Last night we dined at Nittaya's. The food was good but I did not leave "in love" as usual. We started off with our usual-"THE" Spinach Salad. The Spinach was light & crispy but the dressing seemed different-I can not exactly identify what was different. I usually can not stop eating it but after 3 bites I was satisfied. We also ordered the Fried avocado appetizer which was very tasty-the avocado was smooth and buttery and rich.
I ordered the Beef Pad Z U (their spelling). It just did not taste "right" to me (not bad, not horrible though). My husband tasted it-thought the meat was chewy but declared it "ok". We took it home. He ordered the Duck Curry which he declared "pretty good". One friend ordered the Salmon Curry which she liked. Our other friend ordered the ribs which he loved.
One con about this otherwise delightful place is the seating. I am not a tiny person and have no one to blame but myself. That said, the tables are so tightly placed as is the bar "area". People generally will scootch their seat back and the people at the bar scootch their seat back. Our party was already seated in the back and all avenues to get to our table were blocked with patrons having their seats back just a little BUT since the tables are so close together it was almost virtually impossible to get to our seat. I noticed all of the very slender servers and staff having to turn sideways and such to get back and forth between the tables. (So of course my sizable ass was not getting through without a chair or something being moved). After dinner we felt almost trapped at our table and did not feel comfortable trying to leave until the table behind us cleared.
The service was wonderful as usual.
