here?

Mate of mine went there and said it was rubbish.

Haven't been but there is a certain "web buzz" happening about the place.

Jimgthing, you are late with this one. Your loyal gourmet subjects sit awaiting your review

OP, you can get into trouble for trying out a restaurant before Jingthing.

Last warning

I love the place. Try the Canadian steak, delicious. I have eaten there three times already and not had a bad meal yet .

We went in a party of 4 and were not impressed with the food - the ribs were about the worst I have tasted

Okay, then it wasn't just me - I had the ribs as well and mine was probably the worse I have ever had as well.   My friend ordered the haddock with pasta and it was un-eatable - he took three bites and couldn't eat no more.   Our other friends had the salmon and they did eat it, but were not impressed.  

Again I like the place and it has potential, but he better get a chef on board fast!!!

I went there last night with two friends,  We all ordered the same thing: burgers.  We all thought they were quite good and will certainly be going back.  The owner was quite accommodating and the staff very efficient.  Unfortunately I can't speak for any of the other meals but it sounds like the food maybe uneven.

The video on the website highly recommends the squid with mango chili aioli. Sounds good!

Didn't the dish's name give him good warning?

Haddock is a very good fish (it's what I always order as fish and chips in the UK) but God never intended it to be served with pasta.

Is there any food on the entire planet more boring than burgers? Answers, on a postcard, to ....

I would have to be close to death by starvation to order a burger anywhere. Even a doner kebab would be preferable, and that's saying something.

richsilver you have made my day. I never thought I would see Darrel as a food snob....but you have managed it with ease!
