| - I came here yesterday evening at about 5:30 and were the first and only in the restaurant. I waited at least 5 minutes to be acknowledged and seated, as the host was no where to be found. Not a great first impression for a first time customer.
We were seated and were promptly brought out water and menus. Since I always get the green curry, Thai hot, and my daughter always orders the chicken skewers, we put out order in before other people had even ordered. I requested that both dishes come out at the same time since she was eating an appetizer as an entrée. Her order was brought out 15 minutes later, and mine came out a good 10 minutes after that. Let me say that I was less than happy, since other tables that ordered well after I did were already being served.
The curry was good, but was not the best that I've had. Lacking eggplant if you ask me, but the amount of vegetables was great. They did Thai spice very well too, as it cleared my sinuses in no time flat. The portions are very large, definitely enough to share or bring home for another large meal the next day. The chicken skewers were decent, cold by the time my dish came out though, so my (very picky) daughter hardly touched them after that.
As for the staff, let's just say their personalities were literally the most bland I've ever experienced. Christ almighty, couldn't get a smile out of any of them...and I'm quite pleasant and fun! They all seemed like they hated their job, hated life, and at any moment one of them would pull a 12 gauge from the back and start picking off staff and customers before ending it all!
Not sure if I would come back here...the restaurant is beautiful, the food is pretty good, but aside from the great ambiance, it was lacking, to say the least. Plus, they play terrible indie electronica music, which, between you and I, makes me think I should be in a gay bar, rather than an upscale Thai restaurant.
Eat here or don't, but you can get better service, food, in almost as pretty of a restaurant that plays authentic Thai music over @ Siam Thai (50th and northern).
