Showcasing the dynamic pairing of the master sushi chef and design impresario, Katsuya Baha Mar is centrally located on the casino floor and is sbe's first concept to open at the luxury resort destination.
"We welcome master sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi's and sbe's award-winning modern Japanese restaurant to our extensive roster of global flavors at Baha Mar," said Graeme Davis, president of Baha Mar. "The addition of Katsuya, along with 10 sbe restaurants and lounges, reinforces Baha Mar as a rich culinary destination in the heart of the Caribbean.
