About Gekko

Gekko is a Japanese-inspired steakhouse and lounge tucked into Miami's Brickell neighborhood, co-owned by entertainment mogul David Grutman and global superstar Bad Bunny. Established in 2021, the restaurant draws on its namesake — the Japanese word for moonlight — to create a jewel-toned, dramatically lit interior that blurs the line between fine dining and nightlife.

The menu centers on premium steaks including A5 Wagyu and peppercorn-crusted NY strip, alongside inventive sushi, lobster dumplings, wagyu crispy rice, and a crispy snapper that regulars rave about. Signature cocktails and an extensive wine list round out the experience.

Priced at $100+ per person, Gekko is unmistakably upscale, drawing a crowd of Miami locals, tourists, and celebrity regulars alike. With a separate lounge featuring top DJs and VIP bottle service, the venue transitions seamlessly from elevated dinner destination to one of Brickell's most vibrant late-night experiences.

Reservations are strongly recommended.
