Gekkō

Gekkō is a Japanese steakhouse concept from Groot Hospitality. The restaurant opened in August 2022 in partnership with the musician Bad Bunny, following David Grutman’s innovative approach to mixing entertainment and hospitality. Gekkō, meaning moonlight, builds its menu around prime cuts and preparations of Wagyu beef (along with hints of Korean barbecue), and there’s an emphasis on tableside presentations–including flame-seared steak courses. Additional popular Japanese-inspired dishes are offered, as well as a full sushi program, including a 6-seat Omakase bar. The Rockwell Group created Gekkō’s design, anchoring the aesthetic in a luxurious yet contemporary application of graphic wall coverings, jewel tones, golden light, and natural wood accents. In total, Gekkō seats approximately 185 guests. The location occupies the northwestern ground floor portion of the SLS Lux Brickell Tower on the particularly colorful and highly Instagrammable South Miami Avenue corridor.
