Take some big antique mirrors, brick walls, high-style metal chairs and a thumping DJ playing good tunes, and add creative cocktails and a menu with beautifully arranged sushi, Wagyu burgers, duck and more, and you have the grand opening of Nitrogen this week (6779 W. Indiantown Road, Jupiter, 561/972-2944).
This Asian-menu bar/grill/sushi shop aims to be a combo of restaurant and high-end bar with inventive drinks (like the No Soup For You pictured), and word is dancing on Friday and Saturdays until 2 a.m. when the season starts. Dishes use local seasonal ingredients and sustainable sourced seafood.
It’s tucked away just east of I-95 off Indiantown Road, so it’s easy to get to and could be a stop for those heading home after work. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., with a separate happy hour menu. Try the deviled Scotch eggs, or the sashimi tartare (pictured).
With one special sold-out drink-food pairing dinner under its belt, Nitrogen says another focusing on beer vs. wine is in the works for Dec. 3. Reserve by email at info@nitrogen.com. The last dinner, served at the restaurant’s communal chef’s table that holds 13, was $100, including tax/tip.
