Celebrities and Instagram models officially have a new go-to dinner spot in Miami. Unsurprisingly, David Grutman is behind it, although he has found an unexpected partner in the venture: Bad Bunny!
The hospitality guru has teamed up with the international recording artist to unveil Gekkō, the latest hot spot in Grutman's already sizzling Groot Hospitality portfolio (Swan, Komodo, Papi Steak, The Goodtime Hotel). As for co-owner Bad Bunny? He can just add it to his lineup of instant hits - no singing required.
Embracing the vibe of an upscale Japanese steakhouse - in both cuisine and décor - Gekkō has landed in the buzzy heart of Brickell and has already become an after-dark favorite. Fitting, considering its name literally means "moonlight" in Japanese.
The sprawling space, which consists of a 185-seat indoor-outdoor dining room and lounge, was designed by the Rockwell Group, so you know not a single ounce of glamour was spared. Decked out in sumptuous jewel tones, detailed artwork, and lavish accents, it sets quite the striking scene.
The luxurious experience, of course, extends to the plate, with premium cuts of steak, high-end sushi, and fancy twists on chophouse classics all on the menu. And while the Wagyu beef and lobster dumplings are sure to satisfy, those looking for an extra dose of decadence can opt for the gilded Gekkō original, 24k Otoro. Yes, that would be sushi topped with edible gold.
