| - So the first thing that strikes you when you walk in is that this is a beautiful restaurant. You can't help but be seduced.
We were greeted warmly at the door, seated immediately and given water and menus promptly. Each of the staff came through and introduced themselves, our server Rebecca tells us this is a family operation and apparently so because her mother and step-father (guessing here but probably got enough info to make this accurate) eventually come through, introduce themselves, offer to help with menu selections and we all feel welcome and well attended.
Food was very solid...rib appetizers, awesome. Green papaya salad was entirely tasty, but not spicy. Pad Thai and Thai Basil were not my choices but I certainly wasn't complaining either. Food was well prepared, pacing was perfect, rice was perfect.
If I had one complaint, it's simply the prices which just seem to be more than I would have to spend elsewhere in a good Thai restaurant (though I'm not going to name any names for comparison). Price setting is a marketing decision that they have made and perhaps given their location, decor, quality of food, many will think their pricing is reasonable but I don't.
Food, staff, experience all say 5 stars, pricing says no and that's my opinion.
