Erawan

A magnet for local daters, Erawan seduces with potted palms and orchids, a martini-savvy bartender and Diana Krall crooning on the sound system. Offerings are geared to Anglo eaters, so don’t expect infernolike flavors; enjoy such tasty, if mild, choices as coconut-broth chicken soup, brightly spiced noodles and pan-seared curried seafood. Even the goofy pineapple fried rice, served in a hollowed-out fruit, will seem like fun after a little Cosmo-fueled attitude adjustment.
