I came here for dinner with friends on a Monday evening. The place was quite empty. We ordered a mango salad, shrimp paste on sugarcane, chicken wings, fried dough & the mixed brochettes. Food was very good though I was a bit disappointed with the fried dough. For dessert, we had the fried banana & mango « panna cotta ». They were delicious. The waiter was super friendly. Even though the place was empty, I loved the decor. I'm sure the ambiance must be better on the weekend.

The cocktails were excellent! I had the'shaking beef' that came with rice & was delicous (if you like salty). The papaya salad was very good & came with strips of sweet & chewy beef. My boyfriend had vermicelli with chicken brochettes that were a little dry. Overall, a nice experience.
Our first time coming back since the name change & renovations. We ordered the pork chop, pad thai, mango salad, imperial rolls, & spring rolls. Everything was good, particularly the pork chop & salad, however the imperial rolls were on the small side. I'll definitely be back to order form the new tapas menu as it looked very interesting. Dreadful service. Despite not being busy, Our waitress took forever to take our order, & after our order was finally taken, our food took just as long if not longer to show up. I'd say it was a little over an hour between being seated & any food arriving. Our drinks were forgotten about & only came towards the end of dinner. Service improved after another server joined the floor from break. For things to take this long, & for items to be completely forgotten about, I would expect an apology at least. Good food, terrible service.
