LIMITLESS: Banana Blossom Thai Restaurant

Over the past weekend, my girl Mela and I cashed in our Groupon purchase for Banana Blossom Thai Restaurant, located in the up and coming Glenview District of Oakland. The area is so cute, not too busy but definitely not dull, and its perfectly situated next to plenty different cafes, boutique shops and other interesting "open late" restaurants in the area.

Our Groupon was $12 and we were able to redeem it for $25 worth of food! Steal!

We started with appetizers, which were amazing. I (Sade) ordered the Shrimp Rolls and Mela ordered the Angel Wings...we were extremely satisfied with both of the flavor packed appetizers!

We hate to say that the entrees weren't to our liking, and its weird because we absolutely loved the appetizers and the Thai Ice Teas, but the food was definitely unexpectedly unsatisfying. Maybe we had high hopes because the appetizers were great!

My (Sade) Entree

We are in no way saying that the cooks at Banana Blossom aren't talented, or that their food is not appetizing. Where Banana Blossom goes wrong is their menu. The menu did not describe the entrees effectively enough. I (Sade) expected a platter of meat with a few sides, and Mela expected her noodles to be spicy...(after all, the name of the entree is Spicy Crab Noodles). Neither of us finished our entrees, which is totally not so of foodies like us, who can always find the good in any meal!

The setting inside Banana Blossom is so romantic. Its perfect for couples and a fun 'girlfriends night out'. They have succeeded in creating a relaxed, comfortable and cool ambiance that most restaurants lack!

After dinner, we strolled around the Glenview area and snapped a view shots! We hope you love it!

Sorry for the pic quality

I made a little friend...random guy wanted to be in one of our pics! I told him he'd have to sign a consent form another time, because I'm posting the pic on my blog!

He said "oh my word ya puttin me on the world wide web" Hehe! He was so cute!
