The food was delicious and the staff very polite. Would definitely recommend
The staff were kind, the large menu means that we were able to cope with some very picky eaters, the price was reasonable and the birthday girl with us was treated to a lovely dessert on the house. This is, I feel, a very good option for group meals and business lunches.
The food was amazing and the service was the best I've had in a restaurant for years. The waiters/waitresses were so lovely, attentive and we were so impressed with the experience. What a lovely restaurant and atmosphere!
This is our monthly go-to restaurant for me and the girls, we order exactly the same thing every time including the prosecco and we are always happy with the food, service and atmosphere. Yesterday they gave us the wrong bill which we informed them was wrong even though our bill was 3 times more. It felt good to be honest...
I enjoyed the ambience and the food was lovely except for the calamari! I would of preferred the rabbit and pistachio terrine which you had run out of! The staff were friendly especially one guy who was wearing a waistcoat and had a beard, he was very nice and polite!
We were upstairs and felt a bit forgotten about. Dessert took a while to come. But otherwise it was a nice experience
This is our regular haunt now and this time we extended the invite to our other colleagues who loved it, they said the food, service and atmosphere was great. They will now also return again.
Very polite staff,good food, nice ambiance. I would like to come again.
Great Food and Service - Easy location Quiet enough that I could hold a meeting over lunch
I think this was a new opening as some things were not quite right but the staff were very attentive and so overall the experience was good my food was excellent but my guest had to return theirs as it was cold when it arrived at the table but the staff were extremely helpful
Food was average! Used to be a lot better before
Starters were miniscule my sardines were probably only half a sardine in total, my wife’s salad half the size we normally get. The main course was served before the starter and the tomato salad is now just an ordinary supermarket quality tomato roughly sliced instead of what use to be the juicy beef tomato thinly sliced with shallots. Service was slightly chaotic with an hour wait for the main course. Still pleasant staff who try their best. Overall would say the Cote experience is going down.
always a great lunch for us girls to catch up !
Friendly helpful staff, great service, well presented food and very tasty We will be back Thanks Jenny
Great tasting food for a good price - we ordered from one of the set lunch menus. Nice ambience and decor. Will come here again.
As always, Côte meets my expectations when going out for dinner
Excellent food, atmosphere and service! Great value for money too. Will definitely go back.
Staff were super friendly and enthusiastic. Food and wine was great
Lovely meal as always and wonderful service from Etienne as always
Good value for money for good quality French food. Probably the only place in Londonserving the classic French winter dish - Cassoulet.
As always a fabulous Lunch in the city, great food, value and service, thank you
Restaurant not at all full, the staff were lovely, efficient, we had a great table and the food was very good. Well priced too. Will definitely come again.
Quality meal with my team from work. Will definitely be returning. Top notch food. Thank you.
great food and really good value for money! definitely recommend
This was my first visit to Côte, Bank and I wasn’t disappointed. I have been to other Côte in other London locations and I at Bank I received the same great service and great food. I also loved the room. Highly recommended.
The best chain in the business, never disappoints in any venue
Good quality and varied selection of food, excellent friendly helpful service, pre-theatre menu well priced.
Despite several large groups of fellow diners, we were very well looked after by both the manager and the waiter, food great as always, thank you. Very nice venue with interesting interior
I love coming to this restaurant after work for a lovely meal and cocktails! The staff are always friendly, the food is excellent and the overall service is very good. Highly recommended.
Fantastic Breakfast, but when I booked I was told it would be busy and there was only one other table in the restaurant???
Was lovely and the service was great, the vegan food was amazing!
Excellent food, location and service Thank you! I have actually been for lunch 2 days running and would thoroughly recommend the food. Atmosphere great! Service excellent! Food exceptional and definitely value for your money.
Have been a loyal customer of Cote but think standards have been slipping recently Breton chicken does not smell fresh last few times i have ordered it including today and seems to be reheated and dry these days The Chicken and walnut salad was a disaster just bundles of green leaves no green beans no walnuts no avocado and no dressing to deal with the mountain of green leaves. Surely the chef knows what he/she is sending out I mentioned this at the end and was offered a drink on the house but not today rather next time visit. Very mean spirited and disappointing experience which is a shame because we were great fans of the Cote brand.
We always get great service and the menu has something for everyone 😊
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a ruder more anti customer manager in the restaurant business than Côte Bank’s Asst General Manager Ben, What had been a pleasant enough evening for four of us was almost ruined as he smugly announced we could not have anything chocolate or cheese “because we ran out at lunch.” The manager hadn’t the nouse to send out for more supplies in the hours from then till evening? He seemed almost proud! Already at this point my duck breast was a leg and my friend’s Roquefort salad arrived after the rest of us had finished our starters. And this in a 1/3 full restaurant when both restaurants across the street were packed. We got more drinks and deserts and cheese at one of those places. Such people should not be managers. The other service was very good. Côte should be ashamed! This is our second disappointing meal at Côte in a few weeks.
A massive thanks to the team at Cote Bank. They were first class throughout the whole evening of our work Christmas party. We were all looked after extremely well and I have received nothing but good feedback about the whole evening from my colleagues.
Unfortunately the service is very poor and the waiting staff need more training in the products they serve. This was my second visit in as many months and on both occasions the waiting staff have not understood orders (especially for drinks and coffee). My food (fish stew) was cold and not enjoyable at all. The waiting staff were not responsive and our table was left sitting with no drinks or food for ages. More training is needed if this branch is going to survive in such a competitive market.
We enjoyed our meal at Côte and the overall ambience. Small point – what about offering crème anglâise for the crumble. That would truly make the pudding as otherwise it is a bit dry.
Really great experience at Cote Bank, we had a team Christmas breakfast and everything went perfectly to plan, we had pre-ordered to save time (Aga was really helpful in organising this for us) and and all the food was exactly as requested - and delicious too! Thanks to the staff for looking after us, we really enjoyed it!
Food lovely. Table location poor (partially under the curved stairs)
The restaurant was very busy but we were seated upstairs and had a lovely waiter. We were impressed by the prestige set menu and the food was delicious. Couldn't fault a thing and we will definitely be back.
I have a very busy City schedule and was delighted with my experience at this restaurant wonderful friendly staff and low noise levels, really greeted me warmly and treated me like a VIP. Was very happy overall. The manager in Cote on Old Jewry deserves a medal bravo! David O’Reilly, Founder Wimbledon Park Capital
Ribeye steak as good as usual and the scallops & bourdin noir were excellent. Etienne, Murielle and Ben looked after us very well.
It was great food and good service. Nice atmosphere and perfect for lunchtime
friendly staff and nice ambiences. food is very average though
Great evening with friends and having good service makes it extra special
Food, service and value for money all excellent. Great place to take clients
We're both gluten intolerant, so absolutely loved the fact that there was a special gluten-free menu. It's so much nicer than having to look through the a normal menu for items with an asterisk. The food was as per Cote standards and the service was very efficient.
Staff too busy to be able to assist all tables. Drinks too forever to arrive, food was standard and nothing great and also cold. Overall location great but staff and kitchen need some attention.
Food was good but since we pre-ordered and booked quite a while ago we were waiting a long time for each course and a few members of our group had to leave to get back to work before dessert came out so they missed out. Also the tables were a little awkward – 3 round tables pushed together for a group of 8 was a bit tricky. Even though we pre-ordered, one of the starters was still wrong but the staff did get this sorted quickly. The Christmas crackers were a nice touch but could have had some music playing to feel more festive and also more festive decorations as upstairs in the corner we were in didn't feel very festive.
