“Reservations for parties up to 6 open 30 day in advance with each new day becoming available at 10 AM.”
Cote releases tables on Resy 30 days ahead at 10 AM, one new date each morning, as its own Resy listing states. At our last check a table for two showed on 0% of dates and a table for four on 93%, but prime time almost never comes back, so a 7:30 table takes the drop or a text the moment one opens.
Be at the 10:00 AM drop if you need a conventional hour, book as four rather than two, aim midweek, and take the late seating. A two-top was open on 0% of the dates in the current window and a four-top on 93%, so flexibility on the hour usually finds you a table.
Yes. Cote books on Resy only, and that is the calendar we check: 578,868 times so far. COTE 550 in Midtown East is a separate Resy listing with its own shorter window.
Cote is hard at prime time and open the rest of the night. A two-top was open on 0% of the dates in the current 30-day window and a four-top on 93%. But across 296,926 open-slot samples, the share between 7:00 and 8:30 PM rounds to 0%.
Because in 296,926 open-slot samples the share between 7:00 and 8:30 PM rounds to 0%. That window is claimed at the 10:00 AM release and returns only as a cancellation. What stays open is the end of the night: 11:00 PM is the most frequently open slot, and 80% of open slots were 9:00 PM or later.
Yes, and that is unusual. A four-top was open on 93% of dates in the window while a two-top was open on 0%. Cote is a Korean steakhouse where the grilling is shared across the table, so the room seats fours all evening. Lilia runs the opposite way, at 63% for a two-top and 33% for a four-top.
Wednesday, where 50% of our checks found an open table, against 14% on Friday, the hardest night. At COTE 550 in Midtown East, Tuesday is the easiest at 44% of checks. Moving the night is the cheapest thing you can do at either room.
Cote is the Flatiron original, releasing 30 days ahead at 10 AM, with a two-top open on 0% of dates and a four-top on 93%. COTE 550 in Midtown East releases 14 days ahead at 10 AM, with 43% for a two-top and 43% for a four-top. Both are on Resy.
Usually yes, which is not true of a 0% room. Because something was open on 0% of dates for two and 93% for four, there is often still a table later in the window if you will move your hour or your night. For the prime-time slots that really are gone, a cancellation alert is the only reliable path left.

Cote releases new reservation dates on Resy 30 days ahead at 10 AM, New York time. That comes from the restaurant's own Resy listing, which states that reservations for parties of up to six open 30 days ahead with each new day becoming available at 10 AM, and our measurement agrees on the hour: we have logged 86 release events across 55 observation days.
Our own reading of the calendar stops a day or two short of 30, because a restaurant counts today as day one and a calendar reader does not. Neither number is wrong, and the practical answer is to check on both mornings if you are unsure by a day. We publish the restaurant's number, since that is the one they will give you if you call.
The window rolls forward a day at a time, which means one moment each morning when a date that was out of reach yesterday becomes bookable. Have Resy open before 10:00 AM with your party size already chosen, because at Cote the party size you pick changes your odds more than almost anything else you can do, and fiddling with it after the drop costs you the seconds that matter.
The Flatiron Korean steakhouse books on Resy only, so there is no second platform where a hidden table might be sitting. We have run 578,868 availability checks against its calendar, part of 61,530,416 checks across the 284 restaurants we follow. Watching a short list closely is what makes it possible to say when one room opens and what it opens with, rather than listing a restaurant and hoping.
Cote is gettable, and by a wider margin than its reputation allows. A two-top was open on 0% of the dates in the current 30-day window, 0 dates, and a four-top was open on 93%, 28 dates. At our last reading 39 of the restaurants we track sat at 0% for a two-top, where a table is taken within minutes of appearing. Cote is not one of them.
The night still matters. Wednesday is the easiest at Cote, with 50% of checks finding a table, and Friday is the hardest at 14%. That spread inside the same week is the cheapest adjustment available to anyone whose dinner can move.
So the difficulty at Cote is not the date. It is the hour, and the hour is where a 0% number stops being reassuring and starts being misleading if nobody breaks it down for you.
A two-top was open on 0 of the next 30 dates, or 0%.
A four-top was open on 28 of the next 30 dates, or 93%.
Wednesday is the easiest night, with 50% of checks finding an open table.
Friday is the hardest, at 14% of checks.
The reading rests on 578,868 availability checks against Cote's calendar.
Because it almost never comes back. Across 296,926 open-slot samples at Cote, the share that fell between 7:00 and 8:30 PM rounds to 0%. That is the strongest version of a pattern we see throughout the hardest rooms in the city, and it explains how a restaurant can be open on 0% of dates and still feel impossible to somebody who only ever searches for 7:30.
What is open instead is the end of the night. The single most frequently open slot at Cote is 11:00 PM, and 80% of open slots were 9:00 PM or later. The early seatings are a small share, 20% before 6 PM.
One measurement quirk is worth explaining rather than hiding. Our earliest-open-slot field reads 12:00 AM for Cote because it sorts by minute of day and the midnight seating sorts to the front. In service terms that midnight table is the latest of the night, not the earliest, and a steakhouse still seating past 11:00 PM is an unusually good fit for a late dinner.
The practical consequence is simple. If you want Cote at a conventional hour, the 10:00 AM release is your only real shot, and even then you are competing with everyone else who wants exactly that. If you will eat late, Cote is one of the more available celebrated rooms in Manhattan on most nights of the week.
Because the four-top is the easier reservation by a wide margin: 93% of dates for four against 0% for two, and that inversion is rare enough to plan around. We cannot see Cote's floor plan, only its calendar, and a Korean steakhouse where the grilling is shared across the table is a plausible reason for it. The measurement is the part we will stand behind.
Most hard restaurants run the other way. At Lilia, a two-top was open on 63% of dates and a four-top on 33%, because a small pasta room gives up something scarcer when it seats four. Semma sits at 0% for a two-top and 0% for a four-top, and Don Angie at 0% and 0%. Cote is the room in this group where bringing more people is a genuine advantage.
If you are a couple, the play is to book as two at the drop and take the late seating. If you are four, or can become four, you are shopping in an almost fully open calendar, and the constraint moves from whether a table exists to whether you want the late one.
COTE 550 is the easier one to overlook. A two-top was open on 43% of dates and a four-top on 43%, against 0% and 93% at the Flatiron original. Its own Resy listing puts the window at 14 days rather than 30, releasing 14 days ahead at 10 AM, and we have logged 89 release events there.
Its evenings look just as lopsided. 84% of the open slots we sampled were 9:00 PM or later, 11:00 PM is again the most frequently open, and prime time rounds to 0% of 548,599 samples. Tuesday is the easiest night at 44% of checks, with Wednesday the hardest at 33%.
The reason to know all this is that a search for one Cote and a search for the other are different searches. Trying the Midtown East room inside its 14-day window is a real option when the Flatiron calendar has nothing you want, and it is invisible to anyone treating the two as one restaurant.
Cote, Flatiron: 0% for a two-top, 93% for a four-top, released 30 days ahead at 10 AM.
COTE 550, Midtown East: 43% for a two-top, 43% for a four-top, released 14 days ahead at 10 AM.
Both rooms release at 10:00 AM on Resy, and 11:00 PM is the most frequently open slot at the Flatiron room.
Decide first whether you are optimizing for the hour or for the restaurant. If the hour is fixed at something conventional, be at the 10:00 AM drop on the morning your date enters the 30-day window, and accept that you are competing for the scarcest thing Cote has. If the restaurant is what you want, book four people midweek at the late seating and you will usually find something.
For a specific prime-time night that was gone at release, a cancellation is the only remaining door. Those surface at unpredictable hours as parties shrink and plans change, and a freed 8:00 PM Saturday at Cote does not sit there waiting. A table released at 4:00 PM on a Tuesday is invisible unless something is watching the calendar every few minutes, which no person can sustain.

Aim for Wednesday at 50% of checks rather than Friday at 14%.
Take the 11:00 PM seating, the most frequently open slot in our 296,926 samples.

Cote releases reservations 30 days ahead at 10 AM, and its calendar runs about 30 days deep in our checks. At the last check a table for two was bookable on 0% of the dates in that window, so the release is the best shot, and plenty more come back as cancellations.
Because the tables that exist are gone at the drop. Across 578,868 checks, Cote has shown a bookable table for two on 0% of dates, though 8% of dates opened at some point. We have recorded 86 release events there. 0% of the openings we have seen were between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. The seats you can actually get are the ones that come back when someone cancels, which is why an alert on the date beats refreshing.
Cote's calendar reaches 1 December on Sunday, 1 November at 10 AM, and each later date follows the same rule: 30 days ahead at 10 AM. Hours are local to the restaurant.
