Good service, friendly staff and nice food. 3 courses for under £20 good value before 7 pm! We will definitely be coming back sometime soon hopefully.
Excellent service, lovely ambiance, really friendly staff and a beautiful 3 courses (and bottle of wine) 🍷🍷👍will be coming back again one day very soon
Chicken on valentines set menu wasdry bland and boring. It sounded quite fancy however it was literally a dry chicken breast and standard mashed potato. Very underwhelming and disappointing. Not a single vegetable in sight.
Good was fantastic , service was good , rated lower as three out if the four diners were served main courses whilst the 4th had to wait , awkward for the three being polite waiting for my food to arrive . But generally a good experience so thank you .
Delicious and freshly prepared food, really nice and comfortable atmosphere, staff were very friendly and professional
Excellent food, service and ambiance. Never fails to provide a high quality all round. I’ve visited most Cotes and they are all amazing thank you for a great experience
There is always a pleasant welcome and friendly service. The food comes quickly and is always delicious. The new spring aperitif is lovely. We will be back!🤩
Ask for medium rare steak it come out rare! Had to send food back because waiter sneezed No one checked to see if our meals was fine
Another lovely meal here, well done all. Good food, friendly professional staff and great service, pleasant setting and atmosphere look forward to the next time!
Food was lovely. Quality was good, service was a little slow due to busy periods. Overall lovely experience
Excellent food with excellent service. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
We had a lovely evening and a lovely meal. The staff caught on that it was our wedding anniversary and pulled out all the stops. Thank you!
Post concert supper was delicious and the staff jovial and efficient. Nice to have a free bottle of wine. Champagne to celebrate a small Grand National flutter success.
Amazing service and amazing food as always. One of our favourite restaurants
Service and staff were great, food excellent, pricing a bit above the market price. Service charge is a no no. If you want to feed your people that's your concern not mine.
Very enjoyable meal. Had the early evening deal - delicious tomato salad followed by a tasty steak frite. Had to be the amazing creme caramel for dessert. Love eating at Côte. Thanks.
Brilliant Service. Good menu choice and the portion sizes were more than enough. Lovely setting outside. Very pleased with the service we had.
I had a lovely meal with my three friends on June 5th. The service was good and most of the food excellent There was a problem with one main course which was swiftly rectified and removed from the bill. Wonderful veggie/vegan selection Many thanks
Steak and pork were too dry and over cooked. For the quality,I should not be paying 15% for service charge.
Very quick initial service, if anything too eager to take our orders, After main then seemed to be ignore, did get desert, but would have enjoyed a coffee but not approaches Had to find staff to ask for the bill
Staff were very attentive, the restaurant was nice and clean. Food was lovely, I had the Fish Parmentiere and my partner had Steak Frittes.
This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately we chose a very busy day and they had sold out of the meal that I had chosen online. However the food was excellent, above the standard that we had come to expect from restaurants in the locality. The white wine however could have been more chilled. The service was attentive and professional. We shall definitely eat there again.
Excellent food and service and value for money. The restaurant was quiet due to possibly a Sunday evening? We were with friends from outside the area and they were impressed with the dining experience.
The food, drinks and service were all excellent but I would prefer the service charge not to be added automatically to the bill so that I could choose what tip to leave.
Excellent meal and superb friendly staff....this is a gem of a restaurant...Good variety of food and some excellent wines to choose from......Would highly recommend and we will return soon!
So very disappointed. I have dined here numerous times, yesterday was a shambles. I ordered the duck roast breast which I usually have, it came with runny cherry sauce which was watery. I asked for some more as my food was so dry and the waiter took 15 minutes to bring more, when he eventually did after asking 3 times the food was cold. After leaving half of my meal uneaten due to it being cold I was reluctantly complimentary dessert as a 'good will' gesture.I don't see how a dessert on the house would make up for this as I was still hungry haven't not finished my main. Service was extremely slow despite not being busy and the manager wasn't at all phased that my food was dry and cold by time he eventually brought out more sauce. I was quite embarrassed by the whole experience, I had recommended the restaurant which my friend who hadn't been before. Won't be returning.
Ok it was mother’s day and it was very busy. He service was ok but the food took for ever to come out of the kitchens. One hour for our starters and then when they did come 4 of the kalimari was cold. On the main meals they had run out of lamb so we ordered the salmon.when the mains arrived they forgot to but the salmon they had to wait another 20 mins for it to come out of the kitchen.
Another very pleasant evening at Cote Birmingham. Cote has become my favourite restaurant, for a girls night out or a quiet meal with my husband. The menu choice and pricing ensures that everyone’s needs are met. Food as usual ws excellent, service attentive and atmosphere great. Thank you team Cote Birmingham.
As usual the food was great and the portions very good. A pity, then, that the service did not match. One waitress spent 20 minutes chatting to customers in Spanish while her colleagues dealt with a busy Saturday night clientele. When we asked for our bill the waiter made a joke about his name being Tom and then seemed to forget what we had asked. Ten minutes later we asked another waiter who responded immediately. I have to say, too, that I strongly object to a 12.5% "discretional service charge" being included on the bill; it is up to me to make this decision. Furthermore, if I am to reward service, I want to make sure that all my money goes to the member of staff who has provided that service.
Service was excellent and felt well catered even with our young 18 months son (we weren't shuffled into a corner to be forgotten.) Only criticism is that the side carrots were a still rock hard, but they were removed from our bill, so all is well.
Lovely meal, in a nice setting by the canal Very impressed with the gluten free menu and provision here Loads of choice so there is something for everyone
Excellent food and great service in a great Mailbox location
Wonderful service, waiters are always brilliant. I don’t catch the gentleman’s name but he was a fantastic waiter, very very nice. Food lovely, lot sold out but always the case on Mother’s Day.
This birthday visit to Birmingham for my husband was very successful. We were allocated a window table (55) which was excellent. Another point we would like to mention is the exceptional service provided by a young Lithuanian waiter who looked after us very well. The complimentary gin cocktails also provided a memorable start to the meal! Delia Haxworth
This was our first visit to Côte Brasserie but we certainly hope that is not our last after spending a lovely couple of hours enjoying great service and wonderful food. My wife & I enjoyed every moment & every mouthful. Even the carrots served as a side dish were perfect, offering a freshness & sweetness of flavour that is uncommen in such chain restaurants. Delightful! I guess then, that my rating of their place in Birmingham may seem like over the top hyperbole to some but we felt it was a brilliant example of just how good such places as this could and should be.
We came for the Valentine's Day special menu. There was an excellent choice of all three courses on offer and, as usual, the quality of the food we were served was really good. Friendly staff, good ambience, good food, good value - can't ask for more!
Thoroughly enjoyed a late Saturday afternoon lunch in the Mail Box. My own comprehensive gluten free menu so no need to pick out the good bits from a standard menu and be left with the usual salad! 😋 We were waited on by Matt who was just the best from the moment we were seated till we left. He was attentive, informative, charming and funny. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for a great afternoon.
Really nice pre-theatre meal Excellent value for money as we had the 2 course lunch menu which has plenty to choose from. Staff were all friendly and the service was good. Beautiful surroundings on a sunny evening really love the living wall in the outside eating area.
Good service, nice and quick. Starters - calamari and shredded pork. Very tasty and he perfect quantity. Mains - My partner ordered the chargrilled chicken and found it very bland. I ordered the rib eye steak, medium rare. Very tasty, however mine was rare.
We came as a group of mums of all ages for a late mother’s day lunch. There was a lovely choice of food. We had the prestige menu. The service was great and the price very reasonable. We will definitely come again
Excellent food and service as always. We love this restaurant, the atmosphere is relaxed yet the staff are exceptionally professional. With the best moules marinière and Breton fish stew in the UK, this is a great taste of France in Birmingham!
Service is just awesome. Waiters are very professional food awesome
Overall it was a very pleasant meal. I enjoyed the free cocktail French 75 - an interesting mix of flavours. I was a little disappointed that the veal steak was not available, but it's something I might try next time. I was impressed that the waitress, when I asked why it was called 'rose' in the "grilled rose veal t-bone steak" meant was able to come back and tell me. The mussels as a starter were just the right quantity (I thought there may have been too many) and I love the cream sauce that goes with them. The duck in the main course (a generous helping) was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of potato to go with it. It needed some vegetable accompaniment and I chose (perhaps unusually) the tomato because peas seem a little banal and I haven't enjoyed the beans much in the past. The spinach would have been another possibility. There were not that many diners in the restaurant so there was a slight lack of atmosphere, but it was a miserable day outside and that had probably kept people away.
Celebrated my Birthday with my friends each one commented how good the food and service was . We all had an excellent time which was made extra special by the staff. Thank you.
Staff are always intentive and polite, you could as enough of them. The food is always magnificent, very tasty and there is a large choice of amazing dishes (I would recommend the Poulet Grillé). Definitely will be returning for a third time.
Orderd the Pork for my main, Not much flavour and the pork was over cooked. My starter and dessert was okay. Service was not the best waited along time for the table to be cleared in between courses, and for the bill especially when the restaurant was quiet and plenty of staff on duty.
very attentive staff.excellent food we had the 3 courses great value.would defo come back this was our second visit.always a great choice too. we had a great night thankyou.
Everything and everyone was fabulous. The food and service were faultless. Thank you. We can’t wait to come again. And Matthew the Manager was exceptionally friendly and gave a great personal and attentive service and knew just the right way to be friendly but professional. It was a great night.
Perfect food, drinks and staff! Only negative would be the starter always arrives too quickly, before you have finished the hors dourve, slow down a bit please.
Had a lovely lunch today to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food and freebie wine were excellent, dessert was lovely too. Good that they change the menu each month. Will certainly be going again soon!
