    A big fan of this restaurant. I’ve dined there 3 times in the past week for various occasions and all experiences have been exceptional. Margaritas are perfectly made and complement the style of Thai food well. Bites & Skewers all amazing and the duck curry and short ribs are other dishes we’ve enjoyed.

    Amazing experience! I booked a spot for 18 people. The team were so accommodating! I called a few days earlier and they were able to seat us in a more private area. At no extra cost or minimum spend, it is incredible value here!

We had their chorizo cocktail, and they were even lovely enough to let us preview one of the cocktails coming on their new menu! A pina colada riff that was smooth and velvety Everything was absolutely incredible and we will definitely be back soon!
