Oh my, I took the plunge and went on a Friday evening. There were only about four tables filled, but it took a good 40 minutes before my entree appeared, and we weren't even the last of the four seated (and there were 3 waitstaff). Very frustrating. The place was oh-so-cold, and dark, very dark. So dark that, if you ask, they will provide you with a flashlight to read your menu. And it's a pretty small menu. The usual curries, fried rice but no pad thai. Entrees in the $17-25 range. For 2 entrees, 2 appetizers & fried rice, it was about $80. I thought that was pricey for what we received.
Dishes were small portions served on huge plates. I ordered the sesame crusted salmon. It was served over a bed of zucchini which was warm on the inside, cool on the outside (from sitting around too long?). It was okay, nothing to write home about. Fried rice was good, nothing unusual.
I don't know what they're going for here, really. The place seems to be beautifully decorated, why not turn the lights up so we can see it (and the menu)? If the chef is having issues serving 4 tables in a timely manner, what is the place like if/when it gets crowded? Am not optimistic about it's future.

Been thinking about trying but a Thai place with no pad thai seems a bit ill-conceived and from your report will pass for now.

We had a late (9:45 p.m.) diner there on Saturday. Very nice wait staff. They are still waiting for a liquor license, but liquor store is a block away, and they said they'd even run to the bodega to get beer etc for a customer (at customer's expenses,
DH had duckrolls, and I had a sort of deconstructed Thai soup with chicken and coconut milk. We split lobster and seafood entree. We liked everything, although menu said the entre was served with curry rice, and it was served with jasmine rice.
I'll definitely go back. Looks like they have a nice lunch menu too.
But I agree. I wish they had pad Thai as it's my favorite!

Not to sound mean, but is anyone else think this fusion stuff has gone a little overboard in the WP area? Why can't we just have a good strictly Thai restaurant (one that serves Pad Thai under the $15 price range..or in this restaurants case, just serve it)? Better yet, if anyone wants to 'fuse' something, why not Thai and Vietnamese...that would at least fill some needs.
I swear, one more Japanese/Chinese/Indian/Thai fusion 'wanna be' good food at outrageous prices will be the death of us all. It's actually cheaper to jump on the Metro north and have Thai in the city than to order second rate, small portion, bad atmosphere food in White Plains. Just my two (three) cents.
