we were looking for the best Thai food downtown and this place was it. the atmosphere is very open, with great decor and an open kitchen/bar in the center of the room. that being said, it wasn't loud and we were able to have a pleasant conversation seated by the wall. Our server was attentive to our dietary needs (gluten free) and preferences (ultra spicy). she made sure we would get food that we could eat and enjoy and even brought extra spice when requested. the food was tremendous, perfectly cooked noodles and balanced flavor.
