The opening of Chef Jar Primo's Café de Thai (420 W. Cypress St., Kennett Square) has created much excitement among (1) people who like Thai food, (2) people who like to try new restaurants and (3) curious people who want to see what all the buzz is about.
Tilda, who belongs to all three categories, and her Dearest Partner stopped in for dinner on Wednesday, March 27. We got there at 6:15 and a half-hour later, every table was filled. I'm told the owners had no idea so many people would show up during the first few weeks.
As is perfectly normal at a brand-new establishment, things were a little hectic. It took a while for our food to arrive -- again, totally expected -- but when it did it was memorable. The won ton soup was delicious and full of garlic and the yellow curry with seafood, onions, and peppers had an astonishing mixture of complex flavors.
The restaurant is BYOB (we saw several people with wine and beer), and our fellow diners included everyone from little kids to young couples to grandparents.
On our way out we thanked the staff, wished them well and assured them we would be back soon!
By the way, don't park at the Wawa next door. The poor Wawa delivery guy had to come over to the restaurant and ask the driver of a black GMC pickup to move because he couldn't maneuver his tractor-trailer into the lot. And along Garfield Street, every on-street parking space was taken almost south to Mulberry Street. The neighbors must wonder what's going on.
