A beautifully serene and creative atmosphere with wonderful dishes that are beautifully served.! Not your usual Thai menu; the chef has gone beyond to craft these dishes with something extra. Lovely service as well.

Food was DELICIOUS. The food came out at all different times, so that was a little odd. But genuinely no notes other than that. Our entire party of 5 enjoyed their meals. Would absolutely recommend.

The food was absolutely amazing. But the place itself is small the table they offered us had barely enough space to fit our order. Was disappointed that we got this even with a prior reservation and a request for a good table
