Cote Korean Steakhouse

It is very rare that my positive experience with a restaurant starts before I even walk in through the door. I had heard how difficult it can be to secure a reservation at COTE. It would be even more challenging since I was planning on dining solo. All of COTE’s tables are made for 4. Their Resy description states that for parties of 2-3 they offer two seating options, their first and last seating. Since there was no single party option, I decided to take a chance and email them. Both Al and Jennifer went above and beyond to not only get me a table for Sunday at 5, but they also showed a true sense of professionalism and made me feel welcome through their communications.

Chris was our server, extremely attentive and warm service throughout the entire meal. Steak omakase was incredible. Steak and eggs, ribeye and wagyu were amazing. The wagyu literally flooded my mouth. Only detriment was the club type music made it hard to listen to friends

Amazing steak. The drink menu, though, feels disjointed from the food. The natural choice for me would be barley tea — not drinks from the bar.
