COTE Miami reservations open 30 days before the dining date at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. For a prime Thursday, Friday, or Saturday dinner, be ready on COTE's Resy page at the release time rather than checking later that day.
The Design District Korean steakhouse remains one of Miami's sharper reservation chases. Resy's September 2026 update still places COTE among the city's toughest tables, while the current restaurant policy adds a meaningful $50 per person penalty for late cancellations and no-shows.

The fastest answer: how to book COTE Miami
- Count back 30 days from the date you want.
- Open the official COTE Miami Resy listing before 10 a.m. Eastern.
- Choose a party of two to six and stay flexible on time.
- If Resy shows nothing, call 305-434-4668. COTE accepts phone reservations and says reservationists are available daily.
- Set Resy Notify for your preferred date, then act quickly if a cancellation alert arrives.
The exact release rule comes from Resy's current guide to Miami's hardest reservations and its interview with COTE's operations team. That COTE booking interview specifies 10 a.m. ET, removing the time-zone ambiguity that often complicates restaurant drops.
COTE's own Miami location page confirms that standard reservations cover parties of two to six. Groups of seven or more use the restaurant's events route instead of the normal Resy flow.
Which tables disappear first
Resy identifies Thursday through Saturday from 7 to 10:30 p.m. as Miami's prime times. Those are the slots to treat as a true release-time booking, especially during winter travel season and major Miami events.
Lunch is the useful pressure valve. COTE serves lunch from noon to 3 p.m. daily, and Resy says lunch reservations are generally easier than prime dinner. An early dinner or a late seating can also reduce the competition without changing the menu's central appeal.
If your date matters more than the hour, search the whole evening instead of repeatedly refreshing 7:30 p.m. A 5 p.m. or 9:30 p.m. table is still a confirmed reservation, while holding out for one narrow time can leave you with nothing.
What to do when COTE is sold out
Start with Resy Notify, but do not make it your only plan. A cancellation alert is an opportunity to book, not a held table, so speed still matters.
COTE also takes reservations by phone. Resy's operations interview says some inventory has historically been available through the phone team rather than online, making a polite call worthwhile when the Resy calendar looks empty. The official location page lists phone support and a reservations email for busy lines or requests outside regular call hours.
For a sit-down table, walk-ins are a weak fallback. COTE's current FAQ says it accommodates walk-ins only when a last-minute cancellation creates space. Resy's newer Miami guide suggests trying before 5 p.m. or around 9:30 p.m., but neither source promises a table.
Do not treat the bar as a separate walk-in guarantee. An older Resy interview described walk-in access at COTE's standing bar, but COTE's live FAQ and Resy's September 2026 Miami guide now say walk-ins depend on a last-minute cancellation. The newer guidance controls, so plan on a confirmed reservation.
Cancellation fee, late arrivals, and party size
COTE asks for at least 24 hours' notice when canceling. Its official FAQ states that a cancellation within 24 hours, or a no-show, carries a $50 per person fee.
The restaurant seats complete parties only. It also warns that late arrivals may receive an abbreviated experience so the next reservation can begin on time. With tableside grilling and multi-course formats, that is more consequential than losing a few minutes at a conventional restaurant.
Standard reservations are for two to six guests. Parties of seven to 18 use large-group dining, while the private Pineapple King room is designed for eight to 10. Do not split a large party into unrelated bookings and assume the restaurant can combine the tables.
What dinner costs in 2026
The current official COTE Miami dinner menu lists the Butcher's Feast at $82 per person. It includes four selected cuts of USDA Prime and American Wagyu beef, banchan, egg soufflé, two stews with rice, and soft serve.
The Steak Omakase is $225 per person, with an optional $110 wine pairing. À la carte cuts currently include hanger steak at $44, skirt steak at $48, dry-aged ribeye at $68, and Grand Cru Galbi at $78. Prices can change, so use these figures for planning and check the live menu before your visit.
For a first visit, the Butcher's Feast is the clearest introduction. It delivers the communal grill experience without requiring the table to negotiate a long list of individual cuts. Add-ons such as Steak & Eggs or kimchi Wagyu paella raise the final bill quickly.
Why COTE is still worth the chase
COTE combines a classic American steakhouse with Korean barbecue, placing smokeless grills at every table and cooking premium beef in front of guests. The Michelin Guide's current COTE Miami listing recognizes the restaurant with one Michelin Star.
The format is naturally social, but the reservation mechanics reward precision. Miami's wider no-show problem also gives the cancellation policy context: an October 2026 Miami New Times report highlighted OpenTable data showing the city's unusually high no-show rate. COTE's fee is restaurant-specific, not a citywide rule, but it explains why the venue protects scarce tables firmly.
COTE is at 3900 NE 2nd Avenue in Miami's Design District. The restaurant serves lunch daily from noon to 3 p.m., dinner Sunday through Wednesday from 5 to 11 p.m., and dinner Thursday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to midnight.
