Prime Blue Grille
Downtown District Gets Uptown Eats
Following the demand for healthy, natural foods, a cutting-edge steak and seafood restaurant will open its premier location in Downtown Miami this summer.
Prime Blue Grille will be the first national restaurant to serve natural, corn-fed, hormone and antibiotic free, 100 percent source-verified prime beef. However, they take a different approach to the typical steakhouse, placing just as much emphasis on its seafood selection. |
|
Located on the Riverwalk at One Miami and with 8,000 square feet, 277 seats, and four private dining rooms, the restaurant is set in a contemporary, yet warm design that offers a sophisticated and fun environment.
Enjoy fine food in this one-of-a-kind restaurant overlooking the Miami River. For more information, please call 786-877-0757 or visit www.primebluegrille.com. |
