Everything was great. I didn't realize there was an 18% service charge because it was Christmas; I didn't recall seeing anything in Open Table when I booked the reservation. The folks at the table next to me weren't aware of the 18% service charge either. That didn't include gratuity (tip for the server)! Add that to over 20% tip and it's 40% added to the price of the dinner, which adds a lot. Makes for a surprise amount when you weren't aware!!

A perfectly beautiful culinary Christmas Eve!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The mussels, calamari, scallops, and chicken fennel pasta last night were some of the best dishes I've ever had there. Overall the food was spot on, the staff are all marvelous and the ambiance is always right!

Another great Thai restaurant in Phoenix. If you like Lom Wong or Glai Bann then you will like this place. More unique offerings than most Thai restaurants and all the dishes we had were excellent.

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
