Cote Miami

Every penny spent at the New York City-based, Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse is worthwhile. Cote brings together the delicacy and heart of a traditional Koren BBQ pit with the sophisticated dining experience of a high-end steakhouse, bringing it all together in a well-appointed room highlighted by blue-chip artwork because, well, why not? Cote, which has won numerous awards, gained notoriety for offering 45-day dry-aged beef, which customers can view from behind glass in the red light dry-aging area.

To remind you of the quality of Cote, each table has a custom, smokeless charcoal grill where skilled employees prepare different pieces of meat for you. For less than $60 per person, the Butcher's Feast tasting experience is a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of the restaurant's best dishes. The 10-course steak omakase, however, is always available for a delectable deep dive.

• What is it? The Miami outpost of this Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse from New York City is every bit worth the splurge—and splurge you will.

• Why we love it? Cote brings a new level of dining experience to Miami, one that’s upscale but approachable and with a high-end menu that’s still got plenty of heart. The tables are equipped with smokeless charcoal grills, where servers cook your dry-aged beef for you. Lest you forget the caliber of the restaurant, there’s no chance you’re going home smelling like you’ve been on the ‘cue yourself. (We can’t say the same about other Korean barbecue joints we’ve frequented.) First time? The Butcher’s Feast tasting experience is a great way to sample the restaurant’s heavy hitters for an accessible $64 per person. It’ll leave plenty of room in the budget to savor one of the excellent craft cocktails, such as the Esteban, a super smooth mezcal negroni.
