About Gekko

Gekko is a moonlit Japanese steakhouse and lounge in the heart of Brickell, co-owned by David Grutman and Bad Bunny. The dramatic, dimly lit dining room sets the stage for a menu built around premium steaks, inventive sushi, and dishes like lobster dumplings, wagyu crispy rice, and skirt steak that have become local favorites.

On select evenings a lounge with a DJ and bottle service runs alongside dinner, so you can sit down to a meal and stay on for the night. Expect jewel-toned interiors, weekend crowds on Friday and Saturday nights, and menu prices starting around $100 per person for a full meal, with a smart casual dress code.

Gekko sits at 8 SE 8th St in Brickell, with valet parking on-site and a paid lot nearby, and reservations are recommended even though a wait is common.
