Cote is a Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in Flatiron, known for pairing tableside Korean BBQ with an extensive wine program — a combination that has made it one of the more in-demand dinner reservations in Manhattan.
It is not a walk-in-line restaurant in practice: per Resy's own reporting, Cote runs on reservations and can only seat walk-ins when a last-minute cancellation opens up, and its reservation phone lines reportedly get busy enough that callers can be offered a queue or hold. The more useful strategy than showing up and waiting is booking ahead on Resy, or calling and asking about late seatings (after 10:30pm) that aren't always listed online.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
damnlines does not have a live camera at Cote yet, so we can't show a real-time wait count for this spot. That said, Cote isn't really a walk-in-line restaurant in the first place: per Resy and Yelp, it operates almost entirely on reservations, and walk-ins are only accommodated when there's a last-minute cancellation. If you don't have a reservation, expect to be turned away or asked to wait for a cancellation rather than joining a physical line.
Rarely. Reporting from Resy indicates Cote can only accommodate walk-ins if there happens to be a last-minute cancellation — it's built around advance reservations, not a walk-up line.
Reported hours are Monday-Wednesday 5:00pm-11:00pm, Thursday-Saturday 5:00pm-midnight, and Sunday 5:00pm-11:00pm.
Reservations are booked through Resy, or by calling the restaurant directly (reported reservationist phone hours are roughly noon-10pm daily). Reporting notes the phone lines get busy enough that callers are sometimes offered a queue or hold option, and that late slots (after 10:30pm) not shown online can still be available by calling.
It's a Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in Flatiron known for tableside Korean BBQ paired with an extensive, butcher-shop-style wine list — a format and reputation that's made it one of NYC's hardest reservations to land.
