Blue Jasmine Restaurant

What Blue Jasmine Restaurant does

Blue Jasmine Restaurant operates Blue Jasmine Wine & Tapasía, a Pan-Asian fusion restaurant, alongside The Jasmine Lounge, an adjacent bar and lounge, at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton, UK. The business was placed under new ownership by Yuanyi Li in 2024 and is built around a curated wine program maintained by in-house sommeliers on a two-week rotation cycle, complemented by exclusive supply arrangements with vineyards such as Italian producer Veronese Beatrice.

The venue serves walk-in diners, private-event clients, and voucher purchasers, with capacity for up to roughly 120 covers across the restaurant and lounge spaces. The product offering has been actively broadened beyond core dinner service to include a Friday-to-Sunday brunch menu, a guest-chef and Sunday Roast program featuring chefs such as Joseph Pike, a £10-per-day co-working offer inside The Jasmine Lounge, and ancillary merchandise including branded silver-stem wine glasses and gift vouchers.

The revenue model combines on-premises food and beverage sales, private-hire and event bookings, paid experiences and masterclasses, voucher and merchandise sales, and now daytime co-working passes. Distribution is anchored by the marina-front location, supplemented by a partnership with Southampton Football Club for match-day promotion. The company is privately held and operates from a single site; no external funding or technology platform is disclosed.
