South American Surface to Air flagship adds globetrotting food fare to its fashion plate in cavernous restaurant with goth or barn-house feel, depending on what time the sun hits the all-glass ceiling. Boutique, moved next door, left behind whitewashed brick walls and underground attitude, enjoyed by international types and local indie designers who mix their oui with sim as easily as their whiskey and caipirinhas. Main dining area is crowned with skeleton support draped in rope with bulbs at the ends, with angled mirrors along the walls reflecting diners slurping down ceviche and squid in Brazilian bacchanalia. End of dining room has gothic-style setup of candles in various melted stages for extra medieval effect. Those who can't get into owners' Bar Secreto velvet-rope funfest have a taste of the scene at seats at wooden bar near entrance, where hangovers are inevitably nursed as well.
