Thai Siam

Thai Siam,

I think I'm done with you. Your food is good, but your service is truly awful. Last time I dined in, you brought food to the other three people in our party but failed to bring mine until long after they were done eating. I gave you one more chance last night, but waiting nearly an hour for a takeout order is ridiculous and rude. You'll now have one less customer to neglect.

So long.

Cafe Beautiful

You have GOT to give Cafe Beautiful a try. I took my husband there for his birthday last night, and it was a truly amazing experience. Everything from the service to the presentation was phenomenal. And the food : oh my god. My husband actually said this was one of the top five meals of his life. I would have to agree. Definitely the best sushi we've ever had, including trips to both coasts.

The setup for the restaurant is now a fixed menu only. For dinner, this included tea and snacks (assorted crackers), soup (with seafood and noodles), salad, appetizers (dumplings), sashimi (five large pieces), sushi (about six pieces of various styles), and ice cream. It was a lot of food, and it was all expertly prepared. Each dish had layers of flavor, and it was on an entirely different level than the standard fare of most sushi joints. I cannot do it justice with a description.

The liquor policy at the moment is bring-your-own. We brought a bottle of wine, which they gladly served us. At about $40 per person, this is certainly a special occasion place. But when an occasion comes around, I can't think of any place in Lawrence I would rather go.
