“Reservations for parties up to 6 open 14 days in advance, with each new day becoming available at 10 AM.”
Ask for a late seat: 11:00 PM opens most often and 84% of openings are at 9 PM or later. For prime time on a weekend, be on Resy at 10:00 AM, 14 days ahead, or watch the date. At any moment the room is 43% open for two.
At 10:00 AM, one new date each morning, 14 days ahead, on Resy.
11:00 PM most often. 84% of openings are at 9 PM or later; prime time is 0%.
Yes. COTE 550 shows a table for two on 43% of dates; the Flatiron original is a much harder booking and has its own guide.
No. SnagRes watches the calendar and alerts you by email or text the moment a table appears. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. We never hold, resell or charge per reservation.
Less than Cote itself, and later. Across 615,490 availability checks, COTE 550 has shown a bookable table for two on 43% of the dates in its window and a table for four on 43%. Over the whole record, 54% of dates opened at some point, and we have recorded 89 release events. The night-of-week spread is narrow, from 44% of Tuesdays down to 37% of Wednesdays, so the day matters less here than the hour.
Open rate, party of two: 43%. Party of four: 43%.
Dates that opened at some point: 54%.
COTE 550 books on Resy, and a new date appears at 10:00 AM, 14 days ahead. The window rolls forward one day at a time. A 10 AM release on a two-week window is the most crowded kind, and the prime slots on a new Friday or Saturday go in the first minute; the 89 recorded openings after that are cancellations.
Release time: 10:00 AM, one new date each morning, 14 days out.
Late, more than anywhere. The slot we have seen open most often is 11:00 PM, and 84% of recorded openings fell at 9 PM or later, the highest late share of any room we track in Midtown. Another 16% came before 6 PM, and the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window accounts for 0%: nothing. Openings run from 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM.
An 11 PM Korean barbecue is a late night by design, and this room is built for it. The 7:30 is the seat that never comes back.
9 PM or later: 84%. Prime time: 0%. Before 6 PM: 16%.
Ask for a late seat, and COTE 550 is a table you can book this week on almost any night. Bring four if you can, 43% against 43%. For a prime-time weekend seat, be on Resy at 10:00 AM two weeks ahead, or watch the date and take the cancellation; that hour is the only scarce thing here.
Book on Resy. New dates appear at 10:00 AM, 14 days out.
Ask for 11:00 PM. 84% of openings are 9 PM or later.
Four does slightly better than two.
For prime time, watch the date.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches COTE 550 on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Midtown barbecue opens 84% of its tables after 9 PM and none at 7:30, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
