Food overrated, but good atmosphere

by popalina

My title pretty much says it all. The restaurant is in a great location and is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful job with the renovation of the building. It could certainly serve well for a romantic dinner or out with friends. But it is crowded on weekends and I don't think they take reservations.

But the food is... eh. Not bad, but not great either. I guess I'd call it pretty good. But it is certainly overrated and does not deserve the praise that it receives, in my opinion. The sushi is good, but not unlike anything that you can get at the other places in town. Every time I've had the curry it seemed that rich flavors were replaced with an excess of salt. The drinks are overpriced.

So, I don't avoid it, but I don't seek it out or crave it. Friends inevitably seem to suggest it when figuring out where to meet for dinner. Apparently it is the place to go. But I just don't think that this is because the food is anything spectacular, but for other reasons altogether.

• Pros: atmosphere, building, location
• Cons: overpriced, average food, often crowded

Best Thai in Town

by mabrown

Absolutely love this place. The food is great and the kitchen staff is willing to custom make any dish! Our faves are pad thai, chicken laap, and anything from the sushi menu. They also have great soups...yummy

• Pros: Food, Food, Food
• Cons: Parking

Best Pad Thai

by warnerkr

This place is great (and addictive!) if you know what to order. The pad thai is sensational - perfect blend of spicy and sweet. The spicy fried rice also hits the spot, and the curry is excellent. The sushi rolls are also very tasty - try the mexican roll for something a little different. And if you like bloody mary's, you'll be in heaven here! Great atmosphere and service as well... you'll love it.

• Pros: Great food and fun atmosphere
• Cons: Parking lot can be a little condensed
