    love this restaurant . The dishes are a bit too spicy! i’ve eaten here 4 times and they should put the red pepper and spices to the side. The service and ambiance are wonderful!!

    -poor wine list - nothing we ate was great. Lots more sauce with very little meat. Yuk Oysters and overpriced for what they were - hate sitting with other people and can’t hear yourself talking - hard to see location sign first time - hostess was not warm or inviting and frankly acted clueless Not great selection of food. Need more choices and something’s that aren’t spicy.

    Amazing as always! Service was very slow, but polite, enthusiastic, and courteous. The food was very slow coming out to us. We ordered the coconut chicken soup and 2 of the Son-in-law dishes!! Yummy! Love the vibe too!

    Everything we had was delish!! Favorite was the mussels and cocktails! Try the Key Lime Crush or a Lychee Martini with the Japanese gin (yum!).

    I was pleasantly surprised by its unique communal dining concept. Sharing a long table with other diners added a social and lively touch to the meal, making it feel more like a shared experience than just another dinner out. The food was fantastic—authentic Thai flavors, fresh ingredients, and well-balanced spices. Whether you’re going with friends or open to meeting new people over great food, this place is definitely worth a visit!
