Sutra Lounge   

The element that hits the strongest when taking in the Sutra Lounge is the air of romance. The decor is predominately a modern take on classically Asian elements with authentic details like an antique opium bed, an oversized statue of Buddha in the foyer and a stunning color scheme consisting of black, maroon and gold accents. Since the restaurant opens at dusk, the quixotic atmosphere is increased tenfold. The clientele is what you'd expect from a posh restaurant of this caliber: young-ish, good-looking, trendy and with money to burn. That's not to say the food is overly expensive. The exotic menu of lobster, shrimp, and game hen swimming in indulgent sauces and glazes is served appetizer style, which encourages one to order more ''entrees'' than usual. Factor in a couple of drinks from the bar's outstanding wine or cocktail list and the tab for two can reach a princely sum.
