| - Mediocre food, awful service.
Our server looked disgruntled as she took our order - I would be too if I suffered under this management regime. Fortunately she rarely came by after that.
We order the mango salad, thai basil beef, and lobster stir-fry. The mango salad was mushy - we ate half of it and the server took it away (without asking if we wanted it removed, or how it was). The thai basil beef was lukewarm in termperature, not as spicy as advertised, and tasted like poor quality beef. The lobster stir fry was mediocre - likely frozen lobster tail, but for $45 we didn't expect too much. The thai "sticky" rice we asked for was in fact just jasmine rice.
The service was terrible: no one checked in on us AT ALL, i had to go to the bar to ask for another glass of wine to wash down the basil beef, I had to go to the bar to ask for the bill, I had to go the bar to PAY the bill, and when I mentioned to the manager that this was a terrible experience I got a shrug and "Okay then".
Yes, I know it's a tourist trap - but there are many better places for thai food (e.g. Khao San Road) and service (e.g. any sports bar). Go across the street to Adega or Oro or the Queen and Beaver. I eat out 20 out of 21 meals per week at all kinds of places - I don't expect a heck of a lot for a $110 meal for two, but they managed to stagger under the bar.
