    The restaurant is closed for renovations. And despite that fact, they took a reservation. No wonder there was an opening at the time I wanted!

    Restaurant was inexplicably closed on a Sunday despite taking my OpenTable reservation. No sign on door or any notice provided. Why is this place offered on Open Table?

    I had lunch here on a Saturday with some friends. I had the lunch special (Rama with mock duck) and my friends had soups and curries. Everyone enjoyed their food and left feeling stuffed. The prices were great, especially for the portions. The ambiance is not romantic. it's more...functional. Clean space and not too loud, although it was pretty busy by 1' oclock. Service was fine and food came out quickly. I would recommend it if you're in the area, but I wouldn't necessarily get on a subway to eat there again. Also a plus: many great vegetarian options.

    If you want to try authentic Lebanese flavors, you can't miss here. Hookah and late night drinks after a show? PERFECT CHOICE. I'd like to come back and try the 10 meze sampler with my beau. Super - friendly host, packed with locals, and good value. Dim and candlelit. Great for hand-holding, feeding a friend, or even intrigue. It's a cool place. We will be back. : )

    Great casual dinning and delicious food! Our server was patient with the kids, the portions were sizable to share and it was very reasonably priced.

    Good Thai food in a very accessible location on Ninth Avenue just off 42nd Street. They have some fun and quite tasty specialty drinks (I had the Blue Hawaii). A new item on the menu, peanut dumplings . . . well wow, they were delicious. I go for the traditional, so I had Pad Thai with tofu and it was everything I hoped it would be. My friend had the Pad Thai with chicken and loved it. Our waiter was a sweetheart . . . very attentive and also darn cute. I will definitely go back and anyone who enjoys Thai food will not be disappointed.
