2006-10-05 11:16:40   I was going to go for dinner the other night but got scared away because it appeared that all seating was up a flight of stairs and I'm currently on crutches. Turns out there is some seating on the main level. Anyway, I ended up getting take-out last night and it was great. I can't wait to actually eat there some night! —RachelBlumenthal

2006-10-09 07:13:27   As noted above, the decor is delightful (the owner proudly told us his wife decorated the place). When we turned to the menu I immediately noticed was much smaller that all other Thai restaurants I have been to, but as the meal progressed it became clear that they excelled at all of the items on the small list. The crispy squid appetizer was wonderful, with full pieces of squid rather than the mound of rings you normally get in a restaurant, and came with some pickled veggies on the side. The fried tofu was well executed but not to our liking. Next came the coconut soup which had a delicate flavor and a thicker consistency than others. The curry was the star of the show with a blend of perfectly crisp fresh vegetables, intricate spices and broth. My only complaint was spoty service, though the servers were all trying very hard (and they had two flights of stairs to contend with!). Siam has only been open for one week and think the service will get better with time. —EllenKelsey


2006-10-25 18:11:40   I agree with Ellen's review—great decor and small menu but excellent food. The service was great when I was there. The food came out within minutes of ordering it. I ordered the Beef Salad, which was covered with a very nice blend of herbs and spices. BenMargolis got the jungle shrimp dish and it was excellent. My only complaint is that it was difficult to find parking. There was plenty all the way across the street at Nathaniel's, but I didn't want to hobble that far on my crutches :) Anyway, the restaurant is off to an excellent start. I'd like to see an expanded menu over time, but for now, what they have is great. I'll definitely be back. —RachelBlumenthal

I was soooo happy to find a good one here. The restaurant is chic and cute, but affordable, and the service was excellent. The presentation of the food was great, too. Overall, definitely a quality dining experience! Highly recommended. —DulcineaEsq


2007-02-06 15:15:54   Had a nice meal here last weekend. The decor is very modern and well-thought-out. Little design details like the uneven bars along the stairs, and the uniquely shaped serving plates added visual interest to the surroundings. My panang curry with tofu was well done, with firm vegetables, a fragrant sauce, and lightly-fried tofu. My companion's dish of beef with veggies and basil was nicely spiced and delicious. Our entrees were a little less spicy (in terms of heat) than we have had before. Siam doesn't use the star-system that other Thai restaurants like Esan and Pattaya. Don't take this to mean that our dishes were mild though - there were plenty of other flavors going on in place of the heat. Looks like Wayne Luong can't miss. —EastSideStephen
