Resy's guide to New York's toughest reservations lists COQODAQ's 14-day-out, 10am reservation drop among the hardest bookings in the city. The Infatuation's review is blunter, stating that 'for now, reservations are impossible,' while noting the restaurant is still working through an opening-year demand spike that could ease over time.
Walk-ins have a real, if lesser, path in: per The Infatuation, the 16-seat bar and high-top tables near the entrance accept walk-ins with full menu access, but that seating doesn't extend to the booth-lined main dining room, which stays reserved for advance bookings. Resy's blog adds that the outdoor patio and communal high-tops also take walk-ins, and pins the best odds at before 5pm or around 9pm.
Resy's guide also flags backup options for diners shut out entirely: a phone line (646-490-5099) and [email protected] for standard parties, plus overflow options like COQODAQ's own karaoke room 'Go Go Sing' and sister restaurants COTE 550 and Bar Chimera.
