| - We went here for dinner last night. First, our waiter was HORRIBLE. He didn't show up until we'd been seated for almost 15 minutes. No water or anything. Then, when he did show up, his opening line was, "What can I do for you?" Stop with the dumb questions! We're here for dinner... in case you forgot, you're supposed to make our dining experience pleasant.
The bad service was counterbalanced by the GREAT food.
Tom Kha Gai - perfect
Green Curry - just the right balance between the sweetness of the coconut milk with spicy heat.
Creme Brulee - all three flavors were great. They came in a three small dishes. I think the flavors were ginger lemon, orange green tea, and cinnamon
Overall:
I love Thai Food, and I've been to other Thai places in the Charlotte area. This place is okay, but something about the experience made if feel all wrong. One of the reasons I like going to Thai places is because they are authentic and usually family owned. The best thing I can relate it to is going to a mom-and-pop Italian restaurant vs. a trip to the olive garden.
Yes, the decor was "fancy" but I don't need to feel like I'm in some dance club to eat good food - it almost ruins the experience in my opinion.
The prices are fairly high and I've found food just as good at other Thai restaurants in the area and their service to be WAY better. If I'm paying top dollar to eat uptown, the service better be fantastic.
It looked like the other waitstaff had great attitudes and were serving their tables quickly. Hopefully they'll weed out the guy we had... looks like a couple other people who wrote reviews might have encountered him as well.
