| - We had a groupon, and this was our first visit. There were four of us on a Sunday night. We were the only customers in the restaurant. There was one waitress and she seemed very nice, though she had really odd timing. We waited about 15 minutes to order, then another 15-20 minutes before our appetizer arrived. We had shrimp in a blanket, which were tasty. We had to ask for plates. And actually, our entire meal, which included a soup, was eaten on the same small plates. We needed to ask for bowls for the soup. It was odd. Our main courses were salmon in red curry, pumpkin curry with chicken, steamed mussels, and pad thai, all at a heat level of 3 (based on a scale of 5). The heat was pretty true to the scale. The mussels, salmon curry and pumpkin curry were great. The pad thai was forgettable. For dessert we had fried bananas which were really forgettable.
I'll say this: for the most part, the food was really good! But the service was just terrible. One waitress, one table of customers, one would think it would be okay, but she was mostly absent. At one point she brought out one of our dishes and was on her cell phone. Instead of ending her call, she motioned for one of us to help her with the dish because she couldn't handle it with one hand. We all just looked at her with confusion and she really seemed oblivious.
We wondered if perhaps the service was so bad because it was a Sunday night, and maybe they just don't get a lot business. So we may try to go back on a Friday night, or perhaps on a weekday for lunch. The main course items really were very good, so for that reason we'd like to try again. If they can stay open.
