Siam Orchid, Sarasota

Tucked around the corner from Universal Studios is a diminutive little Siam Orchid Restaurant that deserves renown of its own. Siam Orchid is regarded by many locals and tourists alike as offering some of the best Thai food anywhere. You'll recognize the attention to detail the minute you walk in - from its peaked roofs, sparkling carp pond and gleaming brass trinkets, you'll feel like you've stepped into another world. Dishes range from mild to spicy, exotic to traditional, yet all are prepared with tender loving care.
