The Sapphire Lounge & Supper Club, a new 1950’s supper club concept, will soft open in the Westshore area later this week. 

Located next door to Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, at 4410 W Boy Scout Blvd., The Sapphire will debut Friday, May 15, in a new 17,000-square-foot space within the TriPointe Plaza, formerly occupied by a plastic surgeon’s office.

According to a press release, Sapphire aims to create a ’50s-inspired supper club experience that “blends live music, elevated dining, and intimate VIP exclusivity into one sophisticated destination.”

The dining club will be helmed by general manager Stephen Hickey, formerly of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood; executive chef Taro Larrea—described by the press release as “renowned for an innovative fusion of Venezuelan and Spanish flavors”—will lead the kitchen.

Sapphire’s menu spans small plate options like various oyster offerings, beef tenderloin carpaccio, salmon and hamachi crudo and a caviar service titled “The One.”  Other heartier menu highlights include a robust steak section, grilled lamb chops, a wagyu beef hot dog, grilled spanish octopus, tuna tomahawk steak, and a separate “plant forward” menu with options like grilled cauliflower steak and a vegan cheeseburger.  Signature cocktails are also up for grabs. 

Sapphire will be open Wednesday-Sunday from 6 p.m.-midnight, and Thursday-Saturday from 6 p.m.-2 a.m.
