Face is a favorite of mine (I haven't been to Kinnaree yet). You can look at the menu at www.facebars.com As you can see, there is an Indian restaurant there which is good, not great IMO, though a recent reviewer thought it was the best Indian food they'd ever had. I prefer their Thai restaurant. Also, there is a spa, which is one of my favorites in Bangkok. You can look at the spa menu as well. The website shows a map, it is an easy walk from the Skytrain.

To add to the great recommendations so far the "Sala Rim Naam" at the Oriental is good for a special occasion and it's on the river. I think the price will be higher than $50/person but you'll have classical Thai dancing as well.
For the best Italian - at the moment Angelleni is very popular but I also like Zenotti. IMO you can't go wrong with either one.

On one of our first trips to BKK, back in 2001, during the holidays, we went to a place called Vientienne Kitchen (sp). I don't know if it is still there. It was in a "hut" and there was Thai entertainment. Just a thought. I have no idea about the location of the place. We enjoyed it.

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed Lemongrass!
I can think of some other places like Mahanaga... gorgeous decor, food is highly variable. China House - some love it some hate it since the remodel... oops - that's Chinese.

Long Table, Suk soi 16? Have you been there yet?
Tawandang is always special! It's by taxi only. Not close to ANY BTS station what so ever. Food is excellent, as is the live entertainment on stage (as well as the crowds of Thais dancing in the aisles as the evening wears on).
I'm studying 16 travel journals (thank goodness I organize "meals" in separate listings that are easy to find!
What about Guisco (Italian) on soi 23. It was excellent! Also, I keep seeing listings of The Bed. Guess we ate there a lot in past years. Have not been now for two years??
The Italian restaurant on the mezzanine level about the main lobby at Bumrungrad is excellent! I'd forgotten about that one. Have not been there since Feb 05. SACZ at the Majestic Grande (lobby) on soi 2 is very nice also, for Italian.
(another common meal in my journals is chili at Maeng's!!!... but she doesn't make chili the way she did when it was at the Brunswick on soi 4, so her current chili recipe is only so-so... I don't recommend it)
Bob and Karen always like Biscotti at the Four Seasons. We ate there once.
Gotta run. I'll try to get back to this thread later on tonight.
