A London import that doubles as an art installation—Damien Hirst sculptures, Frank Gehry fish lamps, and a crowd that treats dinner as a runway show. The caramelized black cod and robata-grilled items hold their own, but portions run small for the price, and quality can swing between excellent sushi and forgettable cooked plates. Reviews consistently rate the atmosphere five stars and the food closer to 3.5, which tells you exactly who this place is for. Dress code enforcement is inconsistent enough to frustrate, and table placement can make or break the experience—request the main room or risk being banished to a lesser section.
Must-Try Dishes:
Caramelized Black Cod with Spicy Miso, King Crab and Bone Marrow, Crispy Duck Salad

What makes it special: A London import with Damien Hirst art and Frank Gehry fish sculptures, where Asian-inspired seafood meets Miami nightlife glamour.
Who should go: Those who want memorable atmosphere alongside solid food.
When to visit: Lunch (12-4pm) for the $34 menu; avoid weekend nights unless you want the party scene.
What to order: The Black Cod and King Crab with Bone Marrow are signature for a reason—add the duck salad for texture contrast and finish with the edible zen garden dessert.
Insider tip: Happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-7pm) offers signature maki, nigiri, and cocktails at reduced prices—best value in a pricey spot.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes for an impressive, splashy date - the surrealist décor, live music, and glamorous vibe create a memorable experience. However, it gets loud and transforms into a party scene as the night progresses. Book the earliest seating (5:30pm) for better conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Very difficult - this is among Miami's most in-demand restaurants. Even with reservations, waits are common and they release your table after 10 minutes. Book through Resy weeks ahead for weekends. Be prepared for bar waits during peak times.
Is it kid-friendly? Very limited - children are only permitted for dinner bookings between 5:30pm-6:45pm. All guests must be 21+ after 7:00pm. No dedicated kids menu. Better suited for adults.
Is it good for groups? Yes - the Rainbow Reef Room offers semi-private dining for up to 22, or fully private for up to 45 seated. Packages range from $2,400 for up to 8 guests to $6,000 for 12 guests including bottle service.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - patio/outdoor dining is available. The outdoor area complements the opulent indoor spaces. Request outdoor when booking, though the interior décor is a major draw.
