Oct. 5, 2008 From Yelp.com: I've been here about 3 times. It's a beautiful space. They have an ambitious morning coffee-bar to dinner menu that is curiously missing oysters given it's an oyster bar. From day 1, they have…

Oct. 4, 2008 From Yelp.com: A solid 4 stars. Good Thai food, fresh ingrediants, and lots to choose from. Recommend not sitting near the window unless you want people waiting at a bus stop looking at your food.

Oct. 4, 2008 From Yelp.com: A little off the beaten track . . . which is huge + as you'll want to claim this neighborhood bar for yourself. Comfy private booths with bell service, exquisitely moody low lights, smart decor,…

Oct. 2, 2008 From Yelp.com: I miss the old Eat Records. The tables were mismatched, the menu stayed the same, and the food was cheeaaap. Sometime in Spring they fancied the place up and now the menu changes daily. Great if…
