VARSOL BY AKASHI – Restaurant

A softly lit sushi bar on Main Highway in Coconut Grove, where the owner tends to be somewhere in the room and the cocktail list is taken as seriously as the fish. Rolls arrive tight and generous, the Brie roll and Shrimp Pop Roll among the ones people order twice, alongside spicy octopus tiradito, Varsol ceviche, salmon sashimi, riceless options, truffle edamame and crisp fried gyozas. Drinks lean spicy margarita and a properly built Negroni; dessert runs to chocolate mousse and homemade flan. Diners describe an evening that feels looked-after from the first pour to the last plate.
