In the Lakeview neighborhood is the funky, futuristic Sura Thai Bistro—a swanky Thai eatery from New York restaurateurs Spice Group (Thai Urban Kitchen). Sura is completely captivating, painted in a clean, neat white with splashes of radiant, intermixed color offering a simple décor at first glance that gains sophistication in the end. Sura’s menu reflects the restaurant’s shape, extending the entire repertoire from the savory traditional Thai cuisine all the way to the wild and creative Japanese sushi and maki. To top it off, try an array of dessert items in which you can enjoy such wonderfully rich flavors as the golden banana (flash-fried with coconut ice cream) or the molten chocolate cake (gooey, like it should be). Pair anything with a red and white wine or a traditional sake from their full bar to enhance what already is the ultimate experience. Sura Thai Bistro is sure to provide a dazzling evening for all of your senses.
