I generally like the food there, the service is very good, and the ambiance is relatively warm and quiet. While it may not be "authentic" Thai food, I rather like what I'd term their California Thai cuisine. While the prices are a bit steep, I find it's worth it from time to time.

We have savoured Kelly (Metairie native) and spouse Bank's restaurant since they started in Metairie about 10 years ago. When we return to N'awlins, it is our one "must do" restaurant. The service complements the sublime, distinctive Thai cuisine. Fresh ingredients contribute to alive flavors, and Bank brings back selected spices and seasonings from his native Thailand. A meal of multiple appetizers is a very good idea, but save room for dessert (e.g., sticky rice). Not typical N'awlins fare, but worthy of a cherished place amid the haute cuisine. As info, we lived in N'awlins for 5 years and were inveterate, assiduous fine diners... Basil Leaf ALWAYS impresses new friends/guests. Our college-age prodigy progeny have also loved it for years.
