replying to u/No_Employ1203: I’ve ordered delivery from Thai villa and agree it’s solid. And yeah upscale probably isn’t the right word … looking for something with nice atmosphere and interesting/unique dishes (ie not pad Thai, pad see ew, red curry etc).

replying to u/ecogoth11: UPDATE: I ended up going to Wayla and it was perfect!! It was a pretty cold night, too, and the heat lamps kept us warm the entire time. The tents struck an awesome balance between ventilation and coziness. Really appreciated this rec & recommend to anyone else looking for something like this. We were able to make a reservation for the 'Backyard' through Resy!

replying to u/gtjacket231: There are places with outdoor seating in the back, like Wayla. They have heating lamps that are pretty solid (and also in a tent, which helps).
