Fancy place. Did not quite understood their food concept but was very well served. The duck texture was very soft and it was something very different from my usual dinings. Giving a five star cause of this new experience in a Mexican food. Asian fusion? The Cone Cream Meringue was also different!

We came here for restaurant week. I must say this Mexican food tastes delicious. The duck enmoladas thing was my favorite. My wife loved dessert. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Wow! Always a pleasure to come here. We celebrated our wedding anniversary with our daughter and got the special (tomahawk steak) and the duck. What word is better than excellent! Our server and staff were on point and friendly, and the food came out at the right pace and just delicious. We also shared the salad and guacamole, both light and tasty, to start as appetizers. After eating the entrees, we were full. My only criticism is the lighting. Although we sat at a table with a spot light on part of the table, just be aware that it is dim lighting. Fortunately, I sat at the right spot to see everything.

no notes!!! great and friendly staff. very efficient. food was unique and everything I tried was delicious !! wasn't too loud and it was nice and full!

Another great outing. This time we all seafood - the uni tostada, scallop crudo, prawns pastor, and halibut - all were very tasty as we have come to trust and expect here.

What a find - back the the UK Mexican restaurants are nachos and chilli .. here in NYC Cosme takes it to another level. Awesome service, great food, wine expensive as you’d expect but a great meal.

The service was great. The atmosphere and food were good. The cocktails were pretty good and their wine was really nice.

Good atmosphere and nice service. The octopus was good even though it was a bit too salty. The Peking duck carnitas tacos were interesting but probably not worth it. It does come with a ton of meat! Corn meringue was interesting.

​We visited the renowned Cosme restaurant tonight, led by celebrated Mexican Chef Enrique Olvera in NYC, and were met with immense curiosity and a tremendous surprise! ​Atmosphere & Vibe ​Upon entering, the place immediately offers a warm, contemporary, and chic atmosphere. It’s noticeably spacious, which is a huge plus in the Big Apple where elbow room is often scarce. This contributes greatly to a comfortable dining experience. ​The Culinary Experience ​Getting straight to the point: the food is fantastic. It is creative, flavorful, and full of intention. The kitchen clearly respects the quality of the ingredients and treats them with care. My appreciation isn't just because of my roots and the marvelous way it evokes the flavors of Mexico, but because the cooking is truly outstanding. ​The Mole (A Must-Try): This dish is a knockout. What a masterful way to share such an emblematic plate of Mexican gastronomy with the world! The accompanying sweet potato is perfectly balanced—it enhances the mole's flavor without overpowering it. The tortillas served alongside are excellent and generously sized. ​Duck Carnitas: These are a sheer delight; they literally melt in your mouth. They were, hands down, the family's favorite. ​Uni Tostadas: They were good, but they didn't particularly surprise me. ​Night's Special: The quesadillas with huitlacoche (corn smut) and squash blossoms were absolutely delicious. ​Drinks & Dessert ​Special mention goes to the beverages. We tried the House Red, a Baja California wine made exclusively for Cosme, which was definitely worth it. The carajillo (espresso with liquor) was perfectly prepared and a sublime match for the incredible Cornhusk Merengue—this is honestly the best dessert I've had in a long time. ​Service & Final Thoughts ​Finally, I must highlight the service. Andrea was an excellent guide throughout our dinner. We were accompanied by two young children, and she was consistently attentive and kind. We even received a complimentary cake because we were celebrating a birthday—a lovely touch! ​The only consideration is that this is not a restaurant for tight budgets, but it is absolutely worth the splurge for special occasions. We will undoubtedly return for another celebration!

We had an incredible experience at the Cosmo restaurant. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The food was incredibly delicious, with a delightful combination of flavors! The only disappointing thing was the portion sizes. Considering the price of the meal, the portions were quite small. Also we had high expectations for the dessert but it wasn’t anything spectacular.

We had a great time dining at this place. Our server was incredibly helpful, and the entire support staff was exceptional. They were extremely attentive, courteous, and skilled. However, the experience was not without its shortcomings. The portion sizes were disappointingly small, and the dessert, the corn merengue, was not as impressive as I had heard. The Hiramasa tostada appetizer, which was $30, was too small for even two people to share. This should not a standard size for an appetizer. Despite these drawbacks, I would still recommend Cosme. It’s a very unique experience - duck carnitas were outstanding. It’s also a busy place so I’d recommend making a reservation, even though we were able to squeeze into one of the hightop tables without one.

Nicholas Mantel

Food is very good but maybe not great. Service was pretty impeccable and nice atmosphere. Desserts were awesome. The rest of the meal was all good albeit slightly forgettable. Nothing we didn’t like but nothing really wowed either.

CJ Redfern

The guacamole was very good (if you like spicy), as was the corn appetizer. The scallops were also very good. We felt the steak could be more tender, and more flavorful. Overall good, but not great.

Food was alright. Overall a 6.8/10. For the mains, the flavours were very one dimensional after a while. Not really worth the hefty price tag. The meringue dessert was delightful though, and I would come back purely for that. The interior is very nice, and the restaurant is ambient lit.

I was really hoping it to be something special. Also I do appreciate they are not part of those Resy restaurants that require a diner to have a 300+dollar/year annual fee to make a reservation. However the food was rather a disappointment. The guacamole was great, but the other entrees were not. Plus they really push the Duck which is by far the most expensive dish on the menu. I don't particularly like duck and the waiters really push. Not good. All the entrees should be of a similar quality, not just one. The service efficient, and the place is a bustling dark atmosphere.

Ant Wirjoprawiro

Overall had a lovely dining experience, but honestly expected more given the price point. Guacamole with the crudite was surprisingly good, extremely fresh and a great starter. Aguachile, scallops, and mole were ok, nothing to rave about. Duck carnitas was fantastic, the meat was tender and pulled apart beautifully. Corn husk meringue was 10/10, just the right amount of sweetness and great blend of textures!

Cosme, to me, felt like a concept where the creators knew how to make one thing incredibly well, and in order to create an ecosystem, added a bunch of other things that did not live to the expectations of that main dish. Below all the plates we got, in the order that we got them: The Ensalada de la Casa and the Herb Guacamole were completely forgettable. Nothing really stood out, both dishes were a bit disappointing. The corn tostadas were good, but couldn't save the dish. I would not recommend you to order any of these. The Sishito Esquite was an interesting concept; it tasted good, but it had nothing to do with a real equiste. While I do enjoy different takes on traditional dishes, I like when they maintain at least a core element of what makes something a particular dish; I would have never guessed this was esquite if I had tried it without the name, instead, this to me felt much more like a nice take on Konchijeu (Korean cheese corn). The mole was just okay, the taste was good but it felt like it could have been an accompanying side to a main, instead of it's own individual dish. The Duck Carnitas were absolutely phenomenal. This was by far the highlight of the entire dinner. The duck would instantly melt just by touching it and the salsas and homemade fresh tortillas that accompanied the dish were fantastic, we really couldn't get enough of it. The Corn Husk Meringue was also incredibly delicious. The blend of both textures (solid/cream) and flavors (sweet meringue/savory corn) worked very well together, and was overall a great dessert to share between 3 people. Restaurant atmosphere is great, the place is dimmed but lights are strategically placed so you have enough visibility over your table, sort of like a spotlight. Plating and cutlery suited the restaurant perfectly. Service was good, albeit a bit on the slow side - I recommend to ask the staff for refills (tortillas, lime, etc) before you actually finish the one you have to account for that. Staff was super kind and approachable, I just hoped they would explain a bit more about the dishes and maybe some tips on how to consume them, my guests told me they wouldn't have figured out how to eat some of these dishes if I wasn't there to explain it to them. Overall, as it is, I don't think this place is worth it's current price point; however, I would definitely return and just get the Duck Carnitas and the Corn Meringue without any of the other stuff for a 5/5 dinner experience.

We came here to celebrate a birthday and left extremely disappointed. The food was just okay — the duck carnitas were the only standout — but the service was genuinely confusing and unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. Plates were cleared while there was still food on them, and our cocktails were taken away with at least a third left. It felt rushed and careless the entire night. It got worse: the waitress offered to take our bouquet of flowers to put them in water, but never did. The flowers were returned dry, and then forgotten entirely — we had to make a second trip back to the restaurant to retrieve them. We also brought a birthday cake to be served at the end of the meal, and when it came out, the springform ring was still on the cake. Incredibly embarrassing, especially after being told their pastry chef would know how to handle it. We had to remove it ourselves at the table… For a place with this reputation, the service was shockingly sloppy. I would not recommend Cosme for any kind of celebration — there are far better options in NYC.
