What people say, in short
Cote is recommended across its New York restaurants, with repeated enthusiasm for the Butcher's Feast as a different approach to steak dinner. The steak omakase produces a sharper split: some praise it, while others find the portions or quality insufficient for the cost. Booking difficulties recur, and one suggestion specifically names the Rockefeller-area outlet.

Not hype; worth splurging on the Butcher's Feast and steak and eggs, with a fun club vibe.
- Recommendsu/cambiumkx in r/FoodNYC · Jan 2025value
Set menu with meat and banchan plus shared apps fits under budget.
- Recommendsu/immiz182 in r/FoodNYC · Dec 2023taste
Their steak omakase and steak preparation are outside the commenter's skill.
- Caveatu/permateal in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025value
One diner was unimpressed, calling it overpriced Korean barbecue with a strange club atmosphere and naming other barbecue spots they prefer.
- Recommendsu/pm_toss in r/FoodNYC · Dec 2023
Not a big steak fan but the omakase impressed them; wants to return.
- Mixedu/droidization in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025taste
The meat was good but the banchan disappointed; the atmosphere was nice and the meal fun overall.
- Recommendsu/ab216 in r/FoodNYC · Oct 2025

Butcher's Feast is a great deal with clearly higher quality meat than typical KBBQ.

Says they loved Cote as a contemporary steakhouse option.
- Recommendsu/superturtle48 in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025value
One of the better Michelin deals with high-quality food and service, though less novel if experienced with KBBQ.
- Recommendsu/DC25NYC in r/FoodNYC · Sep 2026
Says there is a Cote location near Rockefeller in answer to a steakhouse request
- Mixedu/BartBeachGuy in r/FoodNYC · Jan 2025wait time
Reservations nearly impossible at reasonable dinner hour without status.

Suggests Cote for something trendier.
- Recommendsu/DinerEnBlanc in r/FoodNYC · Jan 2024
Not traditional but says COTE should be considered.
- Recommendsu/Lazy_Document_7104 in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025
Would pick Cote over Minetta, though it exceeds the stated budget.
- Recommendsu/JuZNyC in r/FoodNYC · Jan 2025wait time
Easy for larger parties; never had trouble getting same-day four-person reservations.
- Recommendsu/Zealousideal_Green92 in r/FoodNYC · Apr 2026
Lists Cote among suggested dinner spots.
- Caveatu/KetchupChipsInBed in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025
Agrees Cote is not worth the time and money, especially for a Bay Area visitor.
- Recommendsu/PeepingPentagon in r/FoodNYC · Jan 2025value
Fantastic value fitting budget with variety and luxury feel.
- Caveatu/theBrotacus in r/FoodNYC · Jan 2025price
The set price before tip already strains a budget without apps or drinks, so this diner advises steering clear.
- Mixedu/yoshiee in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025portion
A la carte price gouging and average portions; quality mixed, though Miyazaki was sublime.
- Caveatu/Manor4548 in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025service
Refuses to go because tables of two only get very early or very late seatings.
- Recommendsu/trojanusc in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025value
Great; Butcher's Feast with add-ons is far better value than the overpriced omakase.
- Caveatu/lurkingforlife8 in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025price
Disappointed given the price; the omakase did not justify its cost and no plans to return.

- Recommendsu/lightstarangelnyc in r/FoodNYC · Feb 2025
Worth it for a milestone birthday with the big Butcher's Feast; noisier than expected but delicious.
