Blue Ribbon Sushi
278 Fifth Ave. near Garfield Place
718-840-0408
For satisfying sushi in an elegant, understated setting, Blue Ribbon Sushi takes first prize. Enjoy a good selection of sake, high quality fresh sushi that's presented with style, and top it off with green tea brulee or ginger ice cream.
Located adjacent to the Blue Ribbon brasserie, this upscale seafood restaurant is one of several award-winning creations of New York City star chefs Eric & Bruce Bromberg. Like its Manhattan counterparts, the Brooklyn restaurant is dedicated rolling out some of the finest morsels in New York's sushi scene.
For a special treat, try the sushi rolls, or sushi miso with butter lobster.
The menu is a la carte, and a sushi dinner can be pricey. A main course comprised of a dozen pieces of sashimi runs $12.50, and the "very special Blue Ribbon platter" is $135. This restaurant does participate in Brooklyn's Restaurant Week, a good time to get a delicious meal at an attractive price.
There's no dress code; it's fine to go Brooklyn-casual. The seating accommodates couples, groups and families. Some patrons gripe about the presence of too many children and babies during the earlier hours of the evening.
Reservations are recommended.
