South Beach has no shortage of places to order an expensive steak. Or sushi. Or a steak followed by sushi because you couldn’t decide which one you wanted. But Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, tucked inside The Plymouth Hotel, is making that decision a little more interesting with an expanded steak menu that brings some of its New York favorites to Miami. We’re talking charcoal grilled prime beef, Japanese A5 Wagyu, caviar and french fries cooked in Wagyu fat. Suddenly, that sushi reservation is looking like a steakhouse dinner.
And while Miami hardly needs another place charging serious money for serious beef, Blue Ribbon has already built a loyal following around its sushi, sashimi and Japanese specialties. Now it’s borrowing from its sister restaurant at Penn 1 in New York, giving diners another reason to stay for a second course. Or a third. Depending on how ambitious you’re feeling.
Oh wow. Another New York restaurant bringing steak to Miami. Groundbreaking.
Technically, Blue Ribbon has already been feeding Miami for years.
So now the sushi restaurant thinks it’s a steakhouse?
Apparently. And when the menu includes a 32-ounce Bone-In Ribeye and Japanese A5 Wagyu, we’re willing to hear them out.
Please tell me this isn’t another place where the steak costs more than my car payment.
Well, nobody said premium Wagyu was going to be cheap. But at least you can still order sushi.
