WELCOME WAGON
Na Na Thai soft-opens this week, bringing authentic Thai food to Buellton: After living in Bangkok for four years, Ashley and Nik Ramirez missed the food so much that they decided to open a restaurant here—and it’s unlike anything the Santa Ynez Valley has seen before. Plus: The first look at the menu.
