"Titaya’s straddles a middle ground between classic Thai staples (like tom yum, pad see ew, and pad ka prao) and fusion-y creations (think fried polenta crab cakes with sweet corn). We like some of the contemporary dishes, but Titaya’s is at its best with the classics. Start with a fire pot of tom kha, order some pad see ew with large, perfectly cooked shrimp, and grab some fried rice to share with the table. The dining room is semi-dark and cozy, but with plenty of space—it’s just upscale enough to make Titaya’s fitting for a casual-ish date night, but not so relaxed that you should show up in sweats (unless you’re getting takeout)." - nicolai mccrary
