Song Hoai, The Saigon Times Club

Frommer's Review

Set in the most picturesque period building in town, on a corner overlooking riverside Bach Dang, this Saigon-managed restaurant is as much about atmosphere as it is about dining. Rivaled only by Brother's, the two open floors here reflect true old Hoi An elegance. The second floor has great views of the river and is dramatic, with a high, exposed tile ceiling and languid ceiling fans. I had the Vietnamese-style ravioli, the local white rose specialty, and enjoyed fresh pan-fried shrimp. They serve regional dishes like Hanoi cha ca and mi quang wide noodles. Presentation is arguably the classiest in town, with fine china, stemware, and lacquered dishes on linen, and the service is professional if a bit hovering. A good choice for a romantic evening of fine dining, Hoi An-style.
