I just went to this place today and I could not wait to post about it. Kyle and I actually tried to go to the soft open of Olive but they were packed and the woman was actually kind enough to let us know the wait may be too long. I would like to also note that Olive is a BYOB establishment meaning you can bring whatever alcoholic beverage you want and I think that is just neat!
Anyway the story goes, there was another cute diner looking place right across the street from Olive called White Lotus. It is very small, intimate and dive-y inside. The woman who was there was the sweetest, brassiest cook I've encountered. She made slight jokes with everyone who came and most of the people there seemed like regulars. Kyle ordered for both of us and when the woman heard I wanted the number 3 (highly recommend) she said "ohhh yea she wants it spicy". Typically I don't order stuff spicy, that is Kyle's department, so he turned to me and asked if I wanted to get something else. The woman made a face at him and said "oh no she wants that. She turns to me and say "I'll make it a 5" and she gives me a wink. Sure enough it comes out and it is so deliciously spicy and now I'm a total convert. This lady knows best and I loved how she sized me up and gave me what I really needed. It was so goooood. Once again Dayton is blowing me away with another "best" food; this being the best Thai I've ever had! This place also used to be Yummy Burger and in the spirit of the dive-y Burger joint, White Lotus still serves burgers, how great is that! Next time I'll try the burger but I'll be hard pressed because their Thai was great!
