Choose stir-fried meats (beef, chicken, pork, shrimp) and the method of cooking (with basil, ginger garlic, and so on) or opt for a classic green or red curry, pad thai, or shrimp-fried rice.

"The “romantic” setting features “soothing”, nightly live jazz and windows overlooking the courtyard, but since “you pay” for it all, you might want to save it for “important occasions.”"
