| - The other day I went with my girlfriend to try this new Thai place in Little Italy. When we entered in the server came to us right away and nicely let us choose a table to seat in as the resto was almost empty at that time. He gave us the menus right away and explained to us the concept of the food and that it was tapas style, also pointed us the favorite costumer dishes, the special of the day and he said to give us a couple of minutes to take a look to the menu and that we could tell him if we would have any questions Everything was going perfect, really chill and relax.Until the chef came over and started stressing us out with questions and suggestions we didn't ask for...she was insisting too much on us getting some specific items from the menu which we just didn't feel like having, after rejecting her suggestion, she kept insisting even more just with the reason "it is so good". Honestly, we felt so harass by her the whole time. When you go out to eat, you want to think about what you are gonna eat first, also there is some food you dislike or you just don't feel like eating it that day. I'm sure the chicken was good, but we just didn't want chicken. If you have a menu, you have let the people choose to eat whatever they want to eat from it. We had the impression she didn't wanted to get to cook any complicated dishes and she wanted to cook the only the easy ones... We almost ended up having a order written that we didn't want at all because her persistence, but thanks God we got out of the embarrassing situation and have a couple of minutes for ourselves, when were ready to order, the server noticed it and came right away to our table being a good listener and taking our order right away, the rest of the service during the dinner was impeccable, he took care that everything was ok, kept serving us water without us asking him and removing dirty dishes to let us space on the table. We also loved the music he was playing creating a really cool ambience. The place it's really cool too, specially the collage on the wall and the cute plastic stool.
And the food was great! Really tasty and fresh and really different from other Thai restaurant in the city. Maybe a bit pricey for the the size of the plates, even the plates are meant to share, portions should be bigger.
We would definitely come back but if the chef stay in the kitchen and let the servers do their job properly. During the dinner we saw how she kept doing the same to other costumers and we were all agree that it is something you can't do to costumers here.I Everybody was feeling so uncomfortable about this. We don't want to be stress out on a restaurant,that's for sure.
