Really good brunch in a rustic atmosphere. All of the dishes are really good...but I personally love the croque madame. They also do brunch a bit later than other places on the weekend - I think til 6pm.

One of our fave Thai spots in the area. The tiger steak app is sooo yummy and all of their curries are pretty fantastic. I'm a fan of the masaman and the spicy thai fried rice.
