"A cross between a steakhouse and a Korean barbecue joint, Cote remains impossible to get into (emailing is your best bet), and there’s a reason for that.

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. Sister Coqodaq has a similar prix-fixe concept, but with gluten free fried chicken in place of steak. 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, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
