We came here to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the restaurant had great vibes in an excellent location. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Butcher's Feast, and the hanger steak and Wagyu steak were definitely the highlights--they were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The portions were filling, so we left satisfied. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and helped make the experience even better. While the food is on the pricey side, the quality and overall experience made it well worth the cost. I'd definitely recommend it for a special occasion or anyone looking for a great steakhouse experience. read more

Good but not great. Enjoyed the butcher's feast for lunch and left feeling very satisfied! The seasoning on the meat was done fresh before being grilled, it was inconsistent and sometimes too salty, especially paired with the ssamjang Aged rib-eye was the least impressive for me, the flavor tasted like my meat was browning, and it wasn't very tender. It had too much fat on it. Flatiron was decently good, and the marinated short rib was way too sweet. Hanger steak was my favorite among all of them. I enjoyed all 3 soups that accompanied, and noticed the kimchi stew had pork it in, which is a plus. Loved the variety of kimchi they offered. read more

COTE Miami - Korean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Not sure if the Cote Miami location has a Michelin star like it's NYC location. Our experience here didn't meet my expectations for a Michelin restaurant. At most Korean BBQ, the server cooks the meat and we were told they would do the cooking. However, at the end our server disappeared and our kalbi was a bit burnt. To the maitre credit, he saw that, took it off the grill and asked if it was okay. We said it was okay not wanting to be a pain but meat was a bit overdone. I mentioned it at the end and our maitre did take some side dishes off our bill. We had also ordered the waygu addition but our waiter must have forgot. This turned out fine because we were all full at the end. I do want to say that the sides served here was really good. The meat was good but I can't say it was the best I've ever had. Perhaps the waygu would have changed my mind. We had a group of nine people and in order to sit us all together without the private dining, they added a 5% admin fee. Overall, an okay experience but our expectations were higher. read more

Let me tell you about the time I got Michelin-starred food with a side of contempt, served in a room that looked like someone raided a mid-century furniture catalog and called it a personality. We walked in expecting -- I don't know, magic? Fire? Something that justifies the little star sticker they slap on the door like a gold medal in a participation trophy ceremony. What we got instead was a server who greeted the men at our table with all the warmth of a TSA agent who's had a long day and hates you personally. Nothing says "world-class hospitality" like being made to feel like an inconvenience the second you sit down. The room, fine, I'll give them that -- moody lighting, sleek lines, the whole seen-and-be-seen Miami thing working overtime. But atmosphere is what you build around the food, not instead of it. And the food here was the culinary equivalent of a shrug. Competent. Forgettable. The kind of "fine dining" that tastes like it was assembled by committee, everything technically correct and emotionally dead on arrival. And the Korean banchan -- look, I've eaten enough real Korean food in enough real kitchens to know when something's cosplaying as authentic. This wasn't it. It was banchan filtered through a steakhouse consultant's PowerPoint deck, all the identity sanded off to make it palatable to a room full of people expense-accounting their dinner. Which brings me to the check. Because nothing stings quite like paying premium prices for a meal that made you feel like a rounding error. You want to charge me like I'm getting the meal of a lifetime, you'd better deliver the meal of a lifetime. Instead I got mediocrity with a side of attitude, and a bill that suggested otherwise. Skip it. Save the star-chasing for a kitchen that actually gives a damn. read more

Cote has been on my radar FOR EVER. So I came here for their Miami Spice lunch, and wanted to try their fried chicken dish. The service was attentive. The decor was very Miami. The food was good, although I must say I did expect it to be more of a wow factor, than what I received. My score is 4.5. read more

12/10 experience! We had a seamless lunch here, starting with the super convenient valet right outside. The staff was incredibly welcoming & had no problem accommodating our stroller. Plus, as a parent, I was so impressed to find a changing table in the bathroom, not always a guarantee at a Michelin star spot! For a Korean BBQ restaurant, the ventilation is amazing. There was zero smoke in the air, so you don't leave smelling like the kitchen lol Everything we ate was outstanding, from the soup & salads to the full banchan spread. Having the staff cook everything at the table made it so relaxed. The drinks were also a highlight, the espresso martini & the coconut mocktail were both excellent. We will 1000% be back! read more

I would be the first to say I am not necessarily a steak connoisseur, but I absolutely loved every bite we had here! We went with the Butcher's Feast, and each cut of steak was absolutely delicious. We also got the Wagyu add-on for a bit of an extra charge, and honestly I would say it is worth it. I loved how you could completely customize each and every bite. All of the steak was soooo flavorful, and all of the vegetables were crunchy and flavorful. One of my favorite parts of the meal was also watching them cook the steak for us right at our table. Just tell them what kind of cook you want on your steak, and they will take care of the rest. As far as the approachability of this restaurant, I found it very welcoming and a really great hospitality team. Having never tried a Michelin Star restaurant before, I was worried I would be out of my element but I felt very comfortable here. They tell you how to make your bites of vegetables and recommend different flavor combinations to try. This is an AMAZING place to come on a special occasion, and the price of the meal reflects the high quality of the aged steak, and the attention to detail on each dish. Highly recommend the Butcher's Feast and a trip to come visit this restaurant. read more

4.5/5 stars rounded ups Came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. We've been to other Michelin stars and service was overall good but felt quite rushed. This is also Miami where ppl linger so it felt off. Plus we didn't see our main server David for most of our meal but everyone who rotated in was nice... some more charismatic than others. Did the butchers feast with the Wagyu add on (so worth it!) and everything was good. The Wagyu was so buttery and soft! The egg soufflé is amazing, wish the server told us how to eat all the accoutrements but when we asked we were walked through it. Drinks were solid - old fashioned, the gold standard were nice and boozy and the logo ice was a nice touch. Vibe was good and would go back for that Wagyu and soufflé alone. read more

COTE Miami - Korean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Dining at COTE Miami absolutely lived up to the hype. As the #2 Steakhouse in North America, it delivered an unforgettable experience that blended world-class cuisine with exceptional hospitality.

The Korean-inspired accompaniments elevated the meal, creating a unique dining experience that's so much more than your traditional steakhouse. Every course felt intentional, beautifully presented, and worthy of the restaurant's stellar reputation. THE SERVICE The service was flawless from the moment we arrived.

I can definitely see why it's ranked among the best in North America, and I'll be dreaming about this meal until my next reservation. read more

What stands out most about COTE Korean Steakhouse is the experience. Incredible service, amazing food, and great vibes all around. I love AYCE Korean BBQ, but having everything cooked perfectly for you hits differently. No leaving smelling like smoke --just enjoying every bite. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to. Drinks: Lychee Martini -- one was plenty for my lightweight self, but so good. Food: We did the tasting menu (highly recommend) with the A5 add-on. The Sendai Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Highlights: ** Oysters with uni to start -- creamy and rich Korean "bacon" (smoked pork belly, pickled jalapeño, Korean mustard) -- fatty goodness; I could've eaten just this Unlimited sides, all delicious (because yes, that matters) Egg soufflé -- perfectly fluffy Tofu soup -- easily could've had five bowls Vanilla soft serve with soy sauce caramel -- unexpected and amazing Bonus: They accommodated for my gluten free friend! Come hungry, leave happy. Definitely a must-try. read more

I came here for happy hour the other day, since I noticed the bar when I came here the first time for dinner. It's from 5-7pm at the bar as soon as you walk through the doors. There are no chairs, so please note that this is a stand up happy hour. The menu has a great selection of $8.88 cocktails, wine, and bites. There is also a shrimp stuffed chicken sandwich (what?? And yumm!) and the best dessert ever - the famous Cote soft serve. The Casanova's cocktail was beautiful and tasty, and the Korean chicken nuggets are a must get! The sandwich was creative and had nice authentic flavors with pickled vegetables on the side. I highly recommend the bar for a nice happy hour or for a drink before or after your meal! read more

Cote continues to be one of my favorite happy hour spots, and this visit was no exception. We ordered the chicken sandwich, lobster and shrimp fritters, chicken nuggets, and the Mynt cocktail, which is their take on an Old Fashioned. The Mynt is spectacular and has become my go-to drink every time I visit. The chicken nuggets remain one of the most reliable items on the menu. Crispy, flavorful, and impossible to regret ordering. This was my first time trying the lobster and shrimp fritters, and they absolutely delivered. They were packed with flavor and disappeared from the plate quickly. The biggest surprise was the chicken sandwich - first time ordering it. Wow. It came out piping hot from the kitchen, so definitely give it a minute to cool down before diving in. I added some of the sauce that comes with the chicken nuggets for an extra kick, and it took the sandwich to another level. Pickled veggies and cabbage on the side are also fantastic. The vibe is always one of the highlights at Cote. Great music, energy, and an overall fun atmosphere at the bar without feeling overwhelming. Service was excellent as well. Special shoutout to our bartender, Vlad, who took great care of us throughout the evening. Good food, great drinks, good vibes, and excellent service. What more can you ask for? Looking forward to next time as always. read more

Usually come to happy hour here which is great but this time we were able to snag a table last minute. I wouldn't recommend this as it's a tough reservation to get last minute but you can always try. Atmosphere is a bit louder than average with music playing. It's lively I always enjoy it. Anyways, we wanted to try a couple cuts of beef and a side so we tried the hangar steak and the filet mignon. They cook for you so you don't have to worry about ruining your steak and you'll get it exactly how you want. The filet was super tender, great quality. And was perfect when cooked rare/med rare since it's so tender. A+ The hangar steak was a big more marbled and thus we opted to have it cooked medium. This steak was also good, with a bit more of an iron/meaty flavor. I'll give it a B. For our side we ordered the COTE Bibimbap which I'd describe like a moist rice with some veggies and an egg mixed in. It was good I'd give it a A-. Great service as you'd expect as well. Great for a special occasion or if you feel like splurging. Enjoy! read more

This place is amazing! If you like KBB (Korean BBQ) this needs to be added to your list of places to try and near the top. Place is an experience with everything from the ambience, service, and of course the food. Plenty of options and definitely will go back to try more. Started with a wedge salad which may have been the greatest wedge salad I ever had. Wife and I did the butchers feast which was. Perfect sampling of meats and was more than enough food. All in all, will definitely be going back anytime we are in Miami. read more

Dining at COTE was a phenomenal experience. My wife and I visited for dinner a couple weeks ago. Upon arriving we were directed to a central standing bar area while our table was being prepared (we did have reservations). While we waited, we had a couple of cocktails. I had the Gold Standard and my wife had the Velvet Ember. The Gold Standard was fantastic with a honey sweetness, tangy lemon and rich bourbon. Once seated our server recommended an a la cart approach to the Butcher's Feast which included four different types of steaks and a variety of sides. We had the NY Strip, Filet Mignon, COTE Galbi and a Japanese A5 Wagyu. Even though this is a Korean BBQ restaurant and the grills were at the table, the servers cook the food for you in order to have the steaks grilled to your liking. All of the steaks were super juicy, perfectly medium rare with a hint of salt. The Japanese Wagyu was definitely worth the upcharge and literally caramelized as you ate it exploding with rich beefy flavor. The sides of Scallion Salad, Red Leaf Lettuce, Egg Souffle, and Kimchi were all delicious and paired well with the steak. We also added a side of the Kimchi Wagyu "Paella". This dish had rich savory rice and diced tender steak. Finally, at the end of the meal, we were served a creamy and sweet Vanilla Soft Serve. Overall, dining at COTE was a memorable experience and I highly recommend a visit. read more

Great food and service! Our 1st time here and was lunch super delicious! We had the wedge salad which is the best we've had and would def come back just for it. Then we did the Butchers Feast for $82pp and it very yummy, the chefs choice of 4 meats were on point and all the sides were delicious and more than enough for us both! The service was great, they explained the meats background and grilled for us, everyone was super helpful and kind. We will def be back read more

This restaurant is significantly overpriced for the experience it delivers. Our party of three all participated in the Butcher's Feast menu, and the total bill came to well over $400. For that price point, we expected a much higher level of quality and service. While some of the meat was flavorful, many of the cuts were excessively fatty to the point that we left a significant portion of them uneaten. When you're paying premium prices at a restaurant of this caliber, you expect well-balanced, high-quality cuts--not plates filled with more fat than meat. The sides were even more disappointing and, in some cases, downright unappetizing. In fact, the best side we had was the white rice--and it wasn't even fresh, which says a lot about the overall quality. The drinks were also overpriced and ultimately forgettable. Even dessert was disappointing. A simple cup of vanilla ice cream felt unimaginative and underwhelming, especially considering the cost of the overall dining experience. For a restaurant positioning itself as a high-end destination, the meal lacked the creativity and refinement one would expect. Unfortunately, the service did little to improve the experience. Our waiter, Geraldo, appeared visibly annoyed whenever we asked questions about the menu and seemed frustrated that we weren't interested in ordering excessive amounts of alcohol at what is supposed to be a fine-dining establishment. Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and I will not be returning. I'm not sure what qualifies a restaurant for a Michelin star, but based on this visit, this certainly did not feel deserving of that distinction. Between the excessively fatty meat selections, mediocre sides, overpriced drinks, uninspired dessert, and poor service, the experience simply did not justify the price. Hard pass on COTE. read more

Great service, everyone was very warm and friendly. The ones who serve for bbq, they will explain everything on the menu and order.

Way more than enough for us. Every meat cut was delicious. read more

Cote Miami is better than the NYC location that I have been to. The service, vibes, and the food are all top notch. My girlfriend and I ordered the butchers feast and we had a few cocktails. The service was great and our server cooked the meat to perfection. I highly recommend going here... but remember that it will likely ruin KBBQ for you since it's such an amazing experience with meats that are full of marbling. I recommend making a reservation and ordering the butchers feast if it is your first time. read more

Not as good as Nubiani in NYC, and more catered for the Miami party scene. Banchan selection was mediocre; the green onion side dish was smothered in a thick, sweet sauce that my korean boyfriend said reminded him of Panda Express orange chicken, but for kbbq. Butcher's Feast for two was $200 after mandatory 20% gratuity. Overall did not blow us away and was honestly subpar in terms of meat quality and side dish variety. Service was just OK. There was a whole menu with a lot of pages dedicated to cocktails and drinks, which are made at the bar in the center of the restaurant. It's dark and clubby inside. Definitely prefer other alacarte korean bbq places over COTE. This experience was not enticing enough for us to try their other locations unfortunately. read more

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It's a no brainer as to why this place has 4.5/5 stars, completely well-deserved! So, I've been meaning to check this place out for a little while now and haven't gotten around to it. And, honestly all I have to ask myself is what was wrong with me? I should've come by sooner. I came for Happy Hour and I stayed well past that. This place may have just become my go-to for after-work gettys! Here is the rundown: Location and Parking- Conveniently located in a great corner spot that you can't miss with plenty of parking with street parking, garage parking right around the corner, and valet options down the street on the same side. Ambiance- Immaculate from the moment you enter, a doorman opens it for you. Then you're greeted by the hostess table to the right. If you're just entering for Happy Hour, you can just go straight to the bar, but otherwise, you definitely need a reservation especially if you plan on staying for dinner. $8.88 Happy Hour Drinks- Love the price #1, it's considered a lucky number in Asian culture (fun fact). But anywho, the drinks were great! $8.88 Happy Hour Appetizers- Tried one of each, four in total. They were all good, but my favorite would have to be between the crispy chicken nuggets (korean style) and the lobster bites. Staff- Major kudos to Oli (head bartender) and Vlad, they were so accommodating, friendly and just a phenomenal representation of Cote. Cote is lucky to have them! Not to mention, the rest of the staff were super friendly as well. I think it goes without saying that no matter how good the food and drinks are, it's nothing without the staff. The staff is what creates the experiences and moments. Hospitality 101! I'll be back for Happy Hour then stay for dinner, time to book a reservation! read more

It's worth the hype! If it's your first time, I think the best way to go is with the Butcher's Feast at $78 per person. It comes with 4-5 different cuts of meat and various Korean sides. All meats are cooked to perfection (you don't cook yourself) and I don't have a favorite because they're all delicious. My favorite side dish is the seaweed salad. As for service and ambiance, you can't go wrong with top service and a dim vibe read more

-- FOOD -- Probably the best Kbbq I've ever had for the price! We ordered the Butcher's feast and we had more than enough food. I usually don't like non-marinated meats, but the cuts of meat here were so juicy and flavorful I didn't even notice they weren't marinated! The side dishes provided were amazing and they offered a bigger variety than most upscale Korean BBQ restaurants. -- SERVICE -- Our server was super helpful when recommending his favorite cuts on the menu and guiding on how much meat we should order for 2 people and best drink pairings for our meal. He grilled all of the meat to perfection, and cut all pieces into bite sized morsels! -- AMBIANCE -- Absolutely beautiful interior from the entranceway to the bathrooms. Super clean and tables were a suitable distance from each other so even though it was busy, it didn't feel too crowded and it was easy to carry a conversation at our table. read more

I have been to Cote several times but this is my first time reviewing. We usually always have exceptional service at the bar and table, this last visit, however, the sommelier was not on point. I ordered a glass of the Billecart-Salmon Brut and was poured, however I was not offered a taste. Also - there were very minimal bubbles (flat) & tasted subpar leading me to believe the bottle had been open for a while. I told the bartender the champagne was not acceptable and she asked me if I was given a taste and I was not offered one. We were then seated and the same sommelier appeared with a fresh bottle, gave me a considerably smaller pour and when I inquired about the tasting, she said that the champagne was preserved by coravin and therefore did not require a taste?? Clearly this bottle was fresh, however, had I been given the opportunity to taste the first glass we would have avoided the awkward, awful 2nd encounter. On to the food - always delicious - we always get the Butcher's Feast which is more food than you could possibly eat. Love the ambience - unfortunately the sommelier started the evening off on the wrong foot for an establishment that usually exceeds expectations. read more

Dinner at Cote Miami was bar none. We got the butcher's feast, and while we originally thought we'd both easily eat all the food offered, we were sorely mistaken. From the Wagyu to the Short Rib, everything was cooked to perfection by the staff, extremely tender, and juicy. From the moment we walked in, we noticed the purposeful and intricate layout of the restaurant.

Miami Spice and everything nice! So glad to have caught the lunch offering during Miami Spice. This is the only time they offer their fried chicken on the menu and it is divine. That and the truffle shrimp salad! I thoroughly enjoyed them both. We also had the Korean short rib on the grill with all the sides. It was good. Def not anything crazy. To end things off, that spy vanilla soft serve was delish! The wait staff was very attentive and on top of Things. I wish other establishments mimicked that.

Food is always 10/10 here. I've been here a few times and I can say that the food is consistently the best and always top notch here. I can always count on a great meal with all the flavors that I love and crave when I think of Korean barbecue. This time, I came for the AMEX platinum resy night and it was a cute surprise with the fruit platter and branded pen/coaster. This place is popular though, Miami traffic is no joke, we were 15 min late and they gave our table away. Understandable, I guess? I have mixed feelings about this. They said another table became available later but we only had one hour to eat. Which is fine but I think the delivery could have been better on this. Ambiance is sophisticated, dark lighting and chic vibes. Service was great, I do love how they cook everything for you. Plenty of food and soooo yummy. Love it. We got the butchers feast and some oysters with Uni on top. The only thing here is that they did not separate the oysters and there was a lot of shell in it, so that wasn't my favorite but the barbecue part is definitely a hit. I recommend the butcher feast. Plenty of food. read more

Came here for dinner last night with a group of 10, and had a great time. The restaurant has a really cool vibe, with a great bar area you can grab a drink at while you wait for your table. We had a private room (which I highly recommend for a large party) set up in the back of the restaurant. Service was fantastic here, everyone from our host to our servers were so friendly and attentive, making for such a welcoming and fun experience. We had a pre fixed menu that included a variety of steaks and appetizers, including a wedge salad and seafood tower. The meat was excellent, the filet mignon and Japanese A5 wagyu were my standout favorites. I think I would've skipped the paella if it didn't come with the menu, as it was a bit too rich for me (not a paella guy in general). I also wish they were a bit more generous with the side dishes, especially the kimchi. Overall this was a really great experience that was made memorable by the service and the quality of meat. I think there were some slight misses that prevent me from giving this 5 stars, but it's absolutely worth a visit if you're in town. 4.6/5 read more

Where to start. From the ambiance to the service and food, Cote nailed the concept of an upscale Korean BBQ experience. Quality meat cooked for you to your liking right at your table, it's truly a unique and spectacular experience. If it's your first time I recommend getting the butchers feast, it's both a good sample of their meats AND won't break the bank compared to other menu experiences. The butchers feast comes with a TON of sides and a soft serve dessert that's perfect to end the meal. Pictures on my post below. The drinks are PHENOMENAL so any will satisfy.

The restaurant itself is very hushed and eclectic. The service was generally attentive although our server was a bit too overzealous for our dinning occasion and somewhat unprofessional. As for our food, we ordered the butcher's feast ($74 per person) with the addition of A5 Wagyu (+32). I really enjoyed the meat, but it felt like what you would expect for the price. As for the sides, the stews were very tasty, the kimchi is great, the pickled radish was also really good. Apart from that, nothing else was very memorable. The mushroom and rice cake felt very bland. The soft serve was a great way to finish our meal, it came with a very tasty caramel sauce. You will definitely enjoy your food, but given the price and the expectation for a Michelin restaurant I don't think it lives up to the expectation. read more

Came for the first day of Miami spice with a few friends. Overall we loved the friendly and quick service. I ordered the steak tartare and fried chicken. I think there could have been a bit more seasoning in the tartar especially being that the crispy chip didn't have flavor. Maybe one or the other! It was great that they asked for feedback at the end of our meal cuz they wanted to get it right for their 2 months of Miami spice. I appreciate when restaurants care to hear from their customers and try to implement changes to make our experience better. The restaurant itself is fun and funky at the entryway with the mirror and once you walk in it feels so luxurious, calm and sexy. We are definitely coming back to try the butchers special. read more

I'm going to say this is a 3.5 rounded to a 4. For context, I'm coming at this review as a Korean who's dined at many KBBQ spots in both Korea and Koreatown, LA (where I'd argue has the best KBBQ scene in the world). I've also tried Cote in NYC. First off, the vibes are definitely very Miami but in a good way imo - dark and moody ambiance, bumping music, and neon signage. I liked the entranceway and the bar inside as well. Service was pretty good - nothing good or bad to say about it. They were nice and grilled the meats nicely, but not as superb as I would expect compared to other Michelins I've visited in the past. The food at Cote is also solid. Of course, the meat quality is going to be 10/10. However, some of the banchan and sides paled in comparison to the average Korean restaurant I've been to. Overall, for those who've had very little exposure to KBBQ, I could see how this could be a very revolutionary dining experience, especially in Miami. read more
