Land used to be a tiny gem of a place with assertively spiced Thai food and a long wait. The staff would take your cell phone and direct you next door to the Dead Poet, which is a tiny gem of a bar. Unfortunately, success seems to have gone to its head. Not only is the food not as consistent as it used to be (the spring rolls, for example, were soggy and rather bland on my last visit), the wait has become entirely unreasonable. 45 minute waits regularly drag on much, much longer, and the staff seems to be entirely incapable of managing the crowds. With other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood which are also inexpensive and delicious, there's no need to put up with attitude and rudeness.
