Located in a fairly non-descript strip mall along West 11th Avenue, you might not notice The Lava Lounge. Step inside and you'll find really great cocktails, and a fun atmosphere. Check out the drink menu and you'll find some very special concoctions. Their secret ingredient is fantastic fruits that are marinated in quality booze...personal favorite is any kamakazi, but they also mix dynamite margaritas. Ring of Fire Restaurant stands on it's own as a special spot in Eugene. The food is sort of hybrid-Thai (maybe "pan-Asian"?) Love the sweet potato tempura. The hot and sour soup pot was more than enough for two of us to share. Good Pad Thai, yummy peanut sauce. Most items are zesty to really hot & spicy! A friend who does "not do spice" absolutely loves their BBQ chicken. Meals (and drinks) can be a bit on the pricey side. The inside of the place is so much nicer than you'd think from the outside.

I think the helping are a little slim for the price. (I never need a doggy bag). However, the interior is beautifully lit and there are wonderful crunchy chip served before your meal. Having said this is a great place to take a date for a romantic evening. And if you are on a date, maybe the doggy bag issue is a non-issue.
