BEWARE. The Gluten Free (GF) Labels on the menu mean GF options available for that dish, NOT that the dish is gluten free. Talk to your server about your order. I was excited when seeing the GF labels all over the menu, especially when seeing that most of those dishes involved pita bread. Sadly after talking to the bartender I learned that their pita is (obviously) not GF. Their rice pilaf also has soy sauce in it, so do not just assume the dish is GF even though they are labeled GF. Service was great and the food was good. Pricey, but normal for the gaslamp area and it was very tasty.

Food was out of this world. Some of the best Thai food I've had. The meats were tender and flavorful. That fried fish was crispy and most. The beef stew flavor was bright, savory, and crisp. Well worth what you pay for it. I would definitely be interested in trying some of those cocktails next time! My friend had the Beef Tallow fried rice and the NY steak on that was epic... Tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Order it Medium Rare at the very most.... But rare if you can handle it. You will not be disappointed. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options if needed.

I used to live around the area and this is my go to spot! Moved to the other side of town and still love when have something to do in the area and I get to stop by. The music is upbeat, the food is filling but not heavy, and the ingredients they use make me feel great. I have a gluten allergy and love that they give me two slices of toast! Gluten free bread is a lot smaller than normal bread and most places don’t make up the difference. All juices, bowls and smoothies are made fresh in house too and they have travel bottles for convenience :)

Oh my goodness! Everything here was amazing - from the service to the food to the atmosphere. Every employee was on point, knew their role, and executed it perfectly! The food is to die for. We had the 5 course menu, and it rocked. I am gluten-free, and they were so accommodating and didn't make it seem like I was an inconvenience to them. Why this restaurant doesn't have at least one Michelin star is beyond my grasp. It's that good!!!! Go here and you won't regret it.
