Cosme is chef Enrique Olvera's acclaimed upscale Mexican restaurant in the Flatiron District, known for dishes like duck carnitas and its husk meringue tart with corn ice cream. It draws steady demand from both destination diners and reviewers, which is reflected in nearly 1,400 Yelp reviews and a reputation as one of the harder Mexican-restaurant reservations in Manhattan.
Reviews and listings indicate Cosme is a reservation-driven restaurant: reservations are described as required or strongly recommended, and walk-ins can face a wait for a table, particularly in the evening. At least one review noted that diners with a confirmed reservation were seated promptly without a line, suggesting the wait is concentrated among walk-ins and unbooked guests rather than reservation holders.
