Galangal Thai Cuisine Incorporated, Ponte Vedra Beach

I agree on all of the above and I have two more comments to add: Our waitress, Sarah, was very nice to get all the information we needed about a dish I was about to order( as I am allergic to some ingredients). However, the male host (greeter) was very snooty and rude. After we were seated, we are pleasantly given the menu by our waitress. As we were looking through the menu book, the snooty host came to our table and without saying a word, took each of our folded napkins and placed on each on our laps to our dismay!!!! How rude! We had been to a lot of flashier, fanciest restaurants all over the country and we have never seen this happen to us! This place just lost a valued customer and the experience will be passed on.

My wife and I went with my grandmother to Galangal Thai restaurant on August 4, 2007. The decor was very modern and sleek. The food was good, but the prices were too high ($23 for Pad Thai, the cheapest thing on the menu) and the host and waitress annoyingly tried to act more sophisticated and elegant than they were. When the host seated us, he handed us our menus, then said, "And for the most *important* part of your meal, here is the wine list." I don't need him to tell me what the most important part of my meal is. (I hardly ever drink, and the wines were _very_ expensive.) When my grandmother asked our caucasian waitress what Pad Thai is, the waitress said, "Oh, it's really nothing special. It's just noodles with soy sauce, and some protein added if you want." We couldn't believe our ears, since Pad Thai is the pride of Thai Cuisine. We ordered it anyway, and the waitress responded with "Really?!". The food was excellent, served on very fancy china with fancy utensils and a real orchid on every dish. Still, I don't think it's worth the price. By the way, the restaurant's correct address is: 145 Hilden Road Ponte Vedra, FL (not "Nocatee, FL", as given in the Yahoo Local listing as of this writing). The listed telephone number, 904-827-1150, is, however, correct.
