Around 5 months ago, I went to this excellent Thai spot with another group, and I have been meaning to go back. Expect well-spiced Thai food. Pictured is their outstanding version of Massaman Curry

Expected price: $40 to $50: $44 for 5 or $48 if we do two pomelo salads (we'll decide.)

Menu for 5.
