The short answer
Dining on the Rocks: what visitors should know first
Go for a celebration dinner and book ahead. It is a resort restaurant with fusion cooking, and I could not verify the menu, access or vegetarian options, so confirm all three before booking.

Why it matters
Why Dining on the Rocks is worth your time
Most readers will not stay at a luxury resort, and this entry is here because several lists name it. It suits an anniversary or a family occasion more than a regular dinner, and it gives you a different side of Samui from the Chaweng and Bophut strips: a quiet bay on the north-east coast.
The evidence is limited to three lists. I could not open the resort's own page, so the menu, hours and price are unconfirmed. If budget matters, compare it with the more modest options elsewhere in this guide before booking, and remember that a resort restaurant often adds service charges.

How to experience it
Samujana's lists describe Dining on the Rocks as new Asian or fusion cooking at Six Senses Samui, and Elite Havens describes it as regional and international fusion overlooking Samrong Bay. One list places it at the north-east tip of the island. That is the extent of what the pages I opened say, so there is no verified signature dish.
Because it sits in a resort, plan the transport first. Samrong Bay is away from the main beach strips of Chaweng and Lamai, so ask the resort or your hotel about a taxi back at the end of the evening, and about whether non-guests can book.
Vegetarians should phone or email before booking and ask for a sample menu. Fusion cooking can mix fish sauce and shrimp paste into dishes that seem vegetarian, so ask each dish by name rather than rely on the menu labels.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Reserve a table and confirm non-guest access
