Weâve Got An Ace Up Our Sleeves âŁď¸ Announcing COTE Vegas at The Venetian Resort!
We are honored to partner with @venetianvegas to bring to life a COTE tailor-made for the city of opulence and grandeur. Opening a COTE in Sin City is not only a dream of ours but for @simonkimnyc itâs also a triumphant homecoming â an homage to both his alma mater UNLV and his first formative job in hospitality, which happened to be in Las Vegas.
For our West Coast debut, we are so proud to once again partner with @rockwellgroup to design a dining experience like youâve never before seen â immersive and theatrical; fully transporting you into our world. Our philosophy remains untouched â to marry the conviviality of Korean BBQ together with the hallmarks of a classic American Steakhouse with endless emphasis on excellence in gastronomy and hospitality.Â
Thank you @venetianvegas for giving us center stage â we canât wait to show you what weâre made of. Viva Las Vegas!Â

For the very first time in Gracious Hospitality history, dessert is served. đŽđđŤ
Introducing desserts at Bar Chimera, a milestone moment for us and an entirely new chapter for the menu.
This is something weâve wanted to bring to life for a long time, and weâre thrilled to finally share it with you.
Designed as the perfect ending to the Bar Chimera experience, the menu draws inspiration from nostalgic sweets, English tea time, and flavors that feel both familiar and completely new.
Croquembouche Cream Puffs. Flan. Strawberry & Kiwi Pavlova. Chocolate Cake.Â
Classic desserts, reimagined through the Bar Chimera lens that are comforting, playful, elegant, and a little unexpected all at once.
Pair them with a glass from our Madeira library, a White Russian from our bars, or your choice from our curated dessert drinks menu to finish the night.
A first for Simon. A first for Bar Chimera.
Bring your sweet tooth đŹÂ We canât wait for you to try them.
Inside the newest Midtown opening from the no fail team behind @cotekoreansteakhouse located in 550 Madison featuring three stunning bars: martini, wine, and whiskey. Plus, a cocktail bar and second COTE downstairs and a soon-to-open omakase.

Super proud of our teams @cotekoreansteakhouse for winning the best âlongâ wine list in Miami + best rosĂŠ list! And @coqodaq for reigning as âbest sparkling wine listâ - two years in a row!!
Thank you @starwinelist & lots of love to our teams that make these fancy awards possible!!
We recently celebrated the opening of @550Madison âs new @BarChimera and @COTEKoreanSteakhouse (Cote 550) and today, you can read more about the design from @SamuelCochran in @archdigest !
The dining concept at 550 Madison includes three different restaurants: Bar Chimera, a ground floor Midtown brasserie organized around the idea of the extension of the public plaza with three distinct bar experiences that together create an elegant and convivial environment; Cote 550 in the lower level; and @newyork_sushi_yoshitake , a mezzanine level sushi omakase restaurant coming later this fall.
Each restaurant invites guests into a distinct world and experience; the throughline is how we honored the legacy of the landmark building and the preservation of much of its existing materiality and bold details. Weâre excited to bring an entirely new dining experience to Midtown Manhattanâone that extends the lively experience of the neighborhood and public realm to the indoors.

What a thrill itâs been to witness Simon Kimâs talent up close, starting in 2013 with his first restaurant Piora (slide 4, throwback) to last weekâs opening of 550 Madison. Simon is a world-builder, whose devotion to his team is second to none.
Piora means to bloom, and bloom he has, as City Harvest recognized by honoring him last night at its 2026 Gala: Shaken, Not Stirred. To know him is to love him, as fans of @cotekoreansteakhouse and @coqodaq can attest. Congratulations SK! Real sees real đ
