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.

    The vibe is outstanding, beautiful surroundings. Modern Japanese food was truly outstanding. The Seabass in particular was the best we’ve ever eaten. Nicole our server was outstanding. Makoto has a culture of excellence which permeates every element of this restaurant! Run, don’t walk to Makoto!

    Everything we ate was delicious and our waiter Eric was fantastic. Don’t miss the truffle salmon and wagyu carpaccios. We also loved the crab salad. Hamachi crispy rice was citrusy and texturally pleasing. We preferred patio rather than inside. Mochi for dessert was perfect. We can’t wait to go back!

    This is the first time in many times that I have eaten at Makoto when in Miami that I can honestly say the service was absolutely horrible. The waiter was inattentive. Never received my second drink. I never was asked for dessert. He literally was never seen. Took my order and never came back.
