Enotecha (Wine Library)

We like the name of this Italian restaurant and go about trying to find it at the end of Soi 27, which is hardly more than a back alley way. I am with the Safety Minister and have no concerns.
The restaurant is lovely, but not warm and welcoming. This is different from most of our Thai dining experiences and strikes me as odd. We order one of their lowest priced wines but when the wine steward comes to open the bottle he tells us we have made an excellent choice.

The bells start ringing!

We immediately know this is not going to be the bottle we ordered. It takes us several minutes to convince him that we did not in fact order an excellent wine and that there must be a mistake. We have to get a menu and show him which we ordered and he sulked off to get the proper bottle. He sent someone else to open the not so excellent bottle for us. To give you an idea, the bottle of cheap wine we ordered was just over $36 USD. The bottle he wanted to open for us was almost $90 USD and no doubt excellent, but not within our price range.

Victor ordered an interesting Lasagna, cooked fresh instead of baked and warmed as is the usual lasagna service. He thought it delicious.

We finished our evening with a walk back to Soi 11 to wish our friends at the British Pub a nice week as we were off for the next couple of days to Chiang Mai.
