     The food was good, not out of this world, but good. However, the noise level was very loud. And although we were now anywhere near our hour and a half time limit, (we did arrive 10 minutes late, but we called ahead and said we will be late and even then we were not near our hour and a half ). the service was incredibly rushed. We could barely get a bite in or set a fork down and someone would come and ask if we could take our plates. Including when we weren’t done. Same with wrapping our meal. Same with dessert. Maybe it was because we didn’t order booze so our check wasn’t gonna be high enough. But it was very annoying Multiple different servers did the same thing. Plus hostess. Wouldn’t go back.

    The food was fresh well seasoned and was quite good with a fairly large variety of items to select from. I would prefer that they not limit your time to 90 minutes. I think two hours is reasonable for a dining experience. Service was very good and friendly.

    Convenient location, imaginative and delicious Southern Thai preparations, with an emphasis on seafood and hot, spicy dishes. Beautiful bar, pleasant seating area, but because the restaurant is so popular, the service is almost too quick for a comfortable meal for two (strict 1.5 hours), even when theatre-going. It may be more relaxed after 7 or 8 pm.

    What a fantastic culinary experience. The food was amazing and so was the wait staff. While it was busy it wasn’t overly crowded. Thank you for making it a memorable experience!
