After bistro the Bromberg brothers’ abating cuisine for years in Las Vegas at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, Brooklyn Bowl and Blue Ribbon Absurd Chicken, my acquaintance with their aliment ability accept acquired me to accomplish a mistake: not prioritizing a appointment to the adapted Blue Ribbon at the Cosmopolitan. It opened in June, a about-face from the baking hot, sushi-laden nightspot that accustomed with the resort in 2010 into a new booty on the aboriginal Blue Ribbon Brasserie from SoHo. The alteration appeared to be an abetment for Zuma, the sushi-centric izakaya that additionally accustomed this year, aloof accomplish away, as allotment of Cosmo’s restaurant refresh.
I ate my way through Zuma—and Momofuku and Milk Bar and Beauty & Essex and Eggslut—the new restaurants at the air-conditioned casino, about apathy that this Blue Ribbon is additionally new. But the affair you’re attractive for is consistently in the aftermost abode you look, and this is the Cosmo accession I’ll appear aback to the most.
Designed by Asfour Guzy Architects with contributions from longtime aesthetic accomplice Jen Ferguson, the amplitude is shiny, dark, chic and sexy—the absolute brasserie. I’ll go aback and alternating amid a bench at the handsome, well-serviced bar and one of the secluded, about abstruse booths in the back.
The sushi is gone, unless you calculation yellowtail and apricot ceviche ($20) and a attenuate sashimi bowl ($26). In its abode are over-the-top raw bar offerings like the Imperial belfry ($425) with its absolute lobster, 50 grams of Baeri Royal Siberian sturgeon caviar and a accomplished lot more. That’s for those with amount accounts. I’m actuality for the abatement matzoh brawl soup loaded with dill ($14); escargot and augment acknowledgment with bacon and angel ($19); and buttery, cool red trout with brittle bark served over abominable spatzle with almond amber adulate ($29). The Blue Ribbon Burger ($28) will change, but for now it’s a alloy of abandon and smoked brisket topped with bisected a twice-baked potato and served with foie gras fries.
Of course, there’s absurd craven ($30), and they’ll accompany out some wasabi honey if you appetite to reminisce. But there’s additionally a Pu Pu Platter ($19 per person) with wings, ribs, shrimp, absurd oysters, craven skewers and avoid eggrolls. It’s so abundant fun, I’m rounding up a group. Appetite in?
