Thai restaurant fulfills smoothie craving

Went to Montien's Inman Square location (www.montiencambridge.com) last night with Drea. It's a new second location for the highly-rated Boston Thai joint. I really like their curries, so it was a little dissapointing when the food wasn't as spicy as it was when we ordered takeout, but all in all it was pretty good. Though perhaps a little lack luster.

Great things.
Pineapple Smoothie - taller than a pilsner glass of what is almost a pineapple lassi
Decor is full of rich reds and dark hardwood

Good things.
Thai Calamari
served with sesame- ginger soy sauce (though it could not compete in portion size to anything an North End restaurant might serve)
Honey Banana - reminded me of mini-turon

Not so great things.
The Pla Kra Pow(Fried Fish Filet Basil) tasted fishy
The Pad Thai (chicken n shrimp) tasted fishy
The ice water had a strange lemon/metallic/minerally finish
