I found a newish place down the far end of Rimkong Road (the river road), about 200m before Wat That, called the New York Bistro. A small bistro style restaurant, run by a New Yorker, which has a limited/modest menu of Mediterranean/International food, served to the accompaniment of background jazz music, and with views across the river.

Sounds very tempting, perhaps I should give them a run for their money tonight, I will report back after dinner later tonight.

Just to clarify if any members have difficulty finding this place, - it's 200m from Wat That (the white temple at the end of the Rimkong River Road).
