arriviste- very nice website and nice looking menu too- but pet peeve: Rice is THE MOST important component in a Thai meal (noodles are actually Chinese imports, given Thai accents of course), and rice is extra on this menu- at Thai places I've been to in other cities, a server will come to each table with a massive and ornate metal bowl of rice and pile (PILE) it onto each diner's plate, and refill when the plate is empty. This notion that rice is a side dish is really annoying, especially when, if you've actually had a curry dished up properly-heaping plate of perfect jasmine rice, curry added to make a sort of slurry, consumed with a SPOON and not a fork or (God help you) chopsticks so you get to taste every morsel and all the textures-- it's like heaven.
