"On the spectrum of $200-per-person omakase dinners and places that serve sushi rolls under $15, you’ll find Blue Ribbon just about in the middle, tilted slightly towards the fancier side of the scale. This spot serves high-quality fish inside a cute little art deco hotel, and it's a good option for a fancy-ish dinner in South Beach. Come here to eat good sashimi, any roll with fatty tuna, and some very good fried chicken. If the weather is nice, sit outside. They have pretty outdoor seating by the hotel's pool." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Blue Ribbon is a good option for a couple of reasons. To start, the food is very good. There’s sushi obviously, but also some great fried chicken and oxtail fried rice. Blue Ribbon also happens to be housed within the adorable and charming Plymouth Hotel, home to one of the cutest lobby bars in Miami in case you want to start with a cocktail before dinner. There’s some nice poolside outdoor seating too. And if all that - plus their decent hip-hop playlist - doesn’t put you in a slightly romantic mood, well, maybe this relationship just wasn’t meant to be." - ryan pfeffer

This spot serves high-quality fish (and a great fried chicken you should order) inside a cute little art deco hotel. It's a good option for a fancy-ish dinner in South Beach. We really like the outdoor seating alongside the hotel's pool, which is the move on a pretty night." - ryan pfeffer
"We've always liked Blue Ribbon, and it's still a good option for a fancy-ish dinner in South Beach. The restaurant is located inside a cute little art deco hotel, has an equally cute lobby bar, and a very charming poolside outdoor seating situation. Plus, the food is all solid. Come here to eat good sashimi, any roll involving fatty tuna, and don't skip the very good fried chicken that comes with wasabi honey for dipping." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Just two blocks from the Convention Center, the Plymouth Hotel offers Japanese cuisine at Blue Ribbon’s outdoor dining room and poolside area. Along with sushi and sashimi options, diners can enjoy Blue Ribbon’s most popular dishes, such as fried chicken and oxtail fried rice. The charming canopy-covered poolside area and outdoor dining room make for a tranquil atmosphere to enjoy a meal between activities or after a full day of meetings." - Juliana Accioly
