    If I could leave this place 100 stars I would! We stumbled across this gem on vacation and I would come back just for more. The brick house melt is perfect and paired with the clam and corn chowder, it's the perfect comfort meal. Flavors were excellent! I'm sure all the other soups are just as good and service was great! Definitely don't pass this place up.

    Incredibly good soup and grilled cheeses. Seasoned wonderfully, and for very reasonable prices

Very small indoor space that seats 9 people total, so it gets cozy quickly. There are a few parking spaces right in front so parking is convenient. Can't wait to come back and try the Pho!

We ordered chicken wings & a large pho that allegedly had three kinds of beef in it. The wings were excellent: properly seasoned & lightly breaded. The kind if crunch you only hear in commercials. The pho broth was delicious, but the amount of meat in it was meagre, as were the condiments you could put in it: less than a handful of beansprouts. Some basil. At least there was the requisite slice of lime & siracha was on the table But the wait!? Almost an hour to get those two dishes. The hostess/server's attitude swung between totally oblivious & condescending. We asked for a ladle to move the big bowl's contents into each individual's bowl & were icily told that they didn't have anything for customer use. You can imagine how tedious it was to try to fill two individual bowls using Asian spoons and a lone tablespoon. What were these people thinking opening a restaurant?

    We came here a few times last year and it was decent enough to fill that Thai craving. However,…read morethis year they have put the price up for lunch to $18.95, and the portion size is terrible for that price. This time I had the lunch which comes with soup, salad, 2 appraisers and the main meal choice. Sounds like a good deal right??! The soup and salad cone in cups so small I don't know where they found them, it was actually comical. The appraiser was a spring roll (which was good) and a shumi. The shumi app was literally one tiny dumpling the size of the tip of my thumb. Ummm.... For the main course I got the butternut squash curry and asked for it at a level 2 when she asked me how hot on a scale of 1-5. It was so hot I could not eat it. Had my partner try it and he could not either. It also came with just 3 shrimp. For $19. My partner had fried rice with chicken and apps of chicken sauté and a spring roll. He said the chicken sauté was ridiculously small and not good. I tried his rice and thought it was good, but that was the only winner in the meal for the $50 for lunch.

Spoiler alert: you're not going to get lobster rolls here. What are you are going to get is authentic tasting Thai food. The curries were out of the world. The Tom Yum soup was delicious. The appetizers were all tasty as well. I'd love to go back.

    This review is really only good for a short period of time, as signage announced that this place…read morewas sunsetting operations by the end of 2025 after a ten-year run. This is a shame, because the place brings a great culinary diversity to an area where others might, as I did, want to pull over on the way to Bar Harbor. Vegan options were plentiful, and I got my coconut-infused curry with chickpeas, receiving a zingy, spicy flavor. Their naan was somewhat unconventionally given as an appetizer with chutneys, but this worked fine for me and it was freshly grilled. The portion size for the price was not huge, and I was actually surprised that they didn't do traditional Sri Lankan dishes like kootu paratha, but I was happy that i pulled over, and the option remains to travelers for a little while longer.

The place has few tables and a tin ceiling, and played some awesome retro forties music. Divine. The mulligatawny stew was fab, had tons of chicken and a good broth. The butter chicken was superb and the naan fresh baked. What a delicious meal. We got dessert there, a Mom's cake, that was full of nuts and had a side of cream that blew us away. So good! The service was spot on and attentive. I cannot wait to go back--as long as it's winter. You can't get a table there in the summer months. That is ok by me--I like having the place to locals in the winter. It feels homey.
