I headed to Siam Lotus for dinner one night after reading the rave reviews posted on City Search, and I was disappointed:\r
\r
1. The hostess said that the waiting time was around 15-20 minutes, but I didn't get seated until 45 minutes later.\r
2. The server was far from being attentive. She took the order without writing it down and didn't get the order right. She was too busy attending to the table next to mine that she forgot about me.\r
3. The food was below average: far from being authentic Thai and bland. The tom yum soup tasted heavily of fish sauce and nothing else, while the eggplant dish was swimming in oil. \r
4. The cook didn't make the noodle dish spicy as ordered. When the server took the noodle dish back to the kitchen, the cook deliberately made the dish too spicy to eat (it was as if he dumped the entire chili powder on it).\r
5. Siam Lotus Thai Restaurant is terribly overpriced considering the quality of food and service.\r
\r
I was, however, pleased with the busboy. He always walked around asking if people needed extra rice and refilling your drink.\r

Pros: The busboy / Server Assistant provides better service than the server
Cons: Bad food, bad service, terrible cook
