I am very surprised to read Charlie500's comments about hard sell on wine. I don't drink and my boyfriend rarely does and we didn't experience so much as a blink when we ordered thai iced tea and green tea. There was not a moment of pressure to order alcohol based on my experience. Wine suggestions are included on the menu for each dish but as a ""foodie"" I appreciated this effort on the part of the restaurant.\r

I can highly highly recommend the seafood green curry. It was delicious. My boyfriend had a beef dish but I was too wrapped up in the curry to notice what he ordered. He took my last scallop and it ticked me off! We shared the basil spring roll as an appetizer and it was wonderful! Delicious and delicate and savory. \r

The waiters were pristine and attentive but melted into the background. They gave us a little time after the appetizer and then promptly cleared the dishes and brought our entrees immediately. Water and tea was kept filled without the waiters being obtrusive. It was a very romantic date and after our meal we sat and talked and we were given the space and time to do this without feeling that we needed to vacate the table. We were not at all rushed. This was about 7 - 8 pm on a Friday night.\r

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. It is where you would least expect such a dining experience to be - I think of strip malls as chain restaurant kind of places but L Thai will surprise and delight you well beyond your expectations. I lived in Tokyo for a year and I learned what ""real"" Thai and Chinese food is. Now I have a real Thai place in the Atlanta metro area. Am still looking for a real Chinese place.\r

We decided even before we pulled out of the parking lot that this would be ""our"" place. If the relationship doesn't work out (it will) I will still make this my regular place.
Pros: simply excellent in every way
Cons: outside the perimeter so in-towners will have to drive 10 miles
