In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor. Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

One of Miami’s most accomplished chefs, Okuwa, a master of Edomae-style sushi, reshapes tradition for a savvy audience eager for something new. Those looking for the perfect spot for a romantic date, a lunch with friends or to celebrate a special occasion, will delight in this remarkable cuisine immersed in a stunning setting created by internationally renowned designer, India Mahdavi.

For myself,sitting on the front terrace makes the experience, it’s the ambience . For dessert order the Toban Yaki , even if you don’t eat dessert. This out of all Resto’s of any type resto , is the absolute best dessert I have ever had . Far from the standard desserts that are always being pushed .

The service was terribly slow. 20 minutes plus to come & take order 15 minutes to get cocktail after placing waiter order. Then food flew out of kitchen with no rhyme or reason. Food very good. Finding waiter impossible. It was not. One of their better nights!
