| - The most high end thai place in the city. The atmosphere is very nice with warm lighting and candles. The seating is spread out to welcome privacy. The bar is okay located near the entrance, but barely used. The outdoor seating is awesome and one of the few spots on S. Highland where you can sit outside and drink. The service is okay, but not especially useful. When asked what is the favorite of the waiter we got the customary "everythings good". I like that they remove your doggy bag and give you a coatcheck type ticket instead of leaving it on your table. The wine selection is okay, but overpriced like everywhere else. I need to find a place that has reasonably priced wine, I mean $15 for a glass of conundrum?? WTF! The food is as good as any thai I've ever tried in any city, and quite frankly should be for the prices. It's quite expensive for thai food. We started with chicken satay, which was pretty good, moist and flavorful. Also tried a ceviche, which was dynamite, very spicy and a "typhoon" roll which wasn't that good and didn't have much flavor. Susie got the salmon, which was well seasoned and served with delicious rice. Fiona had the pumpkin curry which was delicious, good spice and a nice portion with fresh vegetables. I tried the duck basil which was cooked perfectly and had a delicious basil sauce, that was spicy and packed with herbs. The coconut ice cream is delicious as well. Good place, but definitely not cheap. It was close to $300 with all courses, tip, and plenty of wine. You can probably get thai close to as good as this without the atmosphere and wine for less than $50.
