Last night, Gekkō — the brainchild of famed recording artist Bad Bunny and hospitality legend David Grutman — opened its doors.

There’s no doubt that Gekkō is setting the mood in the Brickell neighborhood; with the name translating from Japanese to English as “moonlight,” Gekkō is a moody, luxurious dining destination that transports its guests into an intimate, rare nocturnal world. The Japanese-inspired steakhouse and bourgeois lounge fuses classic elements of a steakhouse with the modernity–and precision–of Japanese cuisine, ultimately creating a diverse menu. Standout dishes include premium steak cuts, jaw-dropping sushi inventions, and delicious seafood appetizers, complemented with a bespoke cocktail program and extensive wine list.

To give Gekkō a warm Miami welcome, Grutman and Bad Bunny hosted quite a star-studded affair, with guests arriving on a red carpet upon entering the new lavish dining destination. From Miami’s latest couple to move down South, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, to Miami staples like DJ Khaled and Devon Windsor, it was a dazzling opening night. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Groot Hospitality opening without David and Victoria Beckham

Also, it is no coincidence that the event occurred under the last super moon of 2022, embodying the sultry appeal of Gekkō. Guests indulged in sushi and steak bites followed by dessert from the exclusive cookie brand, Last Crumb, as DJs Zack Bia and Mario Duran provided a fitting soundtrack throughout the evening. Other notable attendees included Isabela Grutman, Future, Karol G, Lil Wayne, Michael Bay, Timbaland, and more.

If the opening is any indication, Gekkō is destined to be the latest haute spot in Miami.
