Sea is known just as much for its wild Zen-inspired disco décor (complete with an in-ground pool watched over by a golden Buddha) as it is for its fiery Thai fare. Often crowded and loud, with fast servers who are interested in turning tables, Sea is not a peaceful place to dine, but it is a tasty one. The menu includes dishes like whole red snapper, rice paper-wrapped spring rolls, and a fun list of desserts like the crispy banana with green tea ice cream. The cocktail list guarantees a hangover with easy-to-imbibe drinks like the spicy pineapple-ginger martini.
