"Cote, a great Korean steakhouse in the Design District, has become quite a difficult reservation. So try your luck now, before we’re flooded with tourists looking to celebrate acquiring a piece of art that has a price tag with several commas. Dinner at the upscale Korean steakhouse is the kind of big, luxurious event that'd be fitting for that. But even if you're on more of a thrift store art budget, there's always the $74 per person Butcher’s Feast—a 90-minute performance dedicated to all things protein. The only way you can go to Cote without a reservation is during their daily happy hour from 5-7pm. It's only available at the standing bar and is first come, first served. The menu is limited, but they have some tasty small plates exclusive to happy hour. Other than that, your best chance at a good weekend table is to book a month out. But they do lunch here now, and those tables are much easier to find (and the butcher’s feast is available for lunch)." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
