"The flavors are all familiar - cilantro, jalapeño, lime, corn - but some of the menu items are unmistakably New York City, and by that I mean burrata instead of burritos." Full review
The New Yorker "That’s the bone marrow, an ingenious marriage of earth and sea, all mellowed out with a smear of avocado. One bite is perfect, and enough." Full review
Wallpaper "Cosme’s unfussy menu includes small plates using seasonal produce found in the Hudson Valley." Full review
Fodor's "Cosme makes for one fine dining experience. Sip an Expat martini (it comes with a pickled tomatilla pepper floating in it) and peruse the menu of small plates: start with the hamachi crudo." Full review
