$$$$Price: Moderate • Thai • The Marigny
We have dined many at SukhoThai—mainly at this Marigny location. Our waitress during this experience was particularly helpful and attentive, and the food was quite good and flavorful. two in our party ordered the Kwan Yin cocktail, a Japanese whiskey based drink that we have ordered many times before. However, this time, it had a strong cinnamon flavor that everyone at our table thought was Fireball. We discussed, wondered if they were out of the Japanese whiskey and the bartender naively substituted with Fireball, or we just got the wrong drink. I mentioned our dissatisfaction to our waitress who apologized and swiftly consulted with the bartender. The bartender came to our table with the Japanese whiskey bottle, informed us that the drink was made with the particular Japanese whiskey; with an unnecessary condescending tone, she told us that they not only did not have Fireball in the restaurant, but they did not have any cinnamon. She then looked away, dismissively, as I pointed to my glass that may have been missing two sips. Ultimately, they comped the two drinks (even though my spouse finished his and we told them comping was not necessary). Still, the haughty attitude and unsolved mystery of the Kwan Yin Fireball, dampened this experience. We will be back, but we will be cautious about the cocktails we order.
