The
Atmosphere:
Dark, mysterious and cozy, with a wall of water, floor of (real)
grass, plush dining couches and vaguely Moorish architectural
details, Tantra breathes a sensual, exotic air.
The Food:
Ravishing ingredients like truffles, foie gras and lobster impart a
sensual tone to a menu full of "aphrodisiac cuisine."
Starters include a stunning lobster napoleon, morsels of succulent
crustacean and avocado sandwiched between thin slices of mango,
drizzled with truffle vinaigrette. Then there's the Tantra Love
Apple, a whole tomato sliced, smeared with goat cheese then
reassembled and finished with basil oil. Filet mignon comes drizzled
in black coffee sauce. Organic chicken is stuffed with truffles,
placed atop an ethereal lobster mushroom frittata and surrounded by
artichoke petals. Don't miss a restaurant signature: seared-raw tuna
with opulent truffle-foie gras sauce. Save room for the luscious
chocolate "goddess" cake with bourbon-flavored dark and
white chocolates.
