In a small, intimate dining room, award-winning chef/owner Arun Sampanthavivat and his staff create stunning Thai banquets. Entrees like gingery-veal (veal medallions lightly glazed with tamarind, sauced with a ginger, lemon grass and miso mixture, and served with fried vegetable roll) and appetizers like homoktala (a banana-leaf packet filled with red snapper in spicy yellow curry steamed on bed cha-ploo leaves) entrance diners. If you call in advance, Arun will design a special menu for the table based on your preferences. Attention is paid to every detail, from the fancifully carved vegetables on the plates to the Thai art on the walls - much of which was done by Arun himself and his brother Anawat.
