Olay’s Thai-Lao Cuisine. -large and beautiful venue -byob -huge menu -items labeled vegan. -wish for more flexibility (spring rolls and peanut sauce) -lacks vegan appetizers -reservations are encouraged through resy -Summer rolls: not worth it unless it had a vegan peanut sauce :/ -vegan Panang (peanut curry ironically): wife likes it, i dont think it stacks up to most if not all of the panangs i’ve tried on island that i’ve tried so far. -vegan pad se-ew: underwhelming....

Love the outdoor patio seating and koi pond/fountain. Great service. Enjoyed the food overall but found the Tom Yum soup a bit 'flat'. Didn't have the tamarind tang we expected. Vegan options available. Lychee lemonade was refreshing and delicious.
