| - So here's the skinny on our experience.
Décor: Modern, Sleek..ultimately a little cold and austere. Good, Bad..depends on your mood I guess.
Service: Young Asian girl, stellar server. I'm a question asker. Whats this? Why this? What does this mean? Every question fielded effortlessly as if she had cooked it herself. Very prompt and courteous.
Drinks: Pass. I ordered a drink that supposedly had 151 rum inside. It would take me 4 drinks to catch a buzz (this coming from someone that gets drunk on 4 sips.) The cocktail menu is unimaginative and probably cobbled together by their liquor rep to sell more skyy vodka.
Food: Very well appointed, artfully plated, but a little bland, commercially palatable for the American palette, so if you're idea of spicy is something akin to putting a little pepper on your fries, have at it...If you like your Thai food with an authentic kick, go somewhere else. Also they charge for rice bout $4. For a 6oz bowl. Note: I would rather you tell me my curry was $18, then tell me it was $14 plus $4. For the rice. How many of us eat our curry without rice? Not many.
Seftel called this his new favorite Thai place...Howard my friend, you are suspect. Sometimes I wonder if maybe you're the one that we should be reviewing O.o
Total cost, 1 drink, 1 appetizer, 2 curries (plus rice), dessert. $78.99. Still hungry upon leaving...still craving Thai food.
Pros: Sleek interior, One well trained server (Matinie? her ticket said). Great presentation and plating.
Cons: Shameful drinks, Bland slightly overpriced food. Scottsdale strikes again.
Bottom line is that this place has great potential, if only they could take the plastic covers off the upholstery, and let their Thai Flag fly. Warm it all up a little. The ambiance, the food...and make sure that all the servers are as good as the one we had. Soi 4 you have a ways to go, but a straight shot to get there! I only wish I could say that we'd be back to see if you do...but it's doubtful. So many places to try, so little time...
