Amazing food, terrific waiter. Frustrated that although we booked standard tables they insisted on seating us at a high table which didn't work for my elderly parents. The low tables remained open until 5 minutes before we left. Not great.

A week ago, I got to check out this really great Laotian restaurant/bar conveniently located on Piedmont Ave in Oakland. I overheard a colleague mention that they were a mixologist here and after a mutually rough day at work- another colleague and I decided to check it out for happy hour. Did I mention Happy Hour is everyday from 5-8 pm (only at the bar) with it's own bar menu alongside the restaurant menu?

We were pleasantly surprised as we walked in-...

Very comfortable locally-owned restaurant. They were decorated for Halloween. We didn't have a reservation, but we're early enough for them to accommodate our group of 7. Food was delicious - I recommend the Lao appetizer platter, especially for a large group, and the duck over garlic rice was delicious!
