This attractive Thai restaurant is a couple of blocks from the village's tourist crush--far enough to ensure effortless parking. The lunch crowd consists of shoppers and curious tourists, while dinner is quieter; all the local businesses have shut down. The food is excellent, with polished presentations and expert renditions of the classics like pad Thai, satay, curry, and glazed duck. The starters often sound as good as the entrees: Consider making a grazing meal of house specialties like "gold bags" (minced pork, vegetables, glass noodles, and herbs wrapped in crispy rice paper and served with earthy plum sauce) or prawns with yellow curry lobster sauce; crispy calamari is flavored with tamarind sauce and chile sauce. The romantically lit covered front patio has a secluded garden feel, and inside tables also have indirect lighting. Despite the passage of time, this all-around satisfier remains something of an insider's secret.
Main courses $8-$13.Open: Mon-Thurs 11am-3pm and 5-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-3pm and 5-11pm; Sun 5-10pm.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, MC, V.Bus: 34.
