It looks like a stage left over from Pirates of Penzance but cast in short-skirt, Jimmy-Choo strutting socialites on their winter holiday from glamour capitals like London, New York and Milan. Mutiny comes in form an early evening dinner scene that's anything but about the food. The bordello-inspired space is cast in shades of scarlet red with vaulted wood ceiling and single-room bar surrounded in photographs of various party debaucheries and topped off with a feather-trimmed chandelier. In a neighboring room is a small pub-style dining room enveloped in cherub statuettes, satin drapery and chatty staff eager to tattle on the season's wildest escapades. The after-dinner scene kicks off around 8pm as the island's older guard grab a table and indulge in the tavern's lengthy wine menu and champagne cellar. The younger crowd sets-in well after midnight in a fashion show of excess busting a move to classic rock and pop tunes by DJ Frankey.
