About The Position

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: + + = . Polishers are dynamic hospitality and maintenance professionals responsible for ensuring that each piece of glassware, flatware, and plate ware is inspected for flaws and polished to a shine before re-entering service into the hands of our customers in perfect condition. Polishers work with all members of the Back of House and Front of House Service team to ensure a smooth continuation of service.
