After Dark
By GABE BERMAN

If you want to stay on the beach in Hollywood but are in the mood for more of an upscale setting, Sugar Reef Tropical Grill is an oasis of class sandwiched between ice cream shops and T-shirt stores. It's just down the strip from O'Malley's at 600 N. Surf Rd. and is a perfect setting for a first date, second date or any date years after you've stopped counting.
You're welcomed to dress as if it's laundry day, but the ambience suggests otherwise. The tables are covered with royal blue linens and topped with candleholders that could double as artwork. The walls are covered in a brightly colored mosaic of tiles and the servers are donned in pressed black pants and starched white shirts.

Grab a table or sit at the bar and order an espresso or glass of wine (50 to choose from). The surf and swaying palms go perfectly with the Cuban jazz, classical or Buddha Bar lounge music you'll often hear at Sugar Reef.
