Gekkō is a japanese-inspired steakhouse and lounge from the minds of groot hospitality’s david grutman and the recording artist bad bunny.

Located in miami’s thriving brickell neighborhood, gekkō immerses patrons in a fusion of elevated steakhouse surroundings with the modernity–and precision–of japanese cuisine. Signature dishes include premium steak cuts, jaw-dropping sushi inventions, and delicious seafood appetizers. A bespoke cocktail program, an extensive wine list and bottle service offerings complement the menu.

Gekkō’s aesthetic is lush, luxe and jewel-toned. With design accents like custom wallpaper, dark and rich palettes and hints of soft golden light, the restaurant transports visitors to an intimate, rare nocturnal world. As it happens, the word “Gekkō” itself translates from Japanese to English as “moonlight.”

    Dear Manager I wanted to share some feedback regarding my recent visit. While I truly enjoy your food and the overall dining experience, I found the group seating policy a bit rigid and inconvenient. During our visit, three members of our group were present and ready to be seated, but we were asked to wait until the last member of our party arrived. While I understand the intention of accommodating complete groups, this policy can be frustrating, especially when the majority of the group is on time and ready to dine. It would be greatly appreciated if there were a more flexible approach, such as allowing seated members to begin ordering while waiting for latecomers. This would enhance the dining experience for your guests while still being considerate of your operational needs.

    I have to begin by saying the hostess ( I didn't get her name) was very rude when we walked in. We (party of 2) were truthfully several minutes late for our reservation and she didn't want to seat us. After waiting for her to finally return from asking the manager what to do with us, she did take us to a table next to a large party and made one of their guests move to accommodate our seating which I thought was very odd since there was ample seating. However, our waiter Kevin came over and introduced himself. He immediately saw the situation and moved us to another table. After that, the evening was great. Kevin was super attentive to our needs; and the food and drinks were excellent. There was even a little after hours lounge in the back. If it wasn't for Kevin, I would be writing a much different review. Thank you Kevin for saving our night!

    I pulled up at 10:15 for a 10:30 reservation. They told me to wait by the bar for 15 mins. At 10:30 I asked if the table was ready and they said another 30 minutes. So I had to leave and and get Burger King across the street.

    We visited Gekko last night and were very disappointed with our experience. The tables in our seating area were uncomfortably close together, making the atmosphere feel cramped. While the food was extremely expensive, the quality and taste didn’t live up to the price. For instance, the Daring plant-based chicken noodles were inedible—it just didn’t taste good. To make matters worse, we were charged for a dish I returned immediately due to an allergy, which felt unfair and frustrating. By the time I left, I was still hungry despite the hefty bill. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience, and we won’t be returning.
