Reviews Cosme

Food 9/10 Each dish had a solid kick to it. The shrimp and cabbage really stood out to me because of how fiery the flavors were. The octopus had a nice sauce. The duck carnitas were solid, but they were slightly dry so that was a small let down. Definitely recommend their appetizers though, a big variety. The cocktails I thoroughly enjoyed, all had very distinctive and complex flavors. Atmosphere 9/10 Very modern and sleek design, we sat near the bar because it was a walk-in, but the interior had slate stone tables and dark wood details, with brass/bronze accents. Service 9/10 Very informative when we were selecting dishes on the menu, friendly.

The ambiance was nice and intimate and no matter how lively it was you could comfortably hold a conversation. Service was impeccable. The food and drinks were delicious albeit slightly overpriced imo. The blue crab appetizer and the duck entree were my favorite. And they made a damn good café con leche as well. A reservation is a must as it's open only a few hours a day so getting a reasonable day and time may be difficult.

I had an amazing experience! Everything I ate and drank was delicious and flavorful. The standouts were the duck carnitas, guacamole, fluke ceviche and lobster Al pastor. Our server was great. The kitchen might have forgotten about a couple of our dishes because there were some delays, but our server brought out a complimentary dessert to make up for it. It was also my birthday so they gave me a scrumptious piece of what tasted like rum soaked vanilla cake. I would absolutely return to Cosme, highly recommend going if you can!

I went here for dinner with a group of colleagues. The interior is dim with a good vibe and energy. Service is great from host to bag/coat check, explaining of the menu, and checking up on you. Seemed like they had a lot of staff to have a good service ratio. The presentation and taste of food were all great! Of several dishes i tried nothing fell short. I was especially fond of the octupus and the desserts! Gets pretty busy into the evening. Def reccomend!

Unique food choices which tastes good! A great experience with great ambience. There’s a waiting area for you to get drinks or sit and wait for the rest of your party.

If I could give them a 10 I would! Being Vegan it’s usually difficult to eat at non Vegan restaurants whenever we go out in larger groups for Birthday Dinners. The staff were EXTREMELY knowledgeable and helped my fiancé and I out with recommendations. The food was FANTASTIC. Their wine list was unique and featured more out of the box options which was great to see. Their desserts looked great and the others in our group very much enjoyed them. It was worth every penny!

Came here for me and my girlfriend’s anniversary. Found out about this place through a YouTube video showcasing the duck tacos and corn dessert. Detail orientated restaurant with quality ingredients and excellent service. Great bang for your buck and would recommend for anyone looking for honest Mexican food without the grease and heavy feeling that comes after eating so many tacos.

Definitely excellent food and absolutely incredible service! Also by far the most expensive restaurant on our recent NYC trip. The waitress explained the menu to us clearly and quickly, and we made our selection very fast. My husband has Celiac Disease and cannot have any gluten even through cross contamination, and only one or two menu items contained gluten. If you need to eat gluten-free, this is a good, if pricey, option for you! The food tastes beyond delicious, and is elevated beyond just a meal, to an experience. The cocktails we got were pretty good, and my husband even ordered a second. For our meal, we had the guacamole with tostadas, which was excellent and so fresh; the Lobster al pastor with pineapple, which was the smaller portion size you expect with lobster, but so tasty paired with the pineapple; and the duck carnitas, which was so tender and flavorful that it reminded us more of pork, and was the definite highlight. We did save room for dessert, and got the husky meringue corn mousse to share. It was so unusual and so, so good! A nice cross between savory and sweet. We highly recommend it! Because they knew we were celebrating our anniversary, they also brought us a tres leches cake, which was gluten-free, soft, and super moist. The service here is crazy attentive! They gave us a carafe to fill our waters with if we ran low, but as soon as we took a swallow or two, a server would materialize out of nowhere and refill our waters for us. I don't think I've ever felt so waited on hand and foot, anywhere I've ever gone. The real kicker is that you feel you have privacy and it doesn't seem like you're being watched, until the waiters appear from out of nowhere and then fade back into the background once their work is done. They know what they're doing here, service-wise! The price here is the only real drawback. We knew ahead of time it would be expensive, but even so, the almost $400 price tag (including a good tip) for the two of us was quite steep! You could skip drinks and dessert and come out a bit cheaper, but still, Cosme is definitely a special occasions restaurant. I'm not sure the food and experience was worth a full $400, which is the only reason for my star deduction in my rating. There were much cheaper restaurants we visited that we enjoyed more, but this was still excellent, especially for the "dress-up, fancy dinner" night of our trip. I recommend it, if you're okay with breaking the bank for a really nice, upscale experience!
