Fancy some Thai food? Then you’ve got to check out Red Torch Ginger! Their Five Spice Calamari, Phad Khee Mao, and Garlic & Pepper Chicken were absolutely packed with flavor. We savored every bite! Plus, it was my hubby’s birthday, and they surprised us with a mini cake and a Happy Birthday song. The chef was so kind, Roy & the staff were super friendly, and the vibe? Just perfect!

Walters describes itself as a café bar, and we were content to be seated in the busy area near the bar surrounded by happy diners on Valentine's night. We enjoyed a three course dinner at a reasonable price, then danced the night away to a pair of excellent musicians at no extra charge.
