NORTHEAST HEIGHTS--Using the Entertainment Book is always a gamble. Sure, there are a lot of bargains and a lot of restaurants to choose from...but many times the eateries close before you even get there. I guess advertising in the book is sort of admitting that you don't have as many customers as you would like. Such was the case Friday night when my girlfriend MaryAnn and I decided to use the coupon to a wonderful restaurant we had visited last year: Thai Pepper. It has closed, and the new restaurant, called the Thai Tip, was not accepting the coupons to the old place.
We sat down anyway. For one thing, you can get almost anything on the 7 page menu for $6.95. Also the owner, a really affable guy named John, seemed so earnest in his insistence that we would indeed enjoy our meal. He even talked us into getting their special tea--John's Tea. We did enjoy our meals, especially the red curry with chicken, bamboo shoots, coconut milk, fresh basil, and kefir leaves. John's tea was as he stated: zesty and somewhat sweet. I have no idea what it contained.
We will return. Thai Tip is located on Wyoming and Constitution NE.
