About The Crystal Grill House
The Crystal Grill House is a grill restaurant on the Chao Phraya riverbank at Asiatique The Riverfront, run with the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park team. The room plays on an old port-city theme from around the 1900s, with a bar counter, an open kitchen and five glass pavilions styled after trading ports such as Edo Japan, Shanghai, India, Persia and a Gatsby-style New York. A river-facing terrace looks out over the water.
The kitchen cooks Australian and US beef plus local and imported seafood on a charcoal and wood-fired Josper grill. Reviewers mention king crab linguine, kataifi-wrapped tiger prawns, Tasmanian salmon, wagyu rib eye and oysters, with themed cocktails named after port cities. Wongnai lists it at over 1,000 baht per person, and the private glass pavilions carry minimum spends of about 8,000 to 15,000 baht.
Wongnai reviewers call it a good fit for couples and special occasions, and Tripadvisor diners mention date nights and jazz music in the background. Book a terrace or pavilion table around sunset so you catch the river light, then walk around Asiatique afterwards. The kitchen takes last food orders at 10:30 pm.
