    Surprisingly authentic thai / viet fare - pad Thai, green curry, Har Mok. Prawn vindaloo though tinkered with a bit too much to claim the name. Overall great experience with a large group.

    We were the first group of 5 including 2 kids on new years eve. All the seats were empty and the music was blasting with very loud speakers. We requested to be seated away from the speakers and a table with cushions. Absolutely refused to accommodate a simple request. Food was tasteless and overly priced. We left and not surprising, the place was a quarter full at most. Would not come back here.

    Food and ambience amazing but the wine list is extremely overpriced, some bottles are marked close to 4 x, as well as not enough selections around the $100 mark and under.

    We had a great experience last night at GAO. The food was amazing and reminded me of my travels to Thailand and Vietnam. The dishes were authentic and the service with a smile was a change from other Miami restaurants where you seem to bother the wait staff when you ask too many questions. The manager was very courteous and generous to buy us deserts. Strongly recommend it.
