COTE Miami

COTE is a MICHELIN-starred Korean steakhouse in the Miami Design District, the southern outpost of the New York original that fused the Korean barbecue tradition with the American steakhouse. The result is one of Miami’s most exciting special-occasion restaurants, sleek, dark and designed for celebration.

The room is moody and glamorous, all low light, leather and gleaming tabletop grills, with a buzzy bar and an impeccably dressed crowd. Servers grill prime cuts at your table, turning dinner into a hands-on, theatrical experience that builds its own momentum through the night.

The signature is the Butcher’s Feast, a guided tasting of premium and dry-aged cuts grilled tableside, served with banchan, stews and the restaurant’s famous accompaniments. The wine and soju lists are deep, and the whole experience is as much about ritual as it is about the beef.

COTE is ideal for couples, groups and anyone marking an occasion; it is expensive and energetic rather than quiet. Order the Butcher’s Feast and book well ahead, as it is one of the District’s hottest tables. About a fifteen-minute drive from the residence, it pairs well with a night out in the Design District.
