It's called Pacific and I took someone out to dinner there last week.  The food was quite good. He had the Pad Thai and I had ... hmm some kind of chicken dish, I can't recall what it was, but I enjoyed it greatly. They feature a varied menu and pretty good portions and serve their iced tea with honey as a sweetener which I'd never tried before and liked.

It was approximately $40 for an appetizer, two entrees, soft drinks/tea and a dessert. The service was outstanding and I really liked the decor. We'll be back.

From the credit card receipt (I'm glad I kept it in my wallet now):

I have absolutely no affiliation with them, I just really enjoyed my evening there. If you like that style of food, I thought it was very good.

Actually, they use both names.  The outside of the restaurant and their business cards use just "Pacific", while the menu and their advertisements have "Pacific Rim".

I ate there a week or so back.  I thought that the food was pretty good, the atmosphere and service were excellent, and the prices were reasonable, depending on what you order.  Their Thai dishes go for about the same price as the more upscale Thai restaurants (e.g., Tara Thai, Busara, etc.), while the Vietnamese dishes are about twice what you would pay in a good Vietnamese restaurant.  This is of course due to the fact that Thai restaurants tend to be overpriced, while Vietnamese restaurants are almost always a bargain.
