In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor. Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

One of Miami’s most accomplished chefs, Okuwa, a master of Edomae-style sushi, reshapes tradition for a savvy audience eager for something new. Those looking for the perfect spot for a romantic date, a lunch with friends or to celebrate a special occasion, will delight in this remarkable cuisine immersed in a stunning setting created by internationally renowned designer, India Mahdavi.

    If the noise was slightly lower this restaurant would easily get 5 stars. At times it is deafening, inside and outside.

    Love this restaurant, patio vibe is cool and fun. Service very good. The House salad, veggie rice, Robato grill and sushi were delicious, great flavor. Think prices are very fair. If celebrating a birthday, the Chocolate Lava Cake is perfect to share. Enjoy!
