Pastry Cook

Gekkō is a Japanese-inspired steakhouse and lounge from the minds of Groot Hospitality’s David Grutman and the recording artist Bad Bunny.

Located in Miami’s thriving Brickell neighborhood, Gekkō immerses patrons in a fusion of elevated steakhouse surroundings with the modernity–and precision–of Japanese cuisine. Signature dishes include premium steak cuts, jaw-dropping sushi inventions, and delicious seafood appetizers. A bespoke cocktail program, an extensive wine list and bottle service offerings complement the menu.

Gekkō’s aesthetic is lush, luxe and jewel-toned. With design accents like custom wallpaper, dark and rich palettes and hints of soft golden light, the restaurant transports visitors to an intimate, rare nocturnal world. As it happens, the word “Gekkō” itself translates from Japanese to English as “moonlight.”
