Sorry for the small photos, above. Set the wrong "export" settings on my computer. Anyway, you get the idea.

Some comments on the F&B outlets.

URBAN Cafe
On the Ground Floor. This is supposed to be a Thai-style restaurant for lunch and dinner. I didn't try it. I only visited this restaurant for breakfast. It is a good-quality buffet, but not as many choices as some other hotels' expansive buffets. For me, I prefer quality over quantity, as I am a small breakfast eater. The bottled juices looked disgusting. I have not seen orange juice before which had the orange pulp settling on the bottom (about half the bottle) and water on top (the other half of the bottle). Seriously...looked like oil sitting on water, and not mixing. A green veggie juice looked similar, as did another variety. I didn't take any.

Had breakfast at 9:00am today, but the restaurant was not full. When I passed by around noon time and also at dinner time, I only saw 2-3 tables occupied during each time.

URBAN Lounge
On the Ground Floor. In the day time, whenever I passed this Lounge, it only had two or three guests sitting at the sofas chatting. At night time, and with live entertainment, the Lounge was almost full. Seems like a good atmosphere. I didn't sit here. I just passed by and overheard the music.

Beans & Grapes
On the 2M floor, at the same level of the footbridge linking The Sukhothai to the Taikoo Hui mall. B&G is a casual dining experience...coffees, teas, juices, sandwiches, soups, salads, and pastries. Have about 8-10 small round tables with two seats each, and a long ten-seater table by the window. We took the long table for half the day today for a casual business meeting. Just kept refuelling with food and drinks from the counter. Most of us commented that the coffees are not good here; my cappuccino tasted like hot milk, with no coffee whatsoever. A second round was also the same.

La Scala
On the ground floor. This is the Italian restaurant. Booked a dinner gathering here for 6:00pm, and had to push back to 7:30pm due to guests delayed arriving. Only four tables (including our table of 6) when we were dining. The food is good. I had the roasted tenderloin, and it was delicious; the meat was juicy and tender. The a-la-carte menu is on The Sukhothai's website, so you can peruse accordingly. Prices are reasonable for a meal of this calibre, and in a five-star hotel.
