| - Great little find in downtown Chandler! Have not made it for happy hour yet, but definitely plan on doing so!
The Goods:
*THE FOOD! OMG, THE FOOD! Quality ingredients and authentic flavors. Many gluten free choices. Howevwr, if you suffer from Celiac disease, do not order the fried items noted GF as they're fried in the same oil as non-GF items. We have tried several items. My favorite being the summer rolls, Thai lettuce wraps (not your basic wraps. They do pack a little kick and a phenomenal citrus flavor. Think Mariscos mixed with PF Changs and then taken up a couple levels in awesomeness), and the Massamun curry (those short ribs are AHH-mazing, and the curry sauce...my mouth is watering just thinking about it). And I LOVE that they custom spice your food! "How hot do you want it?" Oh, VERY hot, young man!
*Nice but casual ambience. I wore a nice dress for dinner because we were going out afterwards and I did not feel overdressed. However, I've also been here before with jeans and sandals and was equally comfortable.
*Friendly, unpretentious service. Waiters are very nice and genuinely helpful.
The Bads:
*Chill, maybe too chill service. While very nice service, do NOT come in if you're trying to eat and run. They do sometimes take a little long bringing you drinks or taking your order. But if you're in good company and not starving to death, the time passes quickly. Oh, and fair warning, if you order something spicy, do ask the waiter for extra water because waiting for them to refill your glass while your mouth is on fire may not be too attractive if you're on a hot date! Once, they fine tune the attentiveness of they're wait staff, this will definitely be a 5-star type of place!
Tip: Stop in for an after dinner cup of joe next door at Peixoto. Sometimes they have live music on weekends. Their cascara tea (cold or hot) is good too!
