I was here years ago and dined in and it was amazing. We got takeout today. 3 stars for being exactly on time, but the food isn't the delicious and high quality food I remembered. I think it's unfair to compare takeout to sit down. Food just tastes better when served hot. I remember it being the best Thai food I had eaten outside of Thailand, and maybe tonight was an off night, but we had guests who love Thai food over (so naturally I thought of Lotus - we don't eat there regularly now because our kids aren't adventurous...) and I was apologetic after the meal. Hopefully it was a one-time poor experience on a busy long weekend. Come on Lotus, rooting for you.
