The Seafood Bar is Billy Marinelli’s second restaurant venture in Bangkok, conveniently situated adjacent to the lobby in the Somerset Lake Place on Sukhumvit, Soi 16. His first restaurant The Oyster Bar has an obscure location on Soi 24 off Narathiwa and he is continuing the same theme at the new restaurant, and why not, as it has been very well accepted by the population at large. These days, it seems that Bangkok’s “glitterati” are as willing to down oysters and crustaceans from the Northwest coast of North America, as they were in the past to consume fat-streaked steaks accompanied by high-alcohol red wines from Australia or Italy.
This space, possibly due to its larger size, loses some elements of the original, which is not necessarily a bad thing, as it will in time develop its own rhythm, and this location is more central, the situation more desirable, and grander in most aspects than the previous one. A quick fix may be, more of Billy being around (he has been traveling for business) and a few more bodies crowded around the seafood bar to dress the room, although granted, I have not seen the turnout on the weekend, where that may very well be the case.

I was an oyster virgin, but when I saw their collections in the oyster bar, makes me wanna taste one of those.
I have tried the Kumamoto, one of the best selling oysters they have, it was a wonderful experience for my colleague and I.
They have also Maine live lobster, which is u can have it grilled, steamed or drawn butter. it was so delicious and I never had it before in my life.
I like the way the server welcome the guests with a “wai” and a smile.
Last two months ago we had an amazing experience here in the seafoodbar.My family and friends came for holiday here in bangkok and we really looking for a seafood restaurant then we checked the website and we found the seafoodbar.
We start to have a dozens of oysters and all oysters are great with different quality and taste that all of us get “amazed” that we never imagine that those kind of oysters exist. The kids got their choice of pasta with tomato sauce and cream sauce and they really enjoy it. They got fish dish,maine lobster and dungeness crab it was really amazing experience for each of us.
Thank you for all the staff for being nice and polite and doing good service to us. Keep up the good work and keep amazing all those who loves seafood…..
