Arriving from the pulse of New York City, the cult-favorite omakase concept Sushi by Bou has made its Miami debut in one of the city’s most storied settings—the iconic Versace Mansion. Tucked within the Gianni’s Suite, this ultra-intimate, four-seat sushi counter delivers a rarefied dining experience where exclusivity is as essential as the cuisine itself.
Designed as a 75-minute culinary journey, the experience unfolds through a meticulously curated omakase menu, showcasing pristine seafood transformed into artful nigiri by the chef’s hand. With seatings beginning at $125 per person (excluding tax, beverages, and gratuity), it is an indulgence tailored for those who appreciate precision, ritual, and the quiet theater of sushi at its highest level.
The concept is the vision of Erika London and Michael Sinensky of Simple Venue Hospitality, alongside celebrated chef David Bouhadana, whose mastery anchors the experience. Together, they have translated the brand’s New York energy into a distinctly Miami expression—one that honors the mansion’s opulent past while introducing a refined, neo-classical aesthetic.
Inside, the setting is as captivating as the cuisine. A jewel-box dining room features four plush counter seats, emerald-toned seating, and a fireplace that lends an air of intimate decadence. Beyond, a 25-seat cocktail lounge overlooks Ocean Drive, offering a seamless transition from omakase precision to Miami’s vibrant nightlife. A signature highlight—the contemporary “Mr. Sake” fountain—introduces a playful yet refined nuance to the experience.
The menu evolves nightly, guided by the freshest market selections, but may include indulgent highlights such as seared Wagyu, buttery uni, bluefin tuna, and delicate cuts of otoro—each presented across an elegant 17-course progression. Since its debut, demand has been immediate, with reservations quickly becoming one of the most sought-after in the city.
While Miami’s sushi scene continues to expand, with destinations like Sushi Azabu offering their own intimate counters, Sushi by Bou at the Versace Mansion stands apart—where heritage, exclusivity, and culinary artistry converge in a setting unlike any other.
For those in pursuit of the extraordinary, securing a seat is less a reservation—and more an invitation into one of Miami’s most coveted dining experiences.
