The gluten free bagel is essentially gluten free bread in the shape of a bagel. The amount of addons they put (cucumbers, etc) is literally the minimal amount. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Our family of four came here for an early lunch during our recent visit to NYC. We were served immediately and the girl on the checkout was super-friendly, letting us have a taster of their new soft drinks before deciding what to order. The burgers were great quality and the fries were cooked to perfection as well. Everything cost more than I expected it to ($70 for the four of us) but that isn’t any fault of the restaurant, as the prices were clearly advertised. Yes, McDonalds is much cheaper, but the food at Shake Shack is far better quality and it was good too that they offer gluten-free buns as well. It was nice to be able to eat in such a peaceful location too, surrounded by the small birds who call Madison Square Park home.
I had an incredible dining experience at Cote - their attention to dietary restrictions was top-notch. As someone with a gluten allergy, I often worry about limited options, but Cote went above and beyond to ensure I had a seamless and enjoyable meal.
We ordered the Butcher’s Feast, and while the table had the marinated galbi, they thoughtfully swapped in a gluten-free skirt steak just for me - without compromising the experience for the rest of the group. Every time a new dish was brought out, the servers clearly communicated which items were safe for me to eat, making me feel truly cared for.
One small downside was the meat dipping sauce that typically comes with the meal I wasn’t able to have, and they didn’t offer a gluten-free alternative. However, I always bring my own gluten-free soy sauce packets, so that worked perfectly. Additionally, since I couldn’t have the stews included in the Butcher’s Feast, we ordered a bibimbap for the table.
Overall, the staff was attentive, kind, and incredibly accommodating. Would definitely go back!
