The hottest place for the young and the trendy to feast, flirt, or just be fabulous is this restaurant/bar adjoining the funky-cool Phoenix Hotel. With a 20-foot reclining Buddha on the roof, ultramodern San Francisco-meets-Southeast Asian decor (including waterfalls in the dining room and outdoor poolside cocktail lounge and salas, Balinese-style outdoor lounge areas by an outdoor pool), very affordable and above-average Southeast Asian cuisine served late into the evening and topping out at $22, and a state-of-the-art sound system streaming ambient, down-tempo, soul, funk, and house music, this is the "it" joint of the moment.
wherever it appears.
