​Coral landscape

The coral landscape, which stretches around the edges of the tubular structure, draws all shapes and sizes of sea life right up to the glass, leaving you with the inescapable feeling that you're the one on display and the sea life are actually looking in at you.

Courses include a mix of unique meat and seafood-based dishes that emphasize the flavors of the local and imported ingredients.

All courses -- sent down via a tiny elevator near the kitchen above -- are paired with a selection of top wines, selected by the resort's sommelier.

In addition to the seven-course dinner menu there's a four- or seven-course lunch.
