| - Average Experience at Upscale Price
The Wait
We went there for Dinner on a Friday night around 9 PM with no prior reservation. The place was packed, but they told us that there was a couple leaving and they would have a table ready for us in 15 mins. Despite the couple leaving about 10 mins after that, none of the wait staff cared to clean the tables, until we went inside and reminded them about it twice. During this period, someone that was smoking a cigarette outside (seemed like the owner) was going back in, and asked us if we were waiting for a table. He went inside, and started cleaning the table himself, and set-up the new table. We were finally seated after 30 mins. There was also a lingering smell of cigarette smoke around our table.
The Place
It is a small place with space for about 35-40 people max. The décor is semi-modern, but the place seems a bit cramped up. There is a small make-shift bar, where they would mix drinks if someone ordered a cocktail.
The Food
We ordered Fried Tofu for appetizer, Green curry with vegetables & Vegetable Fried Rice. Fried tofu was very bland (pretty standard). The green curry and fried rice were tasty, but only average at the best. The service was terribly slow, and everyone around food took a while to come, not just for us, but for almost everyone there.
The Check
We had a glass of wine, a beer, one small appetizer, one curry, and fried rice. The total check was around $85 + gratuity, which is pretty expensive for an average Thai Restaurant
Since we are not from the area, it is highly unlikely that we would ever return to this place.
Beware - If you are trying to go for a night out after dinner, and are the kind that is bothered by the smell of your clothes after dinner, this is not the place for you. Your clothes are definitely going to smell like food after a visit to this place.
