Amazing cocktails and fantastic appetizer options. The mains we're great too, but those two aspects were standouts!

Busy Friday night when we went. Server was on the ball all night. Amazing service.
Food was plentiful and fresh. Thanks for a great meal out for the first time in a long time.

Table was set aside and reserved upon arrival. Drinks were offered immediately including a bottle of wine. Appetizers were excellent. Service was attentive and prompt. Dinner was absolutely fantastic. We had a group of five and everyone was very, very happy. Great evening.

Lovely spot. Had the Tom Kha soup and my partner had the Khao Soi. Both were delicious. Good Asian beer selection.
