Really nice ambience. The food was so-so. The beverages were amazing!

I tried the spring rolls, yellow curry and pad see you. They were okay; nothing to write home about.
I’d the spiced almond lavender - it was yummy! 😋😋

The staff are really patient and nice! Parking may get tricky!!

The food here caters to the majority clientele that frequent the Marina. Branded as a Thai/American fusion brunch spot, the majority of the menu is standard American cuisine, such as burgers and omelettes with a few classic Thai dishes like pad Thai, pad see ew, and fried rice added to the lineup. I found the food quite lacking in flavor other than salt, and there were what appeared to be cooked frozen vegetables, not fresh, in my entree, which, after tax and tip, cost $30. Nothing so simple and baisc should cost that much, especially when the ingredients aren’t high quality. Never mind the long wait time for a table. This place leaves much to be desired, and I won’t be getting brunch again in the Marina anytime soon.

This is a very beautiful and unique restaurant!
I had to try the pineapple fried rice which is served in the pineapple. It was very, very good. I also loved the colorful cocktail.

My friend liked her food too but said it was a bit salty. So, maybe not consistent quality throughout the menu.

Additionally, it is QUITE pricey (I paid over $50 w/ tip for the rice and cocktail)

My friends and I went here for the first time today for New Year's brunch. It was quite busy, but we got seated around the time of our reservation. The server wasn't particularly attentive and had to be flagged down to take our order, but that was fine and the food started coming out at reasonable time. Unfortunately, however, only half of our table got food. After about 10 minutes without an update about the rest of our food, we flagged down our server to follow up. We were never provided an update, but food came out after another 10 minutes. By this time (20 minutes later), half of our table had already finished eating.

The food that came out late included the moco benedict and the lemon ricotta pancakes. We were disappointed, however, as the pancakes were dense and mushy, as if they were not cooked long enough. On the other hand, for the benedict, the poached eggs were overcooked and basically hard boiled, not runny at all. At this point, I was not willing to ask anything to be remade as I feared it would take another 20 minutes. When my friend went to pay (again, our server did not follow up with us), she mentioned that the eggs were not runny and the server offered to remake the eggs. I felt quite exasperated and really didn't understand why they would offer to remake just the eggs, as we were paying and getting ready to leave. And after the lackluster service, we were charged the default 20% gratuity for a party of 5.

While I get New Year's day can be busy, the service (or lack thereof) and quality of food today made this a place I would never recommend.
