The ambience of the entire restaurant belies the mall plaza look of Lafayette Center, where you can find Manee Thai. It is not far from Manchester Road, but doesn't face out so may be tricky to locate. Once you're inside and amongst wonderful staff, great food, and a warm atmosphere it is worth the wait and the money. I arrived with over 10 people and we all received our meals at the same time and they weren't incorrect or cold. They were hot and tasty. Manee Thai is a St. Louis Thai restaurant #1 pick, according to St. Louis Riverfront Times. If I had $20 to ""burn"" on food, I would jet straight to Manee Thai and sip some Thai ice team with Panang Curry or a big bowl of Duck Noodle Soup.
Pros: Delicious menu, savory drinks, excellent service, good value
Cons: Coat racks could be in a convenient location, magazines could be in outer entrance area
