The 10 Best Restaurants In The Design District - Miami - The Infatuation

"Cote should be on your shortlist for any sort of big, celebratory blowout dinner. Especially one you’d like to involve meat. The Korean steakhouse is excellent—both the experience and the food. The staff take turns tending to beef sizzling away on the grill located in the center of the table. You will probably end up ordering multiple rounds of the wonderful cocktails. The restaurant has a sleek design that makes you feel like you’re eating 1,000 years in the future. And when added all together, these things make Cote one of the most exciting special occasion restaurants in the city. If it’s your first time here, definitely start with the Butcher’s Feast, a $74 per person tasting menu that ends with a little cup of soy sauce caramel soft serve. 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 is 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, mariana trabanino
