    We had a great first experience at Thattu! We had the Short Rib curry, Lunar New Year Special, Fried Chicken bites, and fish in banana leaves. Everything was delicious. The space is very industrial-looking in pictures, so I was expecting it to be loud and drafty, but the temperature was pleasant and acoustics were good. I love their ordering system - you send the order to the kitchen through a QR code and they bring it out. The servers are still very attentive and happy to answer questions, but you don't have to flag them down to order a second drink. Win/win! I didn't realize at first that they have a no tip/no service fee model, so I was a little confused at the end when there was no option to tip, but apparently they build service into the cost of menu items and just pay their servers well. Big fan of that! Everything was very well-executed. I will return soon with friends so we can try more dishes!

    The Coach House provides invariably inventive and unusual riffs on South Asian cuisine in an informal setting. We have visited several times -- some dishes remain constant, but most are new. Each dish in the tasing menu is more surprising and interesting than the last.
