| - This place is so flipping awesome. In December, Ruben and I took our friends visiting from England based on a recommendation. I called for a table and all they had were four seats at the bar, which was more comfortable than we expected. It was a rounded corner, so it still allowed us to be facing each other and it was still intimate. We enjoyed everything we tried and the service was wonderful. Great atmosphere!
We tried the Lettuce Wraps, Fried Avocado, Curry Puffs, Esaan Sausage, World Famous Spinach Salad, Five Spice BBQ Ribs with Citrus-Ginger Glaze, Emerald Fried Rice, Calamari, Housemade Coconut Ice Cream, and Thai Donuts. My favorites were the EMERALD FRIED RICE (I mean, phenomenal), SPINACH SALAD (they'll warn you that it's not really a salad, but it really doesn't matter because the flavor of the lime dressing and the tempura spinach is amazing), ESAAN SAUSAGE (the flavors that they manage to pack in here is so great, you'll be wanting more than the three served), and CALAMARI (wonderful batter and delicious dipping sauce).
All of us truly enjoyed our meal and had so much fun with all the dishes. Because it's such a small space, definitely plan ahead and come with a large group to take advantage of trying a little of everything! They're very accommodating and I'm so happy we were able to dine with them. I can't wait to go back!
Edit (03/01/13): Ruben and I went back for a date night and made a reservation earlier in the day. We had a rocky start; they were really busy and since we were in the back, we felt ignored. No one even acknowledged us when we walked in the door, actually. It took a while and when I said we had a reservation, they just pointed to the table in the back. Once our order was taken, it was smooth sailing (well, it also started to die down from when we first arrived) and everyone was attentive throughout our meal. It's a hard restaurant to be in if you're claustrophobic because you're in extremely close quarters to EVERYONE seated around you. I didn't enjoy being sandwiched between two other parties and unfortunately, hearing their entire conversation. So although it's an intimate space, it's definitely not for an intimate evening. I will probably request the corner bar seating next time since we had a much nicer experience there.
The food was phenomenal again and that definitely solidified my love of Nittaya's. We ordered the same four dishes that stood out last time and it was just as good as I remember. We also ordered the Coconut Soup and Spicy Basil Eggplant as well. Both were delicious, but neither favorites of mine. Since they were out of their bread pudding (I really want to try this!), we opted for the Creme Brûlée trio of Green Tea, Coconut, and Ginger Lemongrass. YUM! We're not big fans of creme brûlée, but these weren't overly sweet and the unique flavors were fun. Oh, and their Sangria is great! I'll need to go back to redeem my free glass!
