I had hoped to set my taste buds tingling with a nice spicy Thai dish. I ordered duck with kumquat sauce. I ordered it extra hot hoping to get a nice blend of heat and sweet. As I've come to expect from an upscale Thai restaurant, the dish heat level ranked 0 on my heat scale. It was still tasty despite have 0 heat. I would probably return to try some of the other dishes.
I did see on my receipt that rice was actually an extra $1.50. I don't recall seeing anything on the menu that mentioned this. I'm not sure why upscale restaurants like to hit you with up a-la carte style pricing when their hole in the wall cousins make equally tasty if not tastier dishes and give you free rice. I'm pretty sure that the $3.40 profit on the $3.50 soda more than makes up for the $.05 worth of rice. If they wanted $1.50 for the rice, then they should bump up the price of the dish by $1.50 and provide "free" rice.
Be sure to have enough room on your credit card since this place isn't cheap.
