Blue Ribbon is the type of place where the ambiance and hospitality far exceeds the food, hence why I'm generous enough to give them four stars.
Every time I've gone, I've sat at the sushi bar and orders my pieces of nigiri a la carte. I'm always finding myself ordering something adventurous (LOVED the Madai wrapped with Uni topped with Caviar) but was a little unimpressed with their Sushi/Sashimi Platter which was a whomping $60.
The platter was BEYOND BASIC and bland since all they did was just slice the fishes. When you're dropping dough for sushi on The Strip, you'd expect a little something more, even the presentation wasn't something to rave about!
What I do like about Blue Ribbon is the selection of sake offered just by the glass. A lot of my girlfriends aren't sake drinkers (they'll stick with specialty cocktails instead) so to see Watari Bune available by the glass was an eyebrow raiser (in a good way) to me.
Obviously the sushi is the only thing I didn't like about this place (so sad since it's a sushi restaurant) but if the rumors of Zuma coming in to take over is true then they better impress from all angles.
Regardless, I'll be back since I love The Cosmopolitan and the ambiance. I just won't order any sushi (unless I'm drunk).
