We had an established reservation but before we got to our table they rudely informed us our table would only be available for a short time. We almost left and wish we had. The Pad Thai was mediocre at best; the basil beef was second rate; the service was adequate. Would not recommend.

Beautiful food and excellent service - no faults here. The ladies serving are always extremely friendly and attentive. They make excellent cocktails too. Only downside, and this is the ONLY downside for us, is that it's a small restaurant and each time we've been there has been loud groups whose noise really takes over the restaurant, which is a shame. I would definitely recommend people dining here - but book first to avoid disappointment.
