Ithaa Undersea Restaurant Review And Video
The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is the world's first restaurant to give patrons a completely underwater experience in the open sea. It opened several years ago; I finally ran across a review and a video; take a look.
The food at the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is quite tasty — we suggest the pan fried Maldivian white fish with fennel sauce and curry leaves. But dinners here don’t pay much attention to what’s on their plate. They are too captivated by the 270 degree view of crystal blue water and vibrant marine life. As you eat your white fish it is very possible that there will be white fish swimming by you, along with sharks, sting rays, cichlids and other tropical fish. After some time here it was hard for us not to feel like a marine creature ourselves, connected to that rich undersea world hidden from land dwellers.

SF fans may recall the undersea restaurant from Jack Vance's 1964 novel The Star King.
