How to Get the Toughest Reservations in Miami

COTE Miami Design District

Michelin-starred in two cities — the Design District and original NYC outpost have many accolades between them — Cote marries the best of Korean barbecue with American steakhouse panache.

Reservations Drop: 30 days in advance at 10 a.m.

Should You Walk In? You can, but it may be tough. Walk-ins are accommodated by the maître d’ only on a cancellation basis for the entire restaurant. The team recommends arriving before 5 p.m., or swinging by around 9:30 p.m.

Must Orders: Butcher’s Feast; the crispy “Shicken” sandwich for lunch. To drink, a Pornstar Martini, or a bottle from the restaurant’s award-winning wine list.

Pro Tip: Lunch reservations or visiting during the restaurant’s Magic Hour seem easier to come by than prime time dinner reservations. The reservations team is available daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
