Editorial Review

Thai gets a Summerhillian makeover—it’s familiar and good, but self-consciously safe. A starter of golden baskets, small cups of fried, won ton–like dough filled with tender chicken, crisp bamboo shoots and slightly sweet carrots, is basic but elegant. Shrimp curry makes more of an impression, playing fiery pepper off coconut milk. One even­ing’s special of tamarind chicken presents a blend of sweet and sour. Mains $10–$16.
