First visit: Oct 2018
As noted before, we got shut out at Thai Spice for Thai New Year. We had intended to go back there this night when we remembered Thai Cuisine II. The difference? The latter serves beer and wine. It's dinner time and that's what we want! So this is our second visit, both since we moved back to Colorado. Mrs. RJG had the red curry, which has more of a coconut base than she's used to but she still stated it was excellent. I had my usual Thai Basil with ground chicken and a fried egg. And it's a menu item! No having to ask for special consideration. I only went with hot because we'd been eating super spicy all week, but I could definitely have gone to Thai Hot. They have the usual disclaimers and warnings about such things, but my palate is ready (in fact, on our first visit, I did have Thai Hot and my note says it was "very hot"). The dish overall is very delicious and craveable. Better - unfortunately - than anything I can get here in the Springs. We started with (doing this backwards I see...) the Butterfly Shrimp. It was... just OK. Too breaded and not cooked to perfection. We'll get something else next time. The wine glasses are on the chintzy side, so I recommend sticking to beer, which will come from a bottle or a can. Service on this visit was exemplary. For my tastes, I'd rather come here than Thai Spice, but we'll see what Mrs. RJG recommends next year.
