COTE – New York

In the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron District, COTE has redefined what a modern steakhouse can be. Combining the elegance and rigour of a classic American meat temple with the communal fire and finesse of Korean barbecue, this gastronomic powerhouse delivers a dining experience that’s as theatrical as it is refined.

Since its opening, COTE has drawn global attention—not only for its sleek interior and vibrant atmosphere—but for its deep commitment to exceptional beef. In 2025, it stands as one of New York’s most dynamic steak destinations, with a steady presence in the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants and a cult following that spans continents.

At the heart of the restaurant’s concept is the in-table smokeless grill, a nod to Korean tradition, but elevated by chef-level precision. Guests are invited to experience curated cuts of USDA Prime, American Wagyu and A5 Japanese Miyazaki, all dry-aged in-house in a state-of-the-art ageing room. Each piece is grilled tableside by trained staff, ensuring consistent perfection in doneness, crust and temperature.

The signature Butcher’s Feast offers a guided journey through COTE’s finest offerings—starting with banchan, house-made kimchi and pickled seasonal vegetables, before moving through an exquisitely balanced progression of beef. It’s communal, interactive and deeply satisfying—bringing the warmth of Korean hospitality into sharp focus.

But COTE is more than show. The attention to detail across the board is uncompromising. From the marbling of a single cut to the expertly curated wine list and cocktail programme, everything is executed with the precision of fine dining. The restaurant’s sleek, low-lit interior hums with energy - equal parts high-design lounge and smoky, bustling Korean grill house.

Behind the vision is Simon Kim, the Korean-American restaurateur who has built COTE into a brand of global influence, with offshoots in Miami, Singapore and beyond. His ability to fuse cultures without compromise has helped position COTE as not just a great steak restaurant, but a genre-defining dining experience and our best steak restaurant in North America.

In 2025, COTE remains one of New York’s most compelling meat-driven destinations. It’s a place where technique meets fire, where East meets West and where every table becomes its own private grill-side celebration.
