5 minute drive. In the Stratford Village shopping center toward the back, we love the food & service here. The dining room is cozy and elegant. Our favorite dessert is the carrot pudding & we add a scoop of vanilla ice cream; if you’ve never tried it, it’s delicious.

We were so excited when this mother and daughter teamed up to open this serene space downtown. Great dumplings & sushi (we love the Reynolds Tower roll). Authentic Thai food with mom in the kitchen. Cozy atmosphere. Big screen TVs and a bar make it a nice spot to watch sports games. We also love the duck. The daughter also makes some delicious cocktails.
