Had such a fun night of dining and cocktails for my birthday! We were a group of 10, and really appreciated being able to order à la carte, especially with vegetarians and pescatarians in the group. The great variety of cocktails added to the celebration. This was my second visit, and I’d definitely recommend it for either a cozy, intimate dinner or a bigger get-together. The traditional Thai food was absolutely delicious, served in a funky, stylish setting.
