Description:
- The Scene
A lovely, open arc of a room is gussied up with reddish wood and orchids. Glass walls overlook little planes sallying back and forth on the intimate airstrip just below. Couples on dates swoon as planes take off and land against the setting sun, while largers groups share the family-style portions.
The Food
An eclectic, culinary tour of the Pacific Rim delivers tasty Asian tapas and savory entrees but what jumps out of the menu right away are the insects. Minimalist scorpion shrimp toast is beautiful yet bland; crunchy Taiwanese fried crickets are kicked up with garlic, basil and chiles. Timid eaters can make a meal of less adventurous appetizers like rich Malaysian lamb satay, citrusy, sea bass seviche and spicy, tropical Burma wings. For heartier fare, the Mongolian lamb is deeply satisfying. The Thai chicken curry is a tender swoon of coconut, bathed in a silky, mild sauce.
