    We’ve driven by this restaurant 9,000 times but never stopped. Such a pleasant surprise. The hostess seated us as soon as she could even though the place was slammed for Valentines Day. The menu was fixed, but the food was absolutely fantastic and probably the best Italian food I’ve had in this area. Our server was super nice and didn’t rush us, and checked in often. We got the mushroom ravioli with beef, and the cream sauce was done perfectly (hats off to the chefs). 10/10. We will be back!

    Mike's never disappoints! We had dinner there this week to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Everything was so delicious, from the bread all the way to our cannolis. The spaghetti that went with my meal was obviously homemade and was just to die for. It was cooked perfectly. Chloe, our server, was the best! She really did an outstanding job.

    Excellent, tasty Thai food in a clean, spacious, attractive setting. The staff are accommodating and friendly. I had the House Special Curry (with shrimp & scallops). It was delicious but mild, so I added some hot sauce to kick it up. My spouse had the Khao Pad Poo (Crabmeat Fried Rice). It is a solid choice with good crab flavor in every bite. Our dinner companion had the Larb Duck Salad: ground duck meat and other yummy things on a bed of lettuce. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes! Recommended.

    Maekha Thai has great food (scallion pancakes and wings are awesome!), great abience, and a proud owner to match. Chef Lou was friendly, inviting and had a great sense of humor. He truly loves what he does and making his customers happy. On the contrary, the waitress and hostess were a bit too serious and not as personable. Other than that, the food was good, the experience was great and I will definitely be back.
