•Description: Serving up contemporary Thai cuisine in a lounge bar-style setting, this venture has transcended the difficult-to-conquer problem of the restobar — finding the right balance between the needs of the diners and those of the drinkers.  

•That they’re trying to strike this balance says much about the ambition of this venture. With possibly only a handful of other venues truly managing to fit into the restobar theme — the beer clubs are no more than glorified quan nhau — not only have they entered an untested realm, but they have created for themselves a double challenge. Both the food and the drink must be top-notch.
