We checked before hand lbecause of food allergies and dietary restrictions and were informed that the staff would happily accommodate our dietary preferences. We were delighted to find so many options that were gluten free and vegetarian and the wait staff and chef eager to make sure of our choices. Not only was the atmosphere and service outstanding, but every single thing we had was delicious. Chef Patty was incredibly kind and came to speak to us and check in throughout the evening. This was truly a dining experience and the best Thai food ive ever had! We will definately be coming back.

Chef Patty greeted us, took our order, explained the menu and goal of the atmosphere and experience she is looking to recreate. She absolutely delivered on her vision. All of the wait staff were incredibly friendly. There were four of us all doing the 5 course experience. I ordered primarily from the plant based menu which was so thoughtfully prepared. The plating and presentation was phenomenal. Each dish built on the previous and was a gradual introduction of heat (spiciness) in a very methodical way. All four of us left no morsel of food on our dishes and we left feeling satiated. This is the best Thai dining experience I've ever had. Even the music was soothing. We were not rushed the dishes came out with a cadence that allowed for us to enjoy each other's company and comment on the dishes, fresh ingredients and really elevate the evening. Chef Patty has done something very special here and this is a hidden gem I highly encourage you to experience.

We selected the 5-course prix fixe option. Every dish was an unfolding of flavors with each bit. Chef Patty suggested closing our eyes when eating first course Basil leaf roll-up thing), which was spot on as it truly enhanced the experience.
