COTE is America’s first and only Korean Steakhouse™ with a Michelin star. COTE blends the conviviality and interaction of Korean barbecue with the hallmarks of the classic American chophouse. The result is a unique, unforgettable dining experience, built on a foundation of the highest quality USDA Prime beef, unmatched service, an impeccable 1,200+ label wine list and a suite of classic, creative cocktails. Smokeless grills in every table, combined with premium cuts from Cote’s in-house dry aging room, ensure that every morsel of steak is hot, fresh, and caramelized to perfection. COTE currently has three locations, including a flagship in New York City’s Flatiron, outpost in Miami’s Design District, and recently opened Singapore location, the brand's first international venture.

COTE Vegas, the brand’s first West Coast concept, will open at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas in 2025. Infused with the opulence and grandeur of Sin City, COTE Vegas will draw inspiration from its renowned counterparts in New York, Miami, and Singapore while introducing new, immersive dining experiences unique to Las Vegas.

COTE Vegas will remain true to COTE's philosophy of marrying the conviviality of Korean BBQ together with the hallmarks of a classic American steakhouse. Guests can expect the highest quality cuts of beef, ranging from A5 wagyu from Kobe, Sendai, and Miyazaki to 45, 90, and 120-day aged steak. The menu will feature the concept's signature Butcher's Feast, offering diners a chance to experience four cuts of the highest quality beef, and a variety of Korean-inspired sides, along with Steak & Eggs, Legend of the Seven Jades, and a variety of other iconic dishes that COTE loyalists know and love. Complementing the menu, COTE Vegas will feature the restaurant's impeccable four-time James Beard-nominated wine program, featuring a 1,200+ label wine list and a suite of classic-but-creative cocktails.

Designed by David Rockwell and Rockwell Group, the renowned architecture and design firm behind Gracious Hospitality Management's recently opened COQODAQ and three new concepts in the landmark 550 Madison, COTE Vegas references COTE's DNA, such as dramatic lighting, a dry aging room, and in-table smokeless grills, and filters these elements through a glamorous Las Vegas lens. Upon entering, guests will be transported into a dynamic tiered dining area inspired by a theater in the round, with skybox private dining rooms, a central bar, immersive lighting, a DJ booth, and more.

"I went to UNLV and my first formative job in the world of hospitality was in Las Vegas so opening a COTE in this entertainment epicenter is more than just any traditional opening—it's a triumphant homecoming," said Simon Kim, founder and chief executive officer of Gracious Hospitality Management. "While COTE Korean Steakhouse is a concept I created in NYC, the pulsating energy, music and entertainment of Las Vegas has always been intertwined in our brand's DNA, and we're taking that to the next level with this opening. I'm honored to collaborate with The Venetian Resort on our first West Coast location and thrilled to be partnering again with David Rockwell as we aspire to create the most iconic Las Vegas restaurant the city has ever seen. We're taking our endless emphasis and focus on excellence in gastronomy and hospitality and amplifying the entertainment angle to the fullest extent to create something the city can be proud of, and I can't wait to bring it to life."
