    Adequate Thai food. Nothing special about ambiance or cooking.

    I had high expectation of this place given that this is smack center in the Dupomt circle area. The interior was charming but that’s about it. We were a party of 6 on a Friday Night. There was only one server for the whole Place. There must have been atleast 40 patrons including us and she was doing the best she can. I am not sure who ones the place but they definitely need tk wake up and smell the roses. We waited about 40 min for our food. The starters were average we orders the trainers platter. I orders the kimchi beef which was on the chefs special and it was utterly tasteless. We Also ordered the crispy duck which was good. The chicken satay was sub par. The place needs new Management and definiltely more servers and a better cook. Overall very forgettable and experience.

    The food at Thaiverse is original and "Thai hot", exactly what we were looking for. The menu has a great selection of Thai dishes, the taste of everything we had was excellent. We had a great time - and came back the next day. I also was very pleased to see that the few wines offered were very good choices at reasonable prices. The restaurant has a very charming ambiance and the services was nice and welcoming.

    Last night the service at Thai Verse was abysmal. It was not particularly busy; were two servers for 5 tables. After a moderately long delay before ordering, we asked for a drinks menu that never came. Halfway through the meal (the food was excellent, by the way) we tried again to order drinks, asking whether we could have them before the end of the meal. The check arrived (and the drinks never did, with nary an apology). The server who cleared the plates from the next table knocked a drink can to the floor, said something like "oops", and left the two diners next to us to pick it up themselves. The three times I've eaten at Thai Verse, the food has been simply extraordinary -- fabulously fresh ingredients, with that sort of high-resolution spicing that's just magical in that you can taste each of the ingredients in just the right combination. Until last night, I've wondered why there isn't a line out the door. I hope that this feedback reaches the management, as it would be a shame for this restaurant to go under for lack of attention to service.

    I made a reservation for a Monday night. Only to get there to find the restaurant closed on Mondays! Most inconvenient.

    Hi very sorry for the mix up, I had thought I had updated Opentable to prevent Monday evening bookings and that there were non on the system when I made the change, but must have missed yours (and one for the following week too). Very sorry for my mistake and hope you will try us again and let us make up for the inconvenience.

    We were there for lunch on Sat of the holiday weekend. No one else in sight but the server and the people walking along CT Ave. We had a window table. It was lovely. The space is beautiful and the decor relaxing. No noise. Our server was delightful as was the food and drink. Going back there next week for dinner - recommending the place to all my neighbors who may not know it’s there because it’s up a flight of stairs.

    We are regulars at Thaiverse in Middleburg. The food was different at the DC location and I wasn’t as much of a fan. The prices were higher as well. The ambiance and service was excellent

    We had a reservation but no table was prepared and we were sat in the bar with a kitchen door they kept open. No one really seemed to be waiting on us... When food came they just popped it anywhere on our table. No one asked how the food was or checked on us. We had to hit someone down for the check. Very disappointing.
