My wife and I arrived about ten minutes before our reservation and were wowed by the space - which, I must say, was very cool. We chose to wait for our table at the upstairs bar and were again pleasantly surprised by my wife's yummy "mango tamarind martini." The rest of the night was complete dogshit. We were finally seated about 45 minutes after our reservation - nearly an hour after we arrived to be greeted by a boring menu with nothing that jumps out as a "must-try." One dish whose description was rather vague - Thai Roasted Chicken" was described by our water as "roasted chicken" when we asked for more detail. Clearly, you F-ing moron! When we asked what makes it Thai, he replied: "a Thai sauce." My wife, sensing my frustration with this idiot, politely asked the waiter to describe the "Thai sauce." He clarified that it was "not too spicy, but not too sweet." Every dish ordered throughout the night was bad - some on the verge of disgusting, not to mention the terrible service and the tourist trap / bridge & tunnel crowd. Avoid this dump at all costs.
Pros: amazing interior
Cons: terrible service and even worse food
