Food: Passable plates for casual palates

The BBQ Chicken comes in with a smoky charm, followed by the Pad Thai dangling a rich palette of flavors and textures. But, the Siam Spring Rolls steal the show with their freshness. Yet, the food is marred by its lackluster creativity, underwhelming freshness, and a loose interpretation of portions. The menu does stand out in offering an array of options, catering to a wide variety of tastes.

  • Great Variety

    Diverse, extensive options with consistent taste; something for everyone.

  • Okay Taste

    Mixed feedback on food: sometimes flavorful, sometimes mediocre or bland.

Vibe: Ambiance bruised by bright beats

The restaurant tries to pull off being trendy with a vibe that's bright in more ways than one; from the lighting to the noise level. Don't nurse romantic intentions here; the close seating and louder-than-life atmosphere can put a damper on intimate tales. However, their drinks menu seems to meet approval, offering strong, well-priced cocktails.

  • Great Drinks

    Cocktails strong and well-priced, bartenders phenomenal, extensive drink selection.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Loud music, crowded space, and overly bright lighting disrupt ambiance.

Perks: Perks take a hard left

This spot hasn’t mastered the art of offering perks yet. Between the indecisive parking, no reservation policy, impersonal outdoor seating, and complaints about their treatment of groups and staff, they leave a lot to be desired. Yet, they do accommodate dietary restrictions and the outdoor seating might suggest pet-friendly policies.

  • Great For Diets

    Accommodating to vegetarians, vegans, often willing to substitute.

  • Okay To Park

    Mixed experiences with parking; varies from easy to problematic availability.

  • Bad For Groups

    Cramped seating, noisy atmosphere, and long waits for large groups.
