Honestly I didn't really know what to expect; is it an art gallery? Art studio for students and professionals? Restaurant? Lounge/bar? It was just hard to get the vibe from the few photos I saw online. Ultimately I think it is a relaxed mix of all of the above. We chose to go Thursday night. When we arrived, a small crowd was in to their 3rd movie of the evening (the first was a doc on the Khmer Rogue around 4pm I think, the second was a short film about Aborigines, and the one playing when we arrived was about music artist Nina Simone). No extra charge for any of this these days, as I understand it. The place has a great outdoor patio area where the movies are projected (and comfy-looking seating so you can hang out). Downstairs is the actual gallery--open during day hours or special events I think--and the upstairs (connected to the outdoor patio) is an indoor restaurant/bar/DJ area. Small but enjoyable. As far as food the flame cake menu (flatbread style dish with toppings) and the schnitzel were both great. Half way through our meal at about 9:15pm the previously scheduled trance/techno DJ started up. Don't let this run you off if you're not in to it as they switch up their events regularly; even still, the music wasn't deafening by any means and we were able to enjoy our meal and hold a conversation without added effort. It is worth noting that the two of us are in to many genres of music so for us it was nice; adjust your own dinner music expectations accordingly. But honestly, when was the last time you got to eat great Vienna schnitzel while listening to techno in Cambodia? Check their site for music and movie details and pick a day that best suits you! 4/5 only because the indoor smoking in the small, indoor restaurant area. I don't generally mind smoking of any kind in public areas but when good food is being served up I think the smells from the kitchen (and your plate) deserve your full, undivided attention.
The guy who runs this place is rude and lacks basic manners. He treated his staff appallingly in front of customers and was unnecessarily rude to me and my friend. This is such a shame because Meta House has fantastic events but with this guy running the place, it totally puts me off returning.
