My mother-in-law grew up on this type of food, so when she came to visit for Christmas, we thought this would be a fun place to take her. The menu looked interesting and the high review scores were promising. We went on a Thursday night and got there for a late dinner after running some other errands about 8:00.
When I first walked in, I thought they might be closing because ninety percent of the dining room was empty and had been blocked off. But a guy by the door - who I eventually figured out worked there - said it would only be a minute for the table. So I gave him my name and we waited. After about 10 minutes, he came by and told us they were clearing a table. 10 minutes later he said that again. After 30 minutes of waiting, he admitted that he had no idea when seating would be available. We gave up and left - the Thai food next door was fantastic.
If they had just been upfront and told us that most of their seating was unavailalbe, we would have placed a to-go order. But don't say you're clearing a table if there isn't really a table...
