my, my, my... a lucky find!. my husband and i went to coconut thai grill the other night, and it was extremely pleasant. the environment looked very nice, not too bright or too dark. the paintings and the decor were very unique. i was told the painted and made everything themselves. what a group of talented people! the wait staff was very friendly and helpful but not subservient... which was quite refreshing to us.
the highlight however had to be the food! we wanted to try something new that we could not find at other places. so our waitress suggested that we try coconut chicken, an original dish of grill chicken meat marinated with coconut milk and thai spices. it came with this "sticky" rice, which we had not had before. we thought the chicken was one of tastiest thai dishes we had ever eaten! another dish we had was hawaiian chicken, battered chicken meat stir fried with sweet pineapple sauce. it tasted very very delicious... slightly... (only slightly) similar to orange chicken but not as sweet or orangey.
we capped off our meal with their house special desserts as well... some green tea cake and a thai custard cake with sweet sticky rice. both were delicious. we really liked the green tea cake because it wasn't very sweet. the texture was very nice. anyway... it was a wonderful experience for us. we are eagerly looking forward to going back to coconut thai grill to try something else new and original.
