Dinining

• The Pavilion at Manta Ray Point Architecture is inspired by 18thcentury Buddhist temples. Two large bronze Japanese koi and a 9foot diameter Japanese bronze bowl filled with small fish and water lilies sit at its southern entrance.

Specialty dishes include shrimp, lobster, or chicken served in spicy Thai or Batik's signature east Indian curry. Meals conclude with the delivery of bonbons atop a vented container of dry ice, which flows over tables like lava from an erupting volcano. In the cocktail lounge, a pianist performs nightly. Dinner reservations are recommended.
