Gordon Ramsay is bringing Lucky Cat back to South of Fifth – this time with a steakhouse menu.

Lucky Cat Steak is set to open November 25 at 119 Washington Avenue, taking over the celebrity chef’s former Lucky Cat Miami space that originally had Japanese and Korean dishes and beef cooked over an open-flame robata grill.

Chef Gordon Ramsay opened Lucky Cat in Miami Beach in 2024, but it closed in August 2025.

Lucky Cat returns with a twist

The original restaurant opened in February 2024. Ramsay’s team later announced a “seasonal pause”, and the restaurant’s website still lists the Miami location as closed. The new announcement gives the address a return date and a revised menu.

“Opening Lucky Cat in 2024 showed me that this city doesn’t always want a concept designed somewhere else; it deserves a restaurant created specifically for Miami,” Ramsay says in a statement.

And that restaurant Gordon made specifically for Miami is a… steakhouse. Because apparently we don’t have enough of those.

The menu includes USDA Prime, Texas Akaushi, Japanese A5 Miyazaki, and Australian Blackmore Wagyu

Wagyu over the robata

Ramsay developed the menu with Lucky Cat executive head chef Michael Howells, putting beef at the focus of the 152-seat restaurant. The menu includes USDA Prime, Texas Akaushi, Japanese A5 Miyazaki, and Australian Blackmore Wagyu, all finished over the robata.

Sushi remains on the menu, with options like wagyu maki, scallop sashimi, and tuna and jalapeño crispy rice. Diners can also order snapper ceviche and wagyu gyoza, while the team points to black cod croquettes and wagyu bulgogi tacos as Miami influences.

Even “Gordon’s Fried Chicken” is getting a change-up. The Miami menu swaps chicken for prawns in a dish called “GFP.” Other additions include freshly rolled kimbap, yukhoe, and crispy tofu bibimbap, with mango and papaya also appearing across the menu.

“We wanted to bring the spirit of Lucky Cat to Miami Beach, while ensuring that the city influenced the food in a meaningful way,” Howells says in a statement.

Margaritas and a roll of the dice

The cocktail menu includes libations like an “Okinawa” margarita made with kumquat, Thai basil, and salted shiso air, alongside a spicy passion fruit and mango margarita.

For the “Lucky Negroni,” guests roll dice to choose their drink’s ingredients from six gins, six bitters, and six vermouths. You can leave that particular order to chance.

The restaurant also plans a late-night lounge, with dinner service Wednesday through Saturday.
