This is a great place! The owner plays equal parts bartender, server, and host. The other servers are very nice and seem to love their job. Being from NYC, I have yet to take this for granted. ;-) The 1/3lb burger with jack cheese and fries ($7) is excellent. It's great fun to draw on the butcher-paper-covered tables with crayons (not as ghetto as it sounds). They have live bands later in the evening.

The patio is a real crowd-pleaser, complete with SWINGS instead of chairs and a FLAMING FIRE PIT in the middle of the table! Surprisingly, no one got hurt. The fire was perfect for fending off Portland's chill air. All they need now is a trampoline. Be warned, the patio seats are quite popular.

Great Thai! As one reviewer noted, many of the ingredients are typical of Chinese food (baby carrots) but they still tasted great. I definitely appreciated the extra variety. I love mushrooms and many of their dishes feature several different kinds. Presentation was great. Service was amazing. I also loved the soup samples.
