Beautiful place, good service, chefs know what they are doing. Unfortunately for us the Isan chocolate beef dry age wasn't available tonight but only fresh, the taste was good but I will try again when the dry age come back should be more interesting! Tasty squid very tender. The dry age duck was banging definitely on my top 10 of the dishes I had in Thailand ! Well done guys, keep rocking, learning and enjoying your job and you'll be the best place in town.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second time staying at Ad Lib Hotel in Khon Kaen, and this place is an absolute must-stop. The restaurant is pure Steak heaven …..fire no surprise it’s been mentioned in a Michelin Magazine article. My wife and I both had the ribeye, and it was perfectly cooked, honestly one of the best steaks we’ve had in Thailand. Huge shout-out to Bill and Gift, they were stellar. Easily some of the best service we’ve ever received. Professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ all the way. If you’re in Khon Kaen, you must stop here. Hands down the best steakhouse in Isan.
