Fodor's Review:
If you're looking for homey Vietnamese food served in a down-to-earth dining room, don't stop here. Celebrated chef-owner Charles Phan has mastered the upmarket, Western-accented Vietnamese menu. To showcase his cuisine, he chose a big space with sleek wooden tables and chairs, white marble floors, a cocktail lounge, a bar, and an enviable bay view. Among his popular dishes are green papaya salad, wood oven-roasted whole fish with ginger sauce, and shaking beef (tender beef cubes with garlic and onion). To avoid the midday and evening crowds, stop in for the afternoon-tea menu (spring rolls, grilled pork over rice noodles), or visit Out the Door, Phan's take-out counter around the corner from the restaurant. Alas, the crush of fame has also brought some ragged service.

Nouveau Vietnamese in a Ultra Modern Setting
Posted by artlover from Seattle on 11/18/07
I was surprised with the other reviews of this restaurant. I thought the atmosphere, modern and sleek on the water, was very nice and I didn't find it overly loud. I only had the noodles and crab and eggplant as a side, but thought both dishes were good and reasonably priced.
