About this space

The Carriage Side is home to our stylish cocktail bar, and private train-like carriage (or booths) available for intimate dinner celebrations.

If you do manage to snag one of these coveted spots, ring for service and order some food from Thai-inspired menu.

As you venture to the rear of the carriage, an open area creates a space ideal for early evening banquets of up to 16 people; or change out the tables for late-night cocktail parties of up to 40.
