Curacao (February 2009) - Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa & Casino kicked off the new year with the opening of its newest culinary venture, the Sculpture Garden Restaurant, which will serve as the resort's new fine-dining establishment.

African sculptures and a contemporary mural surround the garden, making it an ideal place for aficionados to enjoy one-of-a-kind art and exquisite cuisine under the stars. It's open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
The Sculpture Garden Restaurant will feature an a la carte menu as well as a specialty set menu that will change weekly. The set menu offers a choice of three appetizers, three entrees and two desserts for US $49.50.
The menu was developed by Sjoerd Wassenaar, the restaurant's executive chef, and includes offerings such as pan-fried breaded scallops with marinated crab salad served with steamed green mussel and curry coconut sauce; grilled Chilean sea bass filet with grilled vegetable lasagna, lemon grass sauce and a tomato, lemon grass, ginger salsa; and the classic grilled US beef tenderloin served with a reduction of balsamic, mousseline of celery root and garden mushroom jus, among a variety of others.
