Best Thai in town! I recommend ordering your dish ‘mild’ because they DO NOT hold back when it comes to spicing things up! 🥵 This spot is tiny as well and usually has a wait during peak dining hours so I would get there earlier to grab a table.

My absolute FAVORITE Italian place to go eat $1 oysters during Happy Hour! They have HH everyday from 3-6pm and 9-11pm. Amazing deals. Insanely delicious food. I recommend the raw oysters of course, the chargrilled oysters, the mussels with chorizo, the balsamic glazed ribs melt in your mouth, most of the pasta is homemade and the pizza is thin crust and yummy! I HIGHLY recommend eating here ❤️
