"Still busy, after all these years. Cote, a cross between a steakhouse and a Korean barbecue joint, remains impossible to get into, and there’s a reason for that. The quality of the beef is fantastic, and the $78 prix fixe, while not cheap, is a great deal for what you get. Called the “Butcher’s Feast,” the set meal comes with banchan, egg soufflé, two different stews, four cuts of steak, soft serve, and more. In the context of a dark, clubby room with neon accents, it makes for a fun night out. Especially with a piña colada or magnum of Champagne on your table. Reservations are released online 30 days in advance at 10am. Walk-ins aren’t accepted, but you can call for a reservation, and we’ve been told it’s easier to get a table that way." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
