What people say, in short
Diners mostly recommend Cote in the Design District, with repeated praise for the food and service. Two name the Butcher's Feast, two recommend the steak paella, and one diner specifically praises the minuta and steak tartare. Three commenters call it overrated, and others question its value, meat portions or appeal to experienced Korean-barbecue diners. Two feel it is not unique to Miami. A fan recommends it to locals rather than visitors, while another diner reports average sides and disappointing service. The positive balance does not erase those reservations.
