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.”

    I recently made a reservation at Gekko, excited to enjoy a nice meal. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected. Upon arrival, we were informed that despite our reservation, we would have to wait an hour and 30 minutes to be seated. This was frustrating, especially since we had planned our evening around this dining experience. The staff was polite and apologetic, but it felt disorganized. We watched as other guests who arrived after us were seated sooner, which added to our disappointment. While I understand that delays can happen, the lengthy wait time without any clear communication or compensation was disappointing.

    Derrick is a great host. The wagyu experience is delicious. And the ginger salad is light and crisp.

    My goodness....what can I not say about this place. It was everything that we had hoped it would be. It was Valentines Day and my wife's birthday. From the girl who greeted us outside who said Happy Birthday, then the girls at the host area saying the same thing, to the INCREDIBLE SERVER KRISTIAN, who was absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding and the whole staff was nice. Although it's a pricey restaurant, it was worth it that night. THANK YOU GEKKO

    We went on Super Bowl night so it was super quiet. I’ve been here a few times and I love the intimacy.
