Over 400 guests including NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, NBA Great Dennis Rodman and co-owners Frank Talerico and Chef Mai plus other local notables celebrated the VIP Grand Opening of the new upscale Pan Asian Fusion restaurant Tokyo Blue on Thursday, August 26th. During the event, at Ft. Lauderdale’s hottest new restaurant and nightspot on the beach, guests savored freshly made exotic Pan Asian specialties prepared by Tokyo Blue Executive Chef Mai, (formerly of Nobu) and enjoyed signature cocktails from the Ultra Lounge including the smoking Tokyo Blue Martini.
“Our tremendous VIP Grand Opening Party introduced South Florida to our fusion menu of Pan Asian specialties and exotic cocktails that Tokyo Blue will be serving every night,” said Frank Talerico, co-owner of Tokyo Blue. “The combination of our spectacular menu prepared by Chef Mai, stunning oceanfront views and the Ultra Lounge’s electrifying, sexy vibe, is sure to make Tokyo Blue one of Ft. Lauderdale’s hottest dining and late-night spots.”
