Server

COTE, the carnivorous vision of proprietor Simon Kim, blends the dining experience of Korean Barbeque together with the hallmarks of a classic American Steakhouse. The result is a unique, convivial and interactive atmosphere, accompanied by the highest quality USDA Prime beef, an impeccable 1200+ label wine list, and a suite of classic-but-creative cocktails

Smokeless grills in every table, combined with cuts from our in-house dry aging room, ensure that every morsel of steak is hot, fresh, and caramelized every bite. COTE is NEW YORK CITY'S first Korean Steakhouse.

At COTE, we follow a simple mantra : ? + ? + ? = ?

Servers are dynamic hospitality professionals responsible for all aspects of the customer experience at the table, including greetings, menu sales, table maintenance, overall customer satisfaction and happiness, and fond farewells. It is also their duty to maintain cleanliness and organization in all customer facing areas of the restaurant before and during service. Servers should never leave the floor without informing Management.
