“Have you ever used the iPad before?”
This mountain of fish positioned at the rear of the dining room is the philosophical center of the space—the former Keefer’s, erased from memory with a massive tropical fish tank to enjoy on your way to restrooms and a giant shark mobile in the bar. White-linen-covered tables and emerald-green chairs are situated in a wide-open dining room that’s ideal for gawking at your fellows as if you’re looking for someone better to talk to at the yacht club. If you’re exiled to the second-floor dining area there won’t be much people watching, but at least there’s a giant flat-screen TV to distract you from your companions.
For dessert there’s a perfectly terrible-looking neon-green key lime bombe, rolled in what appear to be corn flakes and filled with creamy, tart goodness. Get it. Otherwise an icy chocolate vacherin, a tiramisu in a rocks glass, and a forgettable pineapple financier round out a fairly unremarkable quartet of desserts.
