I met some friends and went here last Friday night and we all loved it. The restaurant is set up nicely and it quite dark and romantic. Again, we had a nice welcome note of our table and the service was great.

The food was lovely, we decided not to have the paella based on the reviews I had read so we had all tapas. Hot Tip - try the zucchini flowers, they are expensive at $5.50 each but worth every cent as they are absolutely amazing! The meals are small but I didn't mind this too much as you get a bit of everything, they probably should note on the menu how many of everything you get for that price.

The only disappointment was the size of the dessert. We had the Churros which was Yum but way too small, even for one person. All in all it was a nice night. Suitable for couples as well as small groups. I wouldn't suggest going there in a big group as it may be difficult to share the small meals. We ate and drank all we could fit in and the bill was $260 for 5 of us, we were really happy and would happily return to Big Stone.

Went for dinner here last night and loved it. You might be thinking, do we really need another thai in the area but trust me it is so different and you won't regret giving it a try! It has only been open for 3 weeks but the food was beautiful and price is fantastic.

Wine list is limited but reasonable, ie I had a glass of Chandon for $9. This may sound expensive but at other venues, they would charge at least $11+ if they even offer Chandon.

We have the Panang Curry Puffs to start which were lovely and the Duck roll, also good. The people on the table next to us had the starter platter and it looks amazing and was very big. For mains we had the Green Curry, fried rice, tofu and green mango salad and a stir fry dish. All of it was great including the Tofu salad which was beautiful and fresh.

For dessert we have the Creme Brulee with Toffee Ice Cream which was divine. The other desserts looks great and I wished I had room to try all of them.

Staff were great! Some of the staff are the same as from Rakang (previous restaurant that was located there). We spoke to the staff and they said that the menu will be changing around the 10 Feb once they see how things go. Take away is available which is fab and discounted (20%) I believe if you pay cash!

All in all, we will definitely be back! It was a great night.
