Just went to Thai Tom for the first time. Impressive! It was busy, but not packed for lunch. The ambiance is underrated! The gold/bronze walls are very cool, and the subtle, tasteful artwork add to the overall happenin' feel. It was very cool to watch our food cooked for us! My only complaint would be that the waiter was in so much of a hurry (despite the fact that it's a low-maintenance service type of place with very few tables) that each time he approached and asked us a question, he would be off to another table before we'd even completed our answers! Communication was difficult. I would rather see wait staff that's efficient AND friendly rather than staff that sacrifices the quality of guest interactions to rush the food out (we weren't in a rush). Yet, the food and ambiance outweighed that con.
Pros: Great Food, Hip Atmosphere, Open-Air Kitchen
Cons: Rushed Service, Unfriendly Waiter
