| - My first experience at Blue Ribbon is the Miami location and I'm obsessed with that one. I was super stoked to try Blue Ribbon grille after hearing that their menu was French! We started off their vodka Arnold palmer type of cocktail, jasmine tea, spare ribs as an appetizer and a side of their sesame shrimp skewers. This cocktail packs a secret punch, doesn't taste like there's even a drop of alcohol but you'll definitely feel it before knowing it! prefer drinks crafted like this! A fusion of teas infused with vodka mixed with lemonade. Those shrimp skewers were huge and their ribs were absolutely finger-lickin' good with a fun presentation. It comes with crispy strips and a mini coal fired grill to cook the ribs, perfect for someone like me who eats slow and loves her food hot! I've never tried honey mustard with ribs but this dish came with a ramekin of specially made honey mustard, and wow its an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Juicy, tangy, sweet, smokey, goodness!
For our main entrees we had the pigeon and salmon. I ordered the pigeon to be cooked just as the chef recommends, and it came to me in tender slices. The drumsticks are my favorite part. Loved how this dish was served with farro, it's the perfect grain in substitution for rice and so much more exciting to see on your plate rather than the usual quinoa. The salmon was grilled just right, each piece flaked off effortlessly onto the fork, and served with crispy strips on top of a bed of creamy mash potatoes, livin for the texture these crispies add! We ended with creme brûlée as dessert, lined with true pure vanilla bean on the bottom of the dish, delicious! No disappointment here, although completely different concepts, I enjoyed Blue Ribbon grille in LV just as much as Blue Ribbon sushi in MIA!
