Absolutely brilliant; short menu with delicious options. The drinks are a little cheeky and clever with flavor to match. Persian cucumbers are light and refreshing; the chicken sandwich has good spice and crunch. Excited to return and try more items!

We sat at the bar so we had great service. The dining area is on the small side. Of course it’s hard to interact with 6 people at the bar, lol. We ordered the whole fish. I think it may have been a special. It was a rock fish, I believe. He ...

Came to Same Same the other night. Mike was awesome in helping me with suggestions on the menu. Great Thai menu options by the way. He was super nice and even hooked it up when someone on accident took my drink. Really appreciate him and the staff for making it right. I will be returning soon.

Small selection of eclectic and flavorful Asian fusion dishes. Amazing drinks, amazing service, and amazing atmosphere! Also, somehow they bring your food and drinks out nearly instantaneously? Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Wow what a unique space to come and enjoy not only an amazing cocktail, but a special plate of food! My wife and I went on a spontaneous date night and were blown away by our experience here. The atmosphere is very inviting and awesome. There is plenty to look at all around you and the food is amazing! We got the potatoes and samosa wontons and they were DELCIOUS! You can’t go wrong with popping in even if it is for a quick drink and appetizers, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
