Review by hoopak on January 1, 2008

It seems like the restaurant is still finding its feet, but that's okay. The bar is actually one of the highpoints: the beers on tap are Widmer, Dominion, etc. and they make one or two infused vodkas. The cocktail menu was varied, inventive, and interesting. I was impressed - you don't see that much focus on a bar in most Thai restaurants. The food was pretty straightforward, although we tried the spiciest dish on the menu ("Wild Wild") and were not blown away (although it was tasty). They did use authentic ingredients such as the little round Thai eggplants, and it's nice touches like that that make me want to come back in a month or two to see how the kitchen evolves.
