Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gekko offers a "lively atmosphere" with "fantastic food" and "amazing drinks." The sushi and wagyu dishes receive high praise, while the service is often "amazing" and attentive. However, reservation wait times and seating policies can be inconsistent. Despite being "pricey," the "unique" ambiance and culinary delights make it a memorable experience.

    It was my first time dining at Gekko and have heard good things! Our reservation was at 10pm. and didn't get seated till about 20 after. The host at the stand wasn't very friendly but the rest of the staff were great. The drinks were good as well as the food. I did notice little things like chipped soy sauce plates and such which isn't the biggest deal but for a fine dining restaurant, I feel that little things like this do matter. The servers were kind and didn't feel like we were rushed at all. Would definitely go back but the price is definitely hefty so be prepared.

    Went for an early dinner and our experience was amazing. Our stay there was about two hours with how great our experience was going (6pm-8pm on a Tuesday)! Our waiter was sooo sweet, gave us amazing drink recommendations! Kept us satisfied! Sushi was soooo yummy, pricey but so worth it! I’d 100% to back if I’m ever in Miami again!!

    Todo bien, salvo que tardaron mas de una hora en darme mi mesa, aún cuando llegué a tiempo a mi reserva, y nos apuraron para dejar el lugar.

    To spend over $300 on a nice romantic dinner/date night it would’ve been nice if the staff accommodated a table a little farther away from the couple sitting literally 1 foot away from us where we were a part of their entire conversation unfortunately, we had a reservation for a Sunday night at 9 PM. There was plenty of open tables, but they would not accommodate once we sat and to be completely honest it ruined the experience.

    Waited 45 mins to be seated after having a reservation was really frustrating but once seat waiter was great and informative food was great high quality would return

    I had a 9:00 PM reservation and ended up leaving at 9:50 because our table was still not ready. During that time, we had two cocktails at the bar, which were good. Unfortunately, the hostess never apologized for the delay, which made the experience feel even more disappointing

    I had a reservation, but I still waited over an hour for my table. Once seated, I noticed a gentleman smoking a hookah, so I tried to order one, but was told that only the owner, who was smoking, is allowed to use hookah in the building. I found this policy to be extremely unfair and would like to know what code enforcement has to say about it
