If I could use one word to describe Sen Yai Sen Lek ("Sen Yai" for short) it would be friendly.  The next word would have to be awesome.

Mike-the-host may have been the friendliest man who ever lived.  He greeted us at the host stand right as we walked in and luckily we were seated immediately, without a reservation.  Things were off to a great start.

You know the Cheers theme song, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name?"  I'm pretty sure that song was written for our delightful server, Nicole.  Almost everyone dining in the restaurant knew her name and she definitely knew all of theirs.  Her positive, friendly and honest attitude is one of the reasons why I would dine at Sen Yai again.  Since some of us were first time diners, she made sure she knew of any of our diet limitations and explained all of the daily specials as well as what was in the most popular dishes.  She let us in on her menu favorites and also advised us on what we might want to avoid based on our likes/dislikes.  How can you not love that?

On top of the great service we received from our host and server, the owner of the restaurant (Joe) came to greet us at our table and personally thanked us for dining in his restaurant.  Not only did we feel we were welcomed, and that we received great service, but the food was pretty great too.
