"I stayed at the attached Hampton hotel on business and was looking for a great dinner where I could dine alone. I was told by the desk to try this restaurant. I walked in and was astounded at how beautiful the restaurant and bar were, it was during the Christmas season. I was given a corner table by the hostess which I loved. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and was impressed by the menu (I have worked or consulted for some very high restaurants/retailers in Manhattan). I had a waitress, if I'm correct her name was Amy. She came off as very professional but in some ways sweet. She was a great waitress. She brought me my order perfectly timed from my cocktail to my wine to my appetizer to the entree and to the dessert. I knew I picked the right place when I ordered a Negroni and it was perfectly made. I had a great salad but I was most impressed by the cassoulet. I've eaten in Paris, Montreal, NYC etc. and it was probably the best cassoulet I have ever had. It was delicious! Everything else was also very good including my chocolate dessert. Unfortunately my espresso was poorly made. The flavor was there but not the technique. After my meal I felt so comfortable that I decided to stay a bit longer and asked Amy if the restaurant carried Amaro. She didn't know what they were and the bartender Peter immediately came to my table and explained what he had. To my surprise he had Amaro Lucano, a spirit from my wife's small town in Italy. Very hard to find. The bar has an awesome menu of wine, spirits and beers. He gave me the drink on the house and recommended that I try one of his drinks called a Boulevardier. It was excellent. Most importantly Peter was very professional and maybe because of my being in the food business too, he told me about the restaurant and gave me a tour. I totally felt his passion about his job which was great to see! Anyway he was a great bartender. In short, I totally loved this restaurant from its ambiance to its menu to its staff. Wish it were in NYC. Can't wait to go back!"

"I love this place, but your menu is extremely limited and unfortunately even the limited menu has elements that are sold out. bonkers when they ask me. I came to give them my money and they didn't have my food (wahhh) sooo I had to fall a star. whatever. they get brownie points for the bottomless mimosas and if they have all the items on their menu, eating is always delicious. brunch is only Sunday, but I suggest they try to get her luck and try to eat here. if they have something they want to eat on the menu(and it is not sold out) they will not be disappointed."

"I went to Thai Orchid for the first time as a recommendation from a friend. The waiter was so helpful and answered many of my questions. I visited Thai restaurants, but this time I was looking for a more unique experience, as my friend mentioned, that this restaurant had a few more dishes related to his home country Burma. So, I was hit with some options and finally on the Kao Soi. It was delicious! As I would describe it, a curry soup with noodles and vegetables is so good. We also had some appetizers that were delicious, the Samosas (they were surprisingly similar to Samosas you would get from an Indian restaurant). The ambience in the restaurant was beautiful and we had all the space for us. The waiter was attentive to our needs, but also gave us privacy so that we could chat and catch up."

"The wife and I stoped at the Albany location on a Sunday afternoon on our way home from Maine . The server was very polite and helpful . Wife got the Asian beet salad with grilled chicken which came poked high and was today’s lunch also . I had the bacon broccoli grilled cheese with greens . Both meals were served woth cool salads and hot chicken grilled cheese . Was pleasantly surprised when I ordered a flight of six and requires no IPA’s and got just that . A very nice selection of beers to quench any preference . Would highly recommend to friends and family . My only complaint is the lack of a low cost growler . paid $28 for a fancier Growler than i normally get , but it was still a decent price for style .that being said , it didn’t keep me from taking home a 2L if the Dark Lager ."
