 Since its opening in 2005, the expansive, expensive resto-lounge has somewhat tamed both its flavors and its flashy ambience. But those seeking a glamorous, club-like setting needn't fret. The signature $60,000 aquarium, filled with glowing live jellyfish, remains, as does the exhibition kitchen and global cuisine. The menu roams the centuries-old spice route for inspiration, but you won't find fusion here; while dishes are decidedly creative, each maintains the flavors of its own individual region rather than blending international influences within single items. Hence, diners can choose a very Mediterranean meze of grilled sausage and sweet peppers with feta, preserved lemon and bissara dip; or Latin "fire and ice" (Honduran lobster and scallops with coconut, basil and hot pepper ice). We still recommend much of the fare, though the eatery's most convincing items have been those from the Western world. In fact, many Asian dishes, including all Chinese-inspired creations, are now completely gone. Those with over the top tastes (and deep pockets) can still, however, end with a Kopi Luwak espresso, made from the rarest coffee beans on earth.
