Miami's dining scene is constantly evolving, but every so often, a restaurant introduces an experience that feels truly special. This July, Niño Gordo in Wynwood is doing just that with the launch of Rum, Fire & Feast, an exclusive dinner series that brings together live-fire cooking, expertly crafted cocktails, and an unforgettable family-style meal.
Created in collaboration with renowned cocktail expert and @ChatChowTV creator Gio Gutierrez, this limited-edition experience is designed for those who appreciate bold flavors, creative mixology, and immersive dining. If you're looking for one of the most unique food events happening in Miami this summer, this is one to reserve before it sells out.
The evening doesn't begin in the dining room—it starts behind a hidden door.
Guests are welcomed into Dekotora, Niño Gordo's intimate speakeasy-style bar, where the first cocktail of the night sets the tone for the experience ahead. It's an inviting introduction that immediately transports guests away from the bustle of Wynwood and into a more intimate setting.
From there, everyone gathers around the table for a family-style dinner that celebrates the restaurant's signature approach to cooking: Argentine live-fire techniques infused with bold Asian flavors.
It's the kind of meal that's meant to be shared, encouraging conversation as each course arrives.
Niño Gordo has built a reputation as one of Miami's most exciting restaurants by blending Argentine traditions with Japanese and Asian influences, and this special menu highlights exactly why.
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy thoughtfully curated dishes including Hamachi Crudo, delicate Shiitake Dumplings, an exclusive off-menu Mollejas course, perfectly cooked Prime Steak, and the restaurant's signature Miso Flan for dessert.
Every plate reflects the balance of smoke, texture, acidity, and bold seasoning that has made Niño Gordo a favorite among Miami food lovers.
Of course, the cocktails are just as important as the food.
Each dinner includes four custom cocktails created by Gio Gutierrez, carefully paired to complement every stage of the meal.
Guests can enjoy the return of the crowd-favorite Papaya Daiquiri, alongside the refreshing Club Náutico, the tropical Jungle Bird, and the debut of Burnt Offering—Gio's newest creation featuring Santa Teresa 1796 Rum with notes of banana, coffee, and cracked black pepper.
Even after the dinner series concludes, Burnt Offering will remain on Niño Gordo's cocktail menu throughout July, giving guests another reason to stop by.
Unlike traditional restaurant service, Rum, Fire & Feast is intentionally limited, creating a more personal experience for everyone at the table.
The evening begins with a welcome cocktail at 6:30 p.m. inside Dekotora before dinner starts at 7 p.m. Guests can attend on July 8, July 15, or July 29, with each event offering the same thoughtfully curated menu and cocktail pairings.
At $150 per person, the experience includes every course along with the complete cocktail pairing, making it an excellent choice for date nights, celebrations, or anyone looking to discover one of Miami's most exciting culinary events.
Known for its colorful murals, creative energy, and ever-growing collection of innovative restaurants, Wynwood has become one of Miami's top destinations for food lovers.
Experiences like Rum, Fire & Feast showcase exactly why. Rather than simply serving dinner, Niño Gordo creates an evening centered around storytelling, craftsmanship, and connection through food and drink.
If you're looking to elevate your summer dining plans, this limited-edition series deserves a place on your calendar.
