How Bad Bunny Does Bad Bunny’s Miami Restaurant Really Feel? | Bon Appétit
"A plush, jewel-toned, velvet-wrapped Japanese steakhouse in Brickell that opened in mid-2022 and trades heavily on a nightclub-meets-restaurant vibe. The dining room is dramatic and intimate — an eight-foot dragon mural, abundant gold accents and red mood lighting set the tone — and the floor is often loud and packed, with closely spaced tables and an after-hours lounge promising celebrity drop-ins. Menu items are flashy and designed for social-media moments: Wagyu crispy rice and an A5 tomahawk that the celebrity owner has praised, a bone-in rib eye listed at $1,200, a $120 tableside flaming steak, lobster fried rice with a hint of XO sauce ($42), whole fried snapper ($72), butter-doused milk bread with nori ($16), 24-karat-gold-plated lobster dumplings ($36), sticky-sweet eggplant, and an overly sweet dulce de leche lava cake. Cocktails skew saccharine and themed (for example, a drink named after the owner’s album), and while the place is fun and undeniably photogenic, the food — though dramatic — mostly lands as merely competent compared with Miami’s more inventive options, and the overall experience felt pricey, lightly branded by the celebrity at best, and sometimes marred by service- and virality-related complaints." - ByAntara Sinha
