Great thai place. Good food, expansive menu.

My new husband and I saw a decent Railroad Earth show here on our honeymoon. This venue had its good points; there's several tiers for good visibility, and solid sound quality, and friendly bartenders. The bathrooms are great - clean and spacious, with vibrant wall colors. But though we had a good time overall, we found ourselves with more complaints than compliments about the venue itself. This would be a much more positive review if the drinks were not vastly overpriced. Calling an $11 beer a "special" highlights this problem; $11 is wayyyyy too much for any beer. Yeah, it's what you'll pay at a bigger venue, but this is not a bigger venue (though they seem to believe they are, what with the bag checks & the wristbands & the no re-entry policy). And the local amphitheater's outrageous beverage tolls don't justify this venue's pricing. Furthermore, the security people barely tolerated the crowd. There was nowhere to sit except for a VIP area, so their overzealous need to discipline the customers for just leaning on surfaces two hours into a three hour event is unreasonable. Their ambition to keep things from getting rowdy in general did not create a good atmosphere for a concert. While we did have fun, it would have taken a lot to make the first night of our honeymoon not fun. We're planning on a visit to another Fillmore in January, so it's not like they ruined our night. If there were an option for 2.5 stars, I'd go up a bit. But we've experienced better.

I just moved to the neighborhood, and I LOVE this place. In fact, I should probably give it 5 stars, but I haven't had the sushi there yet. I always get a rice bowl, and the crispy tofu is delicious! I've also had the salmon, and I thought the flavor was great, but the portion was a little small. My favorite thing on the menu is the red curry crab bisque soup, which is out of this world! (I just wish they had a smaller portion that wasn't $5 because I feel like I end up buying 2 dinners). We tried the rice krispies rolled in ice cream for dessert, and I didn't think that was all that great - it sounds better on the menu than it actually is. You won't be disappointed here.
