Service was poor. We had to ask for water, which had been removed from the table. A waitress had to be stopped just to order tea. The meanu is very limited. We had to ask for rice long after good was served. We were ignored after food was placed on the table. Food was mediocre. We've had better tasting Thai food in Portland restaurants with much less notoriaty with better service, and better atmosphere. Don't be impressed with "The place to go." Taste the food, observe the service, and judge for yourself. We wouldn't go back and it cost $146.00. They added an 18% gratuity, which I know we would never have given them.

The food has received raves from almost every media in the Northwest, and I agree with them. But you have to go there during the Summer...dining on their deck during the beautiful Portland Summer is a perfect evening. Don't worry if you have to wait for a for a table, you can sip a cocktail outside while you wait.
