That being said, Wild Ginger has created its own taste sensations, with a liberal use of ginger and other spices. On my first visit I thought the Ginger Salmon seemed like a good bet, serving a local seafood specialty (king salmon) in a way that it is not normally prepared. This turned out to be a memorable meal--one of the best I've ever had.

Service is very good, and Wild Ginger has everything needed to be an upscale restaurant including low lighting and a live band (which was excellent, by the way).

The menu consists of a variety of Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, and other styles of cooking, although I would guess that all of them are Americanized. Go to Wild Ginger for an upscale meal in a nice atmosphere (a good "date" restaurant), or just to enjoy something different. Don't go expecting hard-core, authentic Thai food.
