Tommy's Thai is the best Thai restaurant I have ever eaten at. And I've been to several as Thai is one of my favorites. The atmosphere at Tommy's Thai is one of cool sophistication. It is newly remodeled and very modern and clean. The staff is all super friendly (and Thai). I have yet to order something that I didn't like. The Tom Kha Gai soup in particular is fantastic.

Tommy's Thai also offers every dish available in a variety of meat and vegetarian options. Nearly every dish on the menu can be made with any (even combinations) of the following: chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, vegetables, and tofu. I love it when there are options - especially when the options are on every selection. Most dishes also come custom spiced: mild, medium, hot, thai hot. They even bring you your own spice try so you can add more if you'd like.

Parking may be a bit of an issue, but it's worth the walk (if you have to park down the block). If you're ever within a 50 mile radius, I recommend you stop by Tommy's Thai. It will be worth your drive.

Old Stone Church in Castle Rock

Old Stone Church
4.5

Day: Wednesday, 7:00pm
Server: Daniel

Jonathan took me here to celebrate my earning my Masters Degree. Old Stone Church in Castle Rock, Colorado is a fabulous restaurant. I'd love to give it a 5. The only reason I'm choosing not to is because they offer no vegetarian dinner options. The food is fantastic. One of the highlights is actually the flatbread with chimichurri dipping sauce that they bring out. We'd love to buy a gallon of that sauce. We also liked the grilled brie appetizer so much that we attempted to make it ourselves at home. Jonathan ordered the special that night (a tuna steak over rice and shrimp and avocado with an excellent sauce). And I had the New York Strip with poblano potatoes, and covered in a bit of gorgonzola and a few fried onions. The steak was perfectly cooked to my request.

The absolute best part of the entire meal was dessert. We ordered the "flourless chocolate mousse oblivion cake". This cake was so good that it actually did obliviate my mind. I've never tasted something so good before. I can't wait to go back.

Please, definitely go to Old Stone Church as soon as you possibly can. It's well worth whatever drive you have to make to get there.
