COTE Miami

"Cote nails that classic steak and martini combo, except there’s nothing that feels particularly classic about this place. This is a good thing. Cote is a steakhouse of the future, with its sleek, dark dining room that makes you feel like you’re inside a luxurious spaceship in the year 4023. Their Proper Martini (made with your choice of gin, vodka, or both) is exactly the kind of martini we’d take aboard a spaceship to show the future population of Mars what a perfect Earth martini tasted like. The only way you can go to Cote without a reservation is during their daily Happy Hour from 5-7pm. It's only available at the standing bar and first come, first served. The menu is limited, but they have some tasty small plates exclusive to Happy Hour. Other than that, your best chance at a good weekend table is to book a month out. But they do lunch here now, and those tables are much easier to find (and the butcher’s feast is available for lunch)." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Michelin-starred, Korean steakhouse favorite Cote has a “magic hour” from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. where patrons can get dishes and Miami-themed cocktails for $8.88. Check out the chicken nuggets, Korean “bacon,” and festive drinks like the Toki-spiked Mynt, with plum and strawberry." - Missy Frederick

"This Michelin-starred New York City import has won over the Magic City with its 45-day, dry-aged beef, cooked Korean barbecue style at the table on smokeless grills. The dimly lit, date-night restaurant features high-end steaks, stiff martinis, and one of the most robust wine selections in town. The most popular order at Cote is the butcher’s feast, boasting a variety of cuts along with different vegetables and kimchi, egg souffle, two stews, rice, and soft serve. For those who want to go more high-brow, a 10-course steak omakase is available." - Juliana Accioly

"A favorite of Reilly Opelka, known for its wedge salad and steaks, located in Miami." - Edward Barsamian

"This sleek New York City import blends Korean barbecue with traditional American steakhouse atmsophere. Opt for the Butcher’s Feast ($78) featuring the chef’s favorite four cuts of meat served with a large assortment of Korean accompaniments, or the steak omakase experience ($225). Strong cocktails and an extensive wine list, that boasts a large variety of rose wines, pair well with dinner." - Eater Staff
