Best Restaurants for Groups in Downtown

The bartender was absolutely amazing and the drinks he prepared were works of art. Can’t wait to go back

I chose this restaurant simply because the description sounded interesting to me. We wanted to eat out for Thanksgiving and the more traditional places were either closed or closed to further reservations. There were some TG-ish options available, but we decided to go Asian for the meal. We had the Seven Elements soup (a Thai take on chicken noodle soup with a curry flavor and crunchy noodles on top) as the starter, the Green Curry Chicken, and the Assam Prawns. Everything was delicious! I was impressed that the last section of the shell had been removed from the prawn while leaving the tail in place. The restaurant sits on the corner of 3rd and Union, but the entrance is farther down 3rd Ave than I expected. Signage on the sidewalk or hanging above the sidewalk would be helpful. We found a parking lot about a half-block away; evening parking rate was $10.

We went there for the first time on Thanksgiving and had a great experience. The food, service and atmosphere were just what we hoped for. This will be our go to place for special occasions in the future. Highly recommended.

Ben Paris was great, but Open Table dropped the Ball. Not just for me, people on both sides of me had made a reservation for the Thanksgiving Meal. We all found out that we could not have our traditional meal, it didn't start until the evening, and they were sold out. I was lucky to find a place that I could still get in for my Turkey and Stuffing and all the things I had been looking forward too! Rich VanGogh

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent with great service and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Price the food before you go so you are not surprised by the bill. The quality of the food was worth the money for us. But it will be a dinner to save for.
