COTE Miami

"The Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse’s Christmas Eve Feast of Seven Steaks includes filet mignon, 45-plus day dry-aged ribeye, American Wagyu, and Japanese A5 ribeye. Sides include Gogi Cha’s “Butcher’s Tea,” truffle butter sweet potatoes, Janchi Somyun, egg souffle, and soft serve ice cream dessert. Price: $225 per person." - Alona Martinez

"Michelin-starred, Korean steakhouse favorite Cote has a coveted magic hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. where patrons can get wines by the glass, specialty Miami-inspired cocktails for $8, and small bites for $8.88 each. The menu highlights lobster fritters, Korean bacon, and rice cake gnocchi, all meant to pair with cocktails like the Vice City, a martini made with Grey Goose, Bombay Sapphire, Noilly Pratt, and St. Germain." - Eater Staff

"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. Both the food and drinks here taste so good you’d suspect some sort of alien technology is involved. And 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." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Cote is the only Korean steakhouse in Miami, and you can watch four different kinds of American Wagyu, seven USDA prime cuts, and five A5 selections cook right in the center of the table. Although if you order all of that expect to spend somewhere around a trillion dollars. If you are, in fact, trying to go big, get the $225 per person steak omakase. But the butcher’s feast tasting menu is a little more affordable at around $74 per person. It includes four cuts that are flipped and twirled by a team more in sync than a certain boy band of a similar name. Plus, it comes with banchan, scallion salad, and a savory egg souffle. The feast finishes with a little cup of soft serve topped with soy sauce caramel—our new favorite way to end a steak dinner. And if you’re looking for a nice cabernet to compliment all that meat, you’ll find it in Cote’s 80–page wine list. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"Cote, a great Korean steakhouse in the Design District, has become quite a difficult reservation. So try your luck now, before we’re flooded with tourists looking to celebrate acquiring a piece of art that has a price tag with several commas. Dinner at the upscale Korean steakhouse is the kind of big, luxurious event that'd be fitting for that. But even if you're on more of a thrift store art budget, there's always the $74 per person Butcher’s Feast—a 90-minute performance dedicated to all things protein. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
