Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill, Mermaid Inn, Bacara: NYT Reviews Today

Posted by Ed Levine, January 16, 2008 at 7:58 AM

Frank Bruni finally gets to Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill, and he agrees with me that it is one fine restaurant. He didn't find the sushi as impressive as I did. His quote: "In terms of pure quality Blue Ribbon's sushi and sashimi aren't among the very best in town." Maybe not, but I have had two very exemplary plates of sushi there in the last couple of weeks at half the cost of the best sushi joints in New York (like Kurumazushi).

In the dining briefs Peter Meehan trashes Bacara, and Julia Moskin inflicts the same treatment on the upper west side location of Mermaid Inn. I had a very solid meal at the Mermaid Inn Uptown location the week it opened. I haven't been to Bacara.

Any Serious Eaters been to any of these restaurants?

Ed, I hope it is one of your 2008 goals to finally sit in front of Yasuda.
