🔥 What's Opening on Washington Avenue

This is not a brand-new building. Lucky Cat Steak takes over the same South of Fifth address where Ramsay's original Lucky Cat ran, and reworks it around a much bigger steak program. Beef is cooked over an open-flame robata grill, the menu mixes Japanese and Korean cooking with Latin and tropical touches, and the list runs from sushi to A5 Wagyu and dry-aged prime, according to the restaurant's official site.

Executive Head Chef Michael Howells built the menu. The bar leans on Asian-twist cocktails, and the lounge can host private events of up to 120 seated guests or 200 for a standing reception. That event side matters for staffing: buyouts and holiday parties need their own servers, bartenders and coordinators on top of the regular dinner crew.

Opening night lands the day before Thanksgiving, with Art Basel and the winter tourist season close behind. A busier runway is hard to find.

💼 The Jobs a Room Like This Runs On

Gordon Ramsay North America has not announced a headcount for Lucky Cat Steak, so we are not going to make one up. What we can tell you is what a 152-seat steakhouse with a late lounge structurally needs.

Front of house: servers, server assistants, food runners, hosts, bartenders and barbacks, plus floor managers and a beverage lead. Back of house: line cooks, a grill station that lives and dies on the robata, sushi and cold-station cooks, prep cooks, dishwashers and kitchen leadership.

Gordon Ramsay North America takes applications through its careers page. Check it for Lucky Cat Steak listings, and keep checking: new restaurants often run a second hiring round in the first two or three months once they see their real covers.

📋 How to Get Noticed at a High-End Opening

Lead with fine-dining experience. Steakhouse, sushi or hotel restaurant work belongs at the top of your resume, not buried at the bottom.
Have your Florida food handler training done. Bar staff should also have responsible-vendor alcohol training in hand.
Say yes to weekends and late nights. A Wednesday-to-Saturday dinner room with a late lounge needs people who can close.
Plan the commute. South of Fifth parking is tight and expensive. Know your bus route or MacArthur Causeway timing before your first shift.
