Midorie, the Miami-based sushi and donburi bowl restaurant that offers the highest quality items in a casual setting, has set its sights on Fort Lauderdale.
The restaurant, by Alvaro Perez Miranda, founder of APM Restaurant Group, will open at The Arcadian at 649 NW Seventh Avenue in the city’s historic Sistrunk District this June, bringing the same fresh seafood and attention to detail as its Coconut Grove and Upper East Side sister restaurants. Previously, it was announced that Midorie would open an outpost in West Palm Beach this spring.
Midorie offers the freshest seafood, flown in daily from Tokyo’s famed fish markets, sharing that same DNA as its sister concepts: Wynwood’s Ogawa and and Michelin-starred Hiyakawa, located in Miami’s Upper East Side neighborhood. Midorie, the hip little sister of the trio of concepts, offers fresh sushi, nigiri, and temaki, along with donburi (bowls). Sushi lovers craving value can take advantage of its $100 omakase, offering a selection of sushi and nigiri carefully chosen by the chef and presented all at once.
Midorie Fort Lauderdale will be comprised of several dining experiences where guests can opt to sit in the 34-seat dining room, enjoy an interactive experience at the eight-seat sushi counter, or choose an intimate evening in the eight-person private Sakura Room. The restaurant is expected to also be a feast for the eyes with paintings by Venezuelan artist Rafael Rangela, 28-foot aluminum origami art piece, and custom Japanese lanterns to give a soft glow to the experience.
