Dining room at BondSt, Miami Beach, FLOnce you enter the Art Deco Townhouse hotel, head downstairs to BondSt. Sushi, sashimi and sakés are the order of the day, and few do it with the flair of sushi artist Keisuke Harada. Plop down into one of the comfortable banquettes or oversize chairs, or, if dining alone, make friends by sitting at the rectangular communal table that centers the space. The sushi rolls are creative yet unfailingly subtle rather than overwrought. Yellowtail gets rolled with scallions and fried shallot chips; lobster tempura with yellow tomato dressing and a drizzle of chive oil; eel with spicy pepper and sliced almond. Non-sushi small plates follow suit. Slivers of delicate whitefish sashimi shock the senses with shiso sorbet; the delicate texture of slightly oil-seared bluefin toro carpaccio demonstrates decisively why this treat should never be blended into trendy tartares. Warning: Late night brings a decidedly more lounge-like feel to the room, which is great for sampling sakés from an extensive list, or concoctions like the green tea martini (Kremlyovskaya lemon vodka and Cointreau), but not so great for dinner conversation or focusing on food.
