"Great food, great menu, great service, great location"
Our reservation was after the lunch rush (1:30 were quickly and cheerfully shown to a table. The first impression was a bit unsavory: One side of our seating, was a long banquette, and our part and the next table had a pretty good dusting of greasy crumbs, which I quickly brushed off before my guest sat on them. As they had only around 3 occupied tables at the time, there is really no excuse for such a slovenly state of affairs. Whomever bussed that table should have seen to those crumbs. Our waitress (also serving as bartender hostess was very friendly and informative regarding the menu. We ordered several plates and shared them, which works well here. Everything we tried was tasty well-sea...
Caveat: My expectations were too high prior to my dining experience. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and welcoming and attentive, no complaints there. The biggest expectation mismatch was in the actual food. The chicken wings were overly sauced and the wings were tiny...essentially you got a mouthful of sweet sauce and little more. The wok charred brussel sprouts were swimming in oil, the veggies themselves were overcooked to the extent there was no green left, only char and yellow, and it was again over sugared and syrupy. I think the concept deserves a greater effort at execution because I think if the restaurant delivered better quality food, the menu is a good one and should ge...
This used to be a wonderful restaurant with a terrific menu. They've slashed the menu and changed the format and to be honest, it sucks. It's all in the small plates style and they've kept a few things from their old menu, but gone from a 6 page menu to less than a page. All of the great dinner items they had are gone. Very little variety. We had drinks and appetizers then left and won't be back. What a shame to ruin what was a wonderful restaurant with such a non-menu. Strongly advise just skipping this and going somewhere else.
Straits has changed to a more casual tapas format. The roti prata is by far the best thin and puffy typical roti that I've had are pancake thick. The garlic noodles were excellent. Honey walnut prawns and the BBQ chicken wings were good too. The lychee mule was yummy !The bar area should be expanded which would be more conducive to the new casual format. The benches and lighting are a bit sterile in the dining area

I used to enjoy dining at Straits, but recently it appears neglected. The bathrooms are in poor condition, giving off a dive bar atmosphere. The floors are littered with trash and are dirty. They really need to make some improvements. I only visit when unable to secure reservations elsewhere, but after experiencing the restroom situation, I don't think I'll be returning.
Great flavors- all the dishes we ordered tasted authentic. The portion sizes were very small for the price points. They should be a bit more generous so that when a family of 4 people orders: 2 appetizers and 4 main dishes, and 2 orders of coconut rice, leave feeling full, not still hungry..
I liked the food that Straits used to have way back in the days when it first opened...I'm assuming it's different owners. The food that I had the other night was good...just different
The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. The char-grilled Brussels sprouts were outstanding!

The restaurant has undergone some changes. The food is no longer as delicious as it once was.
