| - Why had I never been here before? I had dinner here after a serious WEEK of craving some good Thai food. The Elephant did not disappoint, I really enjoyed my visit.
The interior of the restaurant is tasteful, well-maintained and spacious. The layout sort of wraps around a semi-circle, with the bar keenly separated in the back, attached to a cozy patio. I'm the type of person that always notices the music playing in a store or restaurant. The music choice in here was pretty interesting; a good deal of '90s hip hop, including the famous Cops' theme song, Inner Circle's "Bad Boys." Lots of volume and bass going on as well, it was really unexpected, but kind of awesome.
I usually try out a new restaurant by ordering something basic. I got the Pad Thai at the "Hot" level. They didn't go easy, their "Hot" level was nice and spicy. The food was delicious. Fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. None of it was soggy or too salty. My partner in crime ordered the Spicy Eggplant, which also featured fresh, well-prepared ingredients. Eggplant is sort of hit or miss with me, but this was cooked to perfection.
The menu is extensive and has lots of interesting options. Including a dish called "Crazy Beef Salad." I will absolutely be back to Thai Elephant very soon.
