This glam Miami spot was just named one of the World's Most Beautiful Restaurants
Japón at The Setai has officially landed on the Prix Versailles 2025 list of the World's Most Beautiful Restaurants—and if you've ever sipped a cocktail under its gold-leaf ceiling while aerialists twirled above a fountain, this news will surprise exactly no one. Tucked inside the luxe courtyard of The Setai Miami Beach, Japón is an extravagant homage to Japanese craft, interpreted with the kind of over-the-top flourish only Miami can pull off. Designed by Saladino Design Studios, the space is saturated in symbolism and maximalist beauty, anchored by the image of the crane, Japan's symbol of grace and good fortune. A custom mosaic crane greets guests at the entrance and the motif ripples through fabrics, murals and a towering pagoda out back. The moody dining room is layered with temple-style ceilings, glossy green-blue paneling and woodblock prints from the 1800s, giving the feeling of the salon of a globe-trotting art collector. One room is sectioned off by a hand-painted, gold-foiled glass mural, while another glows beneath a gold-leaf ceiling and vintage paintings. Even the bar gets the star treatment, with marble ribs and custom wallpaper. Add a retractable roof and you've got one of the most striking indoor-outdoor dining environments in the city. As for what's on the plate, chefs Vijayudu Veena and Iván Monzón deliver an Asian-fusion lineup with hits like truffle hot pot, miso salmon, hamachi crudo and tuna pizza on a crispy wonton base. And yes, those illuminated fan dancers and acrobats you saw on TikTok are real. They perform above the decorative pool, giving new meaning to 'dinner and a show.' Though the food leans more pan-Asian than personal, Japón is a vibe—and that's exactly what the Prix Versailles awards. The list, which includes just 16 restaurants globally, celebrates design that feeds the senses. Whether or not Japón takes home the final global title in December, it's already a star in Miami's dining galaxy.

Former Rockford Applebee's to become Mongolian stir-fry restaurant, Yummy Bowl
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — The former Applebee's restaurant, at 6845 E. State Street, is set to become a Mongolian stir-fry restaurant. Mongolian grill-style restaurants offer Asian-fusion stir-fry cuisine, where customers craft their own bowls by selecting ingredients that are cooked on a giant grill while they watch. Yummy Bowl will also offer Japanese ramen, Korean fried chicken, and fresh sushi. The chain has locations in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama, and more states throughout the Midwest and along the East Coast. The news follows an April that the former Hardee's in Loves Park, at 1550 E. Riverside, will become Super Bowl Mongolian Grill. Rockford was once home to a BD's Mongolian Grill location at 7310 Walton Street, but it closed in 2010. No for Yummy Bowl has been announced. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Downtown Detroit steakhouse expanding and opening a Nashville location in later this year
Metro Detroit restaurateur Jeremy Sasson is expanding Prime + Proper, his premier steakhouse in Detroit's Capitol Park, from Motown and the Motor City to the south's Music City. On Tuesday, Heirloom Hospitality, Sasson's restaurant and hospitality group, announced plans for a Prime + Proper in Nashville to open later this year. According to a news release, the restaurant will open in the Nashville Yards area. 'We believe both the Motor City and Music City have such great histories and communities with a love for delicious food and soulful hospitality,' said Jeremy Sasson of Heirloom Hospitality in a news release. "We are so honored to have the opportunity to become part of the fabric of the greater Nashville community.' In Nashville, the restaurant will have features mirroring its Capitol Park location, including having the city's largest restaurant dry aging facility. Prime + Proper's well-aged and marbled meats will be paired with wines from several on-site wine cellars and curated by Prime + Proper's team of sommeliers. Located at 1000 Broadway on the street level of the Nashville Grand Hyatt, Prime + Proper will seat nearly 200 across its 7,200-square-foot space, including the main dining room, private dining and bar seating. Nashville Yards is a 19-acre development area featuring 'office, retail, entertainment, hospitality, and residential towers in one authentic, irreplaceable community,' according to its website. Prime + Proper is moving into a space previously occupied by Bar Continental, a record-listening bar and lounge by Nashville chef Sean Brock, according to the Tennessean. 'Prime + Proper offers an unmatched culinary experience – excellent food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere,' said Tim Horton, managing director and partner – Hospitality Investments at Southwest Value Partners. 'We are pleased to welcome them to Grand Hyatt Nashville.' Prime + Proper's Nashville location will also feature its Knife Society membership, which gives guests access to the restaurant's exclusive programs and events. Leading the restaurant's interior design is Tury Design. The restaurant architecture component will be led by Remick and designing the kitchen is JS2 Designs. A Nashville outpost of Joe Muer Seafood from metro Detroit's Joe Vicari Restaurant Group opened in August 2023. More recently, the Nashville Joe Muer closed and changed concepts. Now called Detroit Cowboy, the restaurant is a partnership between Michigan-born Kid Rock and the Joe Vicari group. Experience Zuzu, a downtown Detroit Asian-fusion eatery with a club-like atmosphere, from Birmingham-based Elia Group, announced plans for a Nashville location last year. The restaurant, according to its website, is listed as coming soon, and the Elia Group is targeting a mid-June opening. At full staff, Prime + Proper in Nashville expects to employ 65 and offer dinner seven days a week. After opening, the restaurant expects to add brunch service. Mad Nice, Townhouse Detroit, and Birmingham are other restaurants under the Heirloom Hospitality umbrella.
