LIBATIONS: Sisters Thai has a full bar and a well-rounded drink menu. The house’s craft cocktails are clever and eye-catching. “Pimm is a Thai’s Name” is a lovely interpretation of a Pimm’s cup, made with ginger, Thai tea and lemon. There are four red wines (including Firesteed Oregon pinot noir), four white wines (including The Ned New Zealand pinot gris) and one rose (French Domaine de Mourchon) available by the glass ($12) and bottle ($45). Nonalcoholic options include lemonades and punches and hot or iced specialty lattes, such as Thai tea latte and white chocolate latte.
SERVICE: Attentive, efficient and friendly
