Although kosher diners, in particular, are sure to savor a special evening at Maison Ostrow this March, the upcoming dinner at the French-Mediterranean kitchen and bar promises to impress anyone drawn to a little culinary theater. On Thursday, March 5, a roster of heavy-hitting talent will host a six-course experience anchored by a live 150-pound bluefin tuna carving—an awe-inducing spectacle that doubles as dinner prep.
Celebrity chef and TV personality Todd English will join chef-owner Olivia Ostrow alongside the expert fish-cutting team from Sushi by Bou for the one-night-only event. The meal will be prepared live and served immediately, each course paired with wines from Herzon Wine Cellars. Owner David Galzignato will be on hand to walk guests through every pour.
As for the menu, highlights include thon cru (minute-cut tuna dressed with olive oil, citrus, fleur de sel and fresh horseradish), plancha-style seared tuna loin with preserved lemon, capers, tarragon, garlic confit and piment d’Espelette, a flambéed tuna collar finished with orange peel and fennel seed, and grilled brochettes layered with eggplant, cherry tomato and rosemary. Throughout the evening, small plates, baguettes, rice dishes and seasonal salads will circulate, while a cigar sommelier and live music round out the vibe.
In other words, it’s exactly the kind of decadent, see-and-be-seen night Miami has perfected.
