A: I went here a month or so ago, and forgot to write my review, but I remember the whole lunch very well because it was such a terribly disappointing experience. I desperately wanted to like this place, because I work so close and love Thai food, but it was just not a good experience. The food wasn't horrible, but nothing that made me want to come back, and the service was awful. I'll start with the food. I ordered the Pra-Rahm lunch special. At the time I went, it was described as coming with a Spicy and Peanut Sauce. I took this as being one sauce, and this was exactly what I was looking for. However, when they brought it out, I found that these were two completely separate sauces. One was a very watery, spiced sauce, and the other was an incredibly thick, very sweet peanut sauce. The two didn't mix well, and neither really had that flavor I was looking for. The spicy one wasn't hot, rather just had a lot of spices in it. The peanut sauce was too thick and sweet for my tastes (would have been much better on top of some kind of dessert, in my opinion). The chicken and vegetables I had were cooked well, but I couldn't enjoy them because of the sauces. Now, I'll talk about the service. The entire place was being served by only two servers. Not that this place is huge, but there are probably 25ish tables in there, which is far too many for 2 people, if you want any service at all. On top of that, I managed to overhear one server talking and learned that one of the servers was training. So, really, there were only about 1.5 servers working. There is seemingly no organization as to which server helps with table, either. I walked in and was taken to a table by one server. I looked at the menu for a few minutes, decided on the Pra-Rahm, and set it down to wait for my server to return. 15 minutes went by before someone returned. The server that returned asked what I wanted to drink, and left. They came back with water, and didn't ask for my order, walking away again. It wasn't until I had been sitting for about 30 minutes that someone took my order. That, to me, is an absolutely ridiculous amount of time. Every time one of the two servers working walked by, they would make eye contact, and then look for the other, like they thought the other person was supposed to be taking care of me. It's not that they weren't friendly on the rare occasion that they made it to my table, they just didn't take care of their duties as servers. I could see the manager working, handling the to-go orders, but she wasn't doing much. You would think that the manager would help serve, since that was where the restaurant really needed help (not many to-go orders coming through), but she just watched and walked back into the kitchen. I was more patient than many others who had come in after me, as I watched them leave, but I wish I had followed their lead, because I probably would have ended up at Sweet Cakes, which is next door. Some of you think that the manager probably had other things to do, they couldn't possibly help, but that isn't true. I worked in a restaurant for almost 2 years, and during the meal rushes is usually the least busy time for managers, they end up helping out everyone else most of the time. Its toward the ends of the shifts and days that they have a pile-up of managerial duties to take care of. All-in-all, this was just a terrible experience, and I can't see myself returning here when I can guarantee a great lunch experience next door at Sweet Cakes.
Q: negative

A: Are you the type of person that requires being seen in an expensive, overly pretentious restaurant so that you can wear it as a status symbol? Or maybe you're a gansta who dresses like CiLo Green and wants to show the hunny's (yes, a group of them out with one man) a night on the town. Or maybe you are a group of ladies who can't figure out why the Bravo TV Channel passed Charlotte over for the next cast of Real Housewives? If you fall into any of these three categories, this is the joint for you. In all honesty, I have seen all three scenarios mentioned above play out during each of the three times I've been to this restaurant (as for the third scenario, there must have been a Real Housewives convention or something in town...there were no fewer than 5 tables of cougars decked to the 9's trying to impress SOMEone....) The food is good, not great. Their steaks are great cuts of meat, but I can get their roasted chicken off the rotisserie at Harris Teeter, and their fish is always dry. I won't harp on their oysters, as it was out-of-season when I got them, and that's not a fair shake, but still....No Bueno. Go for the top tier steak...steer clear of apps. and other proteins. The service, managers, and hostesses here are all as pretentious as the surroundings. Funny story; my friends got turned away due to the places dress code. They weren't given that reason, but come on...they walked into an empty restaurant, were given elevator eyes by the hostess, and were told that all the empty tables had "reservations attached to them". And we are not talking bums off the street here...this was a Brooks Brothers and TRCW wearin' couple! Bottom line...leave the jeans at home for this place...may even want to throw on a jacket to improve your chances with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates...I mean, the hostess at the podium. Overall, if you feel the need to define your restaurant experience by how much you spend, and the number of "important" people sitting next to you, go here. If you want good food, and don't feel like taking out a second mortgage on your home to enjoy a nice meal, pass on this one. As far as high-end steakhouses go, might I suggest Ruth's Chris (right down the street) or Del Friscos (South Park) as better alternatives to this place? Del Frisco's is my personal choice, due to the fact that I always see Ric Flair here, and he entertains me...WOOOOO!

Answer: Love this place. It's a bit bigger than most of the other capriottis I've been do so I like that. The sandwiches are always solid and the veggie cold turkey is the bees knees. If you're in the are and want to grab a quick bite or heading home and want an easy dinner fix. These guys here will hook it up. Did I mention the kettle chip selection is stellar.

Been meaning to try this place out for a little while now. So after hitting the gym on a Wednesday night, decided ramen was what the tummy craved. Came in about 730ish and the place is tiny. 8 tables and 6 bar seats. It was about half full, was greeted briefly at the door and took a seat. The server offered drinks and then have enough time and space to look over the menu. Most of it sounded line ramen from any of the other ramen place in town. I asked for a suggestion and asked if I like spicy. I do, do I was recommended the karo-miso spicy ramen. Also ordered the Soboro bowl. Both items came out really quick. The bowl was rice with ground meat with onions and scallions. It was tasty. Savory with a touch of sweet. I like spicy food a lot, and many times restaurants that say their food is spicy, it doesn't hit the spot, however this ramen has a good kick. It isn't Hannah or anything, but enough that extra spice isn't necessary. The broth is rich and flavorful, not too salty. The noodle itself has a nice bite to it. Was once told that good ramen should have a elastic spring when you bite it. Which these definitely do. Lastly the prices are decent. Definitely will return. For the location it is in and the size out would be misleading to judge by looks. People were coming and going the last 20+ minutes I've been here.
