Monsoon

In the winter months this place looks closed for good. Then as the warm weather arrives, people appear on the front patio facing market street. The entrance is hidden on 2nd St. NW and in the winter people are huddled inside the cozy interior where numerous Steve Keene's decorate the walls. Just inside the door we were given two menus and told to find our table. With one waitress catering to all the tables outside and the few inside, this was a necessity. Even with this incredible staff shortage, the service didn't suffer. It is the food at Monsoon that matters anyway. Monsoon tops the other local Thai places. The green curry was sensational; the pad thai is a safe bet. Dinner for two: $45
