Nice place to go for dinner...... Check Out This Restaurant! How cool is that?

Origins:   The pictures displayed above are photographs of Ithaa, the unique undersea restaurant that opened at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa Rangali Island in April 2005. Ithaa — a word meaning "pearl" in the local Dhivehi language — is a tiny restaurant by resort hotel standards (it seats only 12 people), but it offers diners a "spectacular underwater view of colorful fish, sharks and other sea life in the surrounding coral reefs through curved, transparent acrylic walls." Guests begin their visits with drinks on a deck overhanging the Indian Ocean, then descend to the restaurant (16 feet underwater) via a spiral staircase, where they indulge in meals of contemporary Maldivian fusion cuisine served in four courses. (The cost per person for dinner ranges from $187 to $220.)
