The food is excellent. Keep in mind that Thai spice is very hot compared to what I'm used to. The mild spice is very spicy (i love spicy food). I would go for the mild so you can enjoy the food.

We arrived for a reservation at 5:45pm and let our server, Steph, know that we had theater tickets and she made sure we were served, not rushed, and out in time to catch our Uber to the theater. The food was delicious and Steph was so nice which made the experience that much better!
