10/10 as always. Kapitan is the most authentic Singaporean/malay food I’ve had outside of Singapore and Malaysia. Never disappoints.

My husband and I tried Serai for the first time this week. The food and service were absolutely top-notch. This is not your typical spicy, street Thai food. Some dishes do offer zip, but this chef is all about nuanced flavor and texture combinations. I had the wild mushrooms in a coconut lemongrass curry = YUM! My husband had the garlic shrimp, also delicious. The cocktails are out-of-this world. Do yourself a favor, and take your sweetheart here for a special occasion. We will be back with friends and family soon! They have a separate room that looks like it will seat 20-25. I would love to see them add some local artists' work to their walls and work on consider playing some more interesting music. I would love to hear our talented local bands! Whiskey Thief, The Monarch, and The Whirling Tiger are just three of the venues showcasing a variety of talented locals with a range of genres.
