Reka's Thai Restaurant
Delicately carved fruit sculptures, recipes from Thai royalty and subtle seasonings define the dining experience at Reka's. Build your appetite with a brisk walk through the sculptures in Tibbits Park, just across the street, before your table reservation time. The restaurant does not provide chopsticks or knives, instead it cuts food into bite-size portions in authentic Thai cooking style. Familiar Thai dishes, Reka's own seafood basket with cellophane noodles and vegetarian options complete the menu.
