I am a big fan of Thai food so I was excited when Sawadee opened - but I must say, both experiences have been extremely disappointing. The first time I dined at Sawadee my party was seated promptly, but it took the server 10 minutes to come over and take our drink orders (which were never refilled). The restaurant had just opened and it was pretty busy so I gave them a break. Last weekend by boyfriend and I decided to give it another shot. There were several open tables for two, but we were seated in the front of the restaurant adjacent to a bench where patrons who were waiting to be seated were naturally going to sit. This in and of itself was ridiculous and my appetite was fading as patron after patron sat down - the back of their head only mere inches from me. But the ultimate downfall was when I realized that a table of 6 that had been seated 20 minutes after us had already received their food. We had received one beverage each with no one in sight to offer us a refill. An hour passed and our food never came - so we grabbed another server (ours was no where to be found) and asked for our order to be cancelled so we could pay for our drinks and go somewhere else. Of course, immediately after that request our food came but neither of us were in any mood to eat, what with four women crammed on a bench right next to us, flipping their hair around. The manager never offered an apology and nothing was done to try and rectify our situation. We will never dine at Sawadee again. The food is nothing special (if you even get it) and the service is horrendous. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Cons: Service, Food
