A Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the Design District that brings the Korean barbecue format into fine-dining territory with USDA Prime cuts dry-aged in-house and grilled tableside on smokeless charcoal grills. The butcher's feast tasting menu is the centrepiece — a progression of cuts from hanwoo-style beef to wagyu, each with a specific Korean banchan pairing that transforms the grilled meat into something more complex than any American steakhouse achieves. The space is sleek and modern, the service precise, and the soju-cocktail programme surprisingly excellent. Chef Simon Kim brought the concept from his New York original, and the Miami location has arguably surpassed it in ambition.

Insider Intel

Must Try

The Butcher's Feast tasting menu for the full experience — multiple courses of premium cuts, banchan, and steak accompaniments. If ordering a la carte, the dry-aged prime galbi and the wagyu. The egg souffle is a signature starter. Korean fried chicken as an appetiser. The soju cocktail programme is more interesting than the wine list for this food.

Best Time

Weeknight dinner from 7pm for the full experience without the weekend crowd. The Design District location means you can walk the galleries and public art before dinner. Weekend reservations fill weeks ahead. The bar is available for walk-ins and serves the full food menu.

Know Before You Go

Reservations essential, especially weekends — book via Resy well in advance. Michelin-starred, so expect Michelin pricing ($150-250 per person for the tasting menu). The tableside grills are part of the experience. The Design District location between Wynwood and Little Haiti makes it a natural anchor for an evening that starts with art. Valet parking available.
