Loved the space and service but the food fell a bit flat and was not satisfying. This restaurant is beautiful and the staff from the time we entered to the time we left was very friendly and always smiling. The gals at the front welcomed us with smiles and even complimented my wife on her beauty and outfit. Our waiter was great and explained that the menu is like Tapas style and the dishes are meant to be shared. We dug in and ordered a variety of delights. Surprised that everything came at once and in just minutes. Started with the Mango Papaya Salad which was good. A bit sweet and we thought it needed some heat to offset the sweetness. The Frog Legs were also sweet but pretty good. The Crab Lumpia is a great menu idea but totally does not work. You cannot taste the crab between the fried wrapper and Sweet Chili Sauce. The Hamachi Crudo was good but I was turned off by the mayonnaise that covered the fresh fish. The Krazy Fried Rice was pretty good. After all this we were still hungry so we ordered the Thai Basil Chicken which was our favorite dish of the night. Filled with great flavors that we enjoyed. My wife saw a large pile of French Fries on the table next to us and she just had to order them. They were good but there was absolutely no Lemongrass flavor. Liked everything about this place but just wish the food had some bolder flavors.
