The neon-lit entrance hallway hits you with subwoofer bass before you've seen a single menu, which tells you exactly where the priorities lie. COTE is a Korean steakhouse in Miami's Design District, holding a Michelin star, where whole cuts of dry-aged beef are displayed like sculpture before they hit your tabletop grill. The servers know the room cold, the banchan is thoughtful, and the kimchi Wagyu paella has apparently earned its own fan club.
