COTE Miami

Walking into this restaurant literally felt like a dream. From the little details with lighting across the entire restaurant and extraordinary service to the beautiful presentation the chef's gathered on our plates, this restaurant was truly an outstanding experience. The food was beyond my worries because the waiters did absolutely everything for us. The attention to detail with the placement of our plates, constantly checking our grill for the perfect temperature of the meats and the pace of the Butcher's Feast was remarkable. Even the dry aging room put in display near the restroom was an added touch to the setting if it wasn't amazing enough. I definitely recommend this restaurant for any couples going out on a date or just a night out with some friends catching a vibe. 100/5 stars if I could!

9.1/10
Dined on 3/12/24

Despite having high expectations from our previous visits, we still left wowed. After much discussion, we raised Cote to a 9.1 -- our second highest rating thus far. Simply put, every aspect of the experience was an A+. We loved the pacing of the evening with sides coming out at different times so each bite of steak felt unique. For an appetizer, we went for the tuna tartare which was good, but the main standout is still the Butcher's Feast. The variety of different dishes, awesome quality, and volume of food is incredibly impressive for the $74 per person price tag. The service was attentive and we loved the club-like vibe (even on a Tuesday night). The cocktail offerings are strong and the parting cup of vanilla soft serve with soy caramel was a cute touch. Highly recommended.

This is a happy hour review:

Reasonably priced but delicious happy hour menu! Must try is the chicken sandwich for sure. Good and quick service and everything was super tasty!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked the reservation, but I am so happy that we went! The entire dining experience was special and we left completely stuffed!

If it's your first time, I would definitely recommend getting the butcher's feast. It's nice to not have to worry about what to order, and you get to try a variety of their items. The cut of meats were all delicious and served in the perfect order. You get unlimited banchan on the side, and they were all so tasty! I think we ate an entire garden of lettuce - all of the sauces and sides were so flavorful and tasty and I wanted to wrap them all!

The service is extremely attentive, but not in an uncomfortable, overcrowding way. There is also happy hour at the bar (standing only) where you can enjoy very reasonably priced cocktails and drinks and bar bites! I can't help but mention the miso caramel soft serve at the end - such a perfect finish to the perfect night!

One last comment I have is that you don't have to worry about your hair smelling like bbq once you leave like you might at other places - the ventilation system is insane, you can't smell anything! IYKYK :D

Cote is incredible! I've come here twice- once for dinner and once for lunch. Both times were amazing. This was actually my first Michelin experience. I was expecting it to feel a little more pretentious but I didn't get that at all. The vibe was really fun inside-- they were playing hip hop music for the most part. The waiters were super personable and gave us honest options about what they thought would be best for us.
The food was obviously amazing. The first time for dinner we did the steak omakase and the second time we did the butchers feast. One of the highlights was probably the unlimited little Korean sides of kimchi and other little salads. Personally, I think this Cote is such a good value for what you get, compared to some other restaurants in the area. So so good!

Came for Magic hour with my girl friends on Wednesday at 5:30. We thought we had to make a reservation at a table for Magic Hour but turns out its first come first serve - we wished that was more clear! Regardless we are glad it worked out and we could enjoy one of the best Mischelin deals ever.

We got all 4 dishes: rice cakes, chicken, lobster, and pork. The rice cakes and chicken were so delicious and perfectly spicy yet had the asian flavors. Our favorite was the lobster - it was so juicy and fried with spicy aioli which added a tender yet juicy flavor. Super unique! We shared a main of the wagyu kinchi rice which was so savory and delicious. all this food was so filling to split with 3 people and considering we each paid less than 100 for mischelin this was totally worth it. would def come back for magic hour!

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. This is our very first Michelin star restaurant we've ever tried. We had a reservation at 5PM on a Saturday. For parking, we ubered here from our hotel in Brickell. It was around $25 round trip. There was already a line out of the door when we arrived but moved quickly. The entrance to the restaurant was an experience in itself. We were seated right on time. Ambiance can be described as high class and elegant.

For drinks, my husband ordered the Esteban and I ordered the Chianti Classico 8 oz. His cocktail was definitely satisfactory. My wine was as expected; can't really mess up with something that comes from a bottle.

For food, we each ordered the Butcher's Feast which is $74/pp which includes four selected cuts with Korean accompaniments (including ice cream for dessert). We also added 1oz of Japanese A5 Wagyu for $32/pp. All the meats were very delicious. Our favorite meat was the A5 Wagyu. My least favorite meat was the American Wagyu, and my husband's least favorite was the USDA Prime Ribeye. The only side we didn't really care for was the egg souffle. We were a good full by the end of our meal.

Service was incredible. It was fun to watch the waiters cook the meat in front of you. A new waiter came over about every 1-2 minutes to check on our meats cooking and our table to see if anything was needed. My water cup was never empty. When we asked for more rice, they quickly brought it over.

Overall, this place lived up to our expectations of a Michelin star restaurant. Our bill including gratuity came to around $330. I'm glad to say I came here, and I do recommend for a special occasion. It will probably be awhile until I come back due to the hefty price tag.

One of the best happy hour deals in Miami. They have four food items and several drink options and they serve good portion sizes. My friends and I ordered all the appetizers and we were full by the end.

It is a standing bar but it's no big deal to me. The bartender, Kevin, was also super observant and kind.

We came here for magic hour. It's from 5-7 on the weekdays. Everything is $8.88.
We had the lobster bisque, rice cakes, and chicken.
I had a glass of wine and my plus one had a nice cocktail.
The sauces were a bit spicy on the chicken and rice cakes but for the price/location, it wasn't bad at all!

I had the chance to stop by Cote last night for a coworker's Birthday Happy Hour. As my foodie proclivities are known, I was tasked with choosing a couple of spots and with their awesome happy hour, Cote it was! Their Happy Hour - "Magic Hour" as it's known - is enjoyed standing at the cool oval bar past the pink neon entrance. Since it was on a Friday night, it was packed but nonetheless we got pretty good attention with our dishes.

I enjoyed a couple of their "Sinnerman" cocktails. Essentially a mojito, this concoction of Bacardi Ocho, St. Teresa, mint, lime & club soda was pretty well blended and had enough of a kick beyond what you'd expect for a Happy Hour drink.

Our group enjoys spicy food, and their chicken nuggets (about 8 pieces) garnished with sesame seeds and a gochujang glaze fit the bill. If you're a meat connoisseur, do like we did and check out their Korean "Bacon'' (Chicharron in Hialeah :) with a juicy heritage pork belly, topped off with a pickled jalapeno. The jalapeno give it a yummy kick, and it was tender enough to be eaten with chopsticks.

I'd definitely come by to enjoy their full sit-down menu for any upcoming special occassion!

This place is amazing. I love the design of the building it has such a modern and sexy look to it. Upon entrance we went to the bar to wait for our table to be ready and the drinks were super good. For dinner we got oysters and the butchers feast. The steak was amazing and we definitely got full from all the accompaniments
