COTE, the MICHELIN-starred and James Beard Award-nominated KOREAN STEAKHOUSE™ and vision of proprietor Simon Kim, unveiled in Miami’s Design District in February 2021. The 5,892-square-foot restaurant emulates its flagship, high-energy New York City-based locale synonymous with marrying the fun and fire of Korean barbeque with the hallmarks of a classic, regal American steakhouse. The result is a unique and convivial atmosphere infusing a fine dining experience with world-class ingredients and service complemented with a show-stopping beverage program. Under the helm of executive chef David Shim, COTE’s signature menu items include 45-day, USDA prime dry-aged beef; nutrient and probiotic-rich side dishes; a Butcher’s Feast® featuring chef’s favorite four selected cuts of meat served with an assortment of Korean accompaniments; and an elevated Steak Omakase™ experience. The sleek 100+ seat dining room is designed to create an intimate, interactive experience for guests with smokeless state-of-the-art tabletop grills at every table. Elevated design details include an elaborate dry-aging room and two private dining rooms. COTE’s thoughtful 1200+ label wine list was nominated for “Outstanding Wine Program” two consecutive years in a row by the James Beard Foundation, under the direction of beverage director, Victoria James and also awarded Florida Sommelier. The brand’s unwavering standard for excellence earned a place in the 2022 MICHELIN Guide Florida Star Revelation. This new distinction recognizes the COTE brand for being one of the only two restaurants in the United States with MICHELIN stars in multiple cities.
