"I LOVED this restaurant when it first opened and enjoyed it fairly often for lunch during last several years. I have always enjoyed the lunch food and service. HOWEVER, I took a friend there for her birthday dinner last Friday and could not have been more disappointed! We ordered a martini at the bar before dinner. The staff behind the bar had no idea what they were doing and after a lot of discussion and trips back to the kitchen, served us a half vodka/ half old olive juice concoction that was lukewarm. When we informed the bartender that they were not good, he basically did not respond. Because of my former affinity for the place, we shrugged it off as a young staff who did not have any experience and hoped that dinner would be better. Staff wise, things did not improve at all. Our server was extremely awkward and had no sense of timing or ability to create rapport. Other then the spring rolls and Tom Kha soup , (which were great as usual), the rest of our meal was mediocre. The mixed grill, which was always my favorite, was poorly cooked and barely warm. The rice was awful and tasted like it came from a box. To top things off, our server did not consult us about how to divide up the check and completely bungled the bills twice, creating more awkwardness as we had to figure it out ourselves. Seriously, if this restaurant had any integrity, they would give us back the $175 we wasted on this unfortunate night!!!!"
