    Overall it’s a very reliable place to dine. Food is always good. Portions can be skimpy depending on what you order. The salad is not enough to split. Excellent service. Ask for a table that is not in the middle of the crowded tables. We think it’s a mistake not to offer complimentary bread when sitting down and waiting for your meal. To charge $9 - $11 for bread turned us off. If the restaurant is afraid of their guest wasting bread, have the waiter or server ASK if they want bread and here are your options. No question, we would definitely go back. When reserving through OPEN TABLE, we indicated that we were celebrating an Anniversary. Nothing was said or offered acknowledging the Anniversary.

    Everything was so delicious. The octopus appetizer was so intricate and it was fun to taste and combine every element on the plate. The oysters were very good. I ordered the scallops and that was our favorite. My husband’s short ribs and filet were also amazing. The raspberry creme brulww? I can’t stop thinking about it. Gorgeous and it was so so good. Service was excellent, this will be our go-to date spot when we don’t feel like something new.

    The atmosphere is fine, not too packed or noisy just basic. But the food is some of the best Thai I’ve ever had, consistently delicious, good portions and reasonably priced.
