| - I decided to edit this because I originally made the review back in October and things have changed. My husband is addicted to this restaurant. In fact, I was nice enough to order take out so he could get a mid week fix. We go every Saturday and Sunday. This of course gives them additional brownie points as we both never just order a dish and they have us memorized.
The decor is nice, classy, and clean. It doesn't look or feel cluttered or cheap inside. Apparently, it is BYOB. If you do wine pairings- be prepared. The food is so flavorful and complex. A simple merlot isn't going to cut it.
Now on to the food. First- they will adjust almost anything for you. If you're a wuss like, me- just tell them. Grew up sucking on ghost chillies? Tell them. They also have this great chili powder that tastes so good it is worth the heat (again, this is coming from a wuss. My husband thinks the heat is great).
Here is a list of the food and drinks we've had and liked. (Hubby's dishes have a * for spicy.)
Thai Iced Tea, Tropical Smoothie, Lychee Smoothie
Chicken Satay, Beef Satay, Beef Jerky, Thai Curry Puffs (special)
**Drunken Noodles, pad see ew, country pad thai**
Larb, Thai Beef Salad, Pineapple Fried Rice, Map String Beans, Yellow curry with chicken or beef
On to the service! Vicky and Pop are attentive but don't rush you. My water class never becomes empty and they have a good pace between appetizers being served and main courses. They happily describe dishes and I have never heard them complain about a special request. I once saw Vicky bend down and walk an older man through the menu because it was his first time.
Basically, I cannot sing enough praises for this restaurant. This is by far my favorite restaurant in Cleveland. (Oh, I think all the negative reviews are from people that don't realize that this is a restaurant and not a psychic parlor. If you want something done a certain way- ask. Don't assume that they will read your mind.)
