Gaybutton Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Wow, what a choice to have to make! As many of you know, one of my favorite restaurants is Cherry's. Recently, Cherry's moved to their new location around the corner from their previous location. We've tried it a few times already and it is just as marvelous as it was in their former location. Now, Khun Wi, the former manager of Cherry's has opened his own restaurant. Where? The former location of Cherry's on Third Road, across from the X-Zyte Disco. Geezer and I tried it last night and it was fabulous! The food is superb and the service is excellent. Khun Wi is a marvelous host and he makes sure you are well pleased. I spoke to Khun Wi and asked why he never said anything to us about opening his own restaurant. He said part of the agreement he had made with Cherry's was not to say anything about it until Cherry's completed their move and opened. He said it took him a week or so to be ready to open, and he did a soft opening. His kitchen staff is the old Cherry's staff. They stayed with Khun Wi rather than move to the new Cherry's location. The menu at Wi's Restaurant (that's the name of the restaurant) is virtually identical to the old Cherry's menu. That's good! I'm a firm believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and nothing about this restaurant or its menu needed fixing. The price for the nightly set menu has been raised by 70 baht to 495 baht, but it now includes a glass of your choice of a red or white wine. We tried the red wine and it was very good. When you read the flier, notice that Wi's Restaurant is offering a 10% discount until October 1. We received the discount last night. Meanwhile, just around the corner is Cherry's, also wonderful. It's going to be difficult to choose which restaurant to go to. We've pretty much decided that we'll probably alternate. Last night we at at Wi's Restaurant. Next time will be Cherry's. Then Wi's. Then Cherry's, and so on. What a choice! Two fabulous restaurants, both within about 150 feet of each other! The photos were taken at Cherry's, the new location. The flier is Wi's Restaurant. Quote
