They
say that when one door closes another one opens.
This cosmic rule couldn't be more true than in Stapleton right now
where the recent closing of the Coral Room has scattered droves of style-savvy diners into an eating-out purgatory of sorts.
Left to their own devices, diners have been forced to choose between
apathetic strip-mall fare and the searing hell of sports bars, where nachos
have replaced Ahi and the only notable people-watching is the
guy at the bar suckling hot wing sauce
off pudgy fingers while transfixed to one of fifteen big-screen
TVs.

But
alas, there is light at the end of the Cheese Whiz tunnel. Meet
Bluefin Sushi, the latest addition to the Stapleton Town Center, and
the new home for much of Gaypleton
and other Coral Room refugees. The dim and intimate space fits about
fifty people, all centered around a blue-lit sushi bar where filets
of tuna and puckered Octopus tentacles are stacked delicately behind
a glass partition waiting to be sliced, seared and rolled into one
of their 40 sashimi/sushi offerings.
The menu includes a pretty standard sushi checklist where prices
range from about $4 to $14. The roster has all the usual suspects
with a few noteworthy additions including the Shake Kawa roll
(salmon skin) and the Baked Spicy Roll (a fat sushi-sausage of
cooked salmon and yellowtail tuna). As for the rest of the menu,
there's scads of traditional appetizers including mussels, edamame,
calamari and even a tempura tofu number that's pretty tasty. For
the main course, you'll find seafood and seaweed salads, a variety
of pre-selected sushi plates and a few chicken, steak and mackerel
entrees for good measure and to, no doubt, appease any
non-adventurous culinary types.
Bluefin is one new door that's certain to stay open for quite some
time...or at least one can hope. |
