Undercote — Restaurant in New York

Undercote is a visceral, immersive experience. You’ll realize this as soon as the crisp, humid, somehow pure “unadulterated by NYC” air reaches your lungs. Just that feeling alone elevates the tone, which is already set by the beautifully radiating bar top, lush floral scapes, and the sharp, well kept staff.

Should you find yourself here and two seats at the bar are available, take it immediately. Be greeted by their kind faces, smiles at the ready. Don’t hesitate to order the Vesper martini with a citrus twist using the recommended Plymouth gin. Sit back and enjoy the gnocchi, a very familiar taste, but the texture is like cracking a crème brûlée with every bite. You have no idea, it’s wild. The remainder of the food will require a table of contents, and I haven’t gotten out of bed yet so no.

I want to thank Stefanie (apologies if spelled wrong) for providing tactful and superb hospitality paired with immense kindness, William for showing their articulate attention to detail in both presentation and execution while curating our drinks. And to the remainder of the staff who I look forwards to seeing again and again as I rave about Undercote to my friends. Thank you for all of the work you do both in front of and behind the house. Thank you for being wonderful hydro homies too!

Know that my first experience at Undercote has made a wonderful, lasting memory and I will continue to keep making more here as I seek to share that happiness amongst my friends and family. Thank you all again, incredible service....

Undercote is a phenomenal little gem hidden under Cote Steakhouse. Undercote is a cocktail lounge that serves food served in the regular restaurant allowing you the enjoyment of casual dining, but with the quality of fine dining.

The bartenders Caitlin, Stephanie, and Nate were all wonderful. Quick to respond and able to guide me to the optimal cocktails. Nate was even kind enough to make me a custom cocktail of his own creation with my favorite egg whites, which was phenomenal in flavor and complexity. I learned he does create most of the cocktail menu himself.

David, the manager, was very friendly and was able to help me identify the BMS on the Wagyu that was served. He brought out the certifications to show what each cut was rated at. They did not have the Miyazaki Prefecture, as it was changed for the Kagoshima Prefecture. They have a two ounce minimum, which is nice as I was able to order both the tenderloin and the ribeye.

It came served with rice, lettuce, and pickled cabbage. This was a really interesting way to serve the steak. They sadly did not offer Ikayaski style, but it was still a very delicious experience.

Overall I'd highly recommend coming here to enjoy a great meal, fantastic service, amazing atmosphere, and...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Undercote, the speakeasy located beneath Cote restaurant in New York City, and I was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I arrived, I was transported back in time to the glamour and elegance of a bygone era.

The decor is impeccable, with plush velvet seating and dimly-lit ambiance that perfectly sets the mood for a night of sophistication and indulgence. The cocktails are expertly crafted and truly top-notch - I highly recommend the "Manhattan," which was expertly balanced and flawlessly executed.

But what truly sets Undercote apart is the service. From the moment I walked in the door, the staff was attentive and welcoming, making me feel right at home. They were knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing the perfect drink, and their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the experience.

Overall, I highly recommend Undercote for anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable night out. This speakeasy truly lives up to its reputation as a class act, and I can't wait to return. Five stars...
