                <description><![CDATA[Spectacular Thai-fusion restaurant in Williamsburg.  A key destination in the hipster enclave of Brooklyn (think Shoreditch, but less twattish).  When you enter the restaurant and are greeted with mirror balls, transparent chairs hanging from the ceiling and leather bean bags to one side and pod-like toilet cubicles shrouded in the centre of the bar area to the other side, you could be forgiven for thinking that you're in the chill out room of an uber-cool techno club.  Oh no.  Order yourself a fierce mojito or one of their speciality martinis (lychee was particularly tasty, I recall) relax and wait to be seated.  <br><br>This place is big, mega-busy, but worth waiting for.  As you're led through into the restaurant itself, you're met with the centre-piece of the room; a reflective pool of water with a Buddha statue presiding over it.  The cosy tables alongside the water feature are quite romantic, while the cool design of the space and the various nooks and crannies also allow for bench style tables that can accommodate large groups of friends.  <br><br>The place is always buzzing and the food is first rate and reasonably priced.  More of a south-east Asian fusion than strictly Thai (hence the SEA name) the usual red/green curries and pad thai noodle dishes are all sublime while the fresh fish and sea-food specialities are awesome too.  A very cool restaurant in one of the more interesting neighbourhoods of New York.]]></description>
