Jakewalking to Thai food

Came here with my groupon deal of cheese fondue (5 yr. Cheddar & Cave-Aged Swiss blend with Apple, Salami, Bread to dip) & ordered a La Peral cheese (Fudgy, eggy, custard-like cow's and sheep's milk, Asturias, Spain - not a cheese connoisseur...but sure tasted deliciously salty)
delicious blue cheese
Everything was good from food to service, and it's a great place to stop by for an appetizer/snack while chatting for hours. The decor is bar-like but also homey that it'd make my neighborhood favorite..if I lived there. 
the apple for dip was very unique, the swiss + cheddar combo gave a bold&tangy taste
I had no complaints and will comeback to pair a cheese board with a glass of wine. I approve of their beautifully printed menus too.

Btw, the neighborhood (Caroll Gardens) has some quirky restaurants. We also stopped by a thai restaurant called HopHap (from someone's review on Yelp I learned that the name came from the two children of the owners, Hop and Hap). Their interior is unique and we went in for an early snack-dinner. Their pad thai was delicious but pad see ew was on the salty side.
