Côte Bishop's Stortford

Nice table in window and the French Merlot was served at a good temperature. Poulet a bit dry (over grilled) but in a nice thyme sauce.

Excellent service and high quality food spoiled only by an extremely noisy table alongside ours. A shame they were not asked to tone down the noise somewhat.

Good experience and high quality food will visit again. Staff are great and service is very attentive. One of our favourite places to go for dinner

Our French onion soup, mussels and desserts were all lovely. My poulet grille had been left under the grill? heater? marginally too long which spoilt the overall enjoyment of the otherwise delicious dish. Everything else was excellent - our enjoyment was only marred by the excessive "canoodling" of a (middle-aged!) couple sitting directly behind us .....................

Tonight was good. Can vary depending on the chef and general staff on duty. Could have more variety on the menu which doesn't change very much despite specials eyc

A really lovely experience. My first visit to a Cote and I'll definitely return. The staff were so welcoming and attentive but not overly so. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Very good value for money.

Lovely setting, easy location to find in town centre. Food always good quality, nice view on street from window seating. Will definitely visit again very soon

A very pleasant meal. Service was prompt, friendly and not pushy. The menu was good and reasonably priced. Would go again at any time of the day.

Food was as expected pleasant not amazing.Service efficient sometimes overly and became intrusive as we were in conversation with our friends ., it's a fine line to get it right

This is a lovely, cosy place with nice, helpful staff. The October specials were excellent, we really enjoyed the beetroot salad, the ham with celeriac followed by the haddock & mushroom risotto. Your house champagne has always been one of my favourites too, keep it up Cote Bishops Stortford, we love you!

Have been here several times and food is good, however there has always been a feeling that the atmosphere is not quite right. On our recent visit the service was very slow and after 1hr 15 mins we had only just had our starter. On clearing the plates, the waiter decided to refill ‘our’ glasses and poured the whole of what was left into my husband’s glass (his glasss was not empty at the time). On noticing my look of surprise he then asked if we wanted to order another bottle. The answer was no, but it would have been nice to have been asked if I wanted any of the existing bottle. We were asked how our meal was at the end of the evening, and mentioned both of the above, but the only response was that they agreed service was very slow, and no real explanation of the wine. On reflection, I think the atmosphere has always felt false, with no genuine interest of whether service/food is good. Just going through the motions to make sure the questions have been ticked without really listening to the answers.

Lovely food as always with cote but also paired with incredibly quick service and attentive staff. Had 3 courses with wine in less than an hour!

Outstanding service. The staff were quick and polite. The food was fantastic!!! They made sure i had the vegetarian menu when they realised i was unable to find anything to eat on the normal menu. Amazing evening!!

Good food, service and atmosphere. We both ordered salad nicoise. The tuna tasted a little burnt where is had been grilled, but overall it was a very pleasant meal.

I went to the restaurant with my husband and 2 young children. We had an amazing meal and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend it.

Brilliant atmosphere Fab food and service thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Will be back soon. Can’t wait to see new menu maybe book for Xmas. Wine delicious toi

Sunday lunch with another family. Good food, efficient, friendly, unobtrusive service, nice surroundings. Very happy with everything. What more can I say to make this up to the 25 words they insist you write?

Cold food served as a main meal I had duck and it was cold wasn’t happy they offered to re cook but wouldn’t eat with my friends at the same time

Very polite staff, super quick service. Great food, cooked to perfection. Excellent selection of drinks and dessert. Plenty of parking nearby. Can get a bit noisy.

Really enjoyed the evening The staff went out off there way To help my dietary needs,very attentive No hassle just left us to enjoy our evening Have been here a few times before and will return again 👍

Great food, good menu and specials, plenty of healthy options too, great ambience and very good service. Also a good selection of wines by the glass.

Very lovely atmosphere, staff are really friendly and couldn't do more for you if they tried! Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially with the cooked breakfasts including a hot and cold drink!

Very good. Great value for money. Lovely waitress. Shown to a excellent table in the windows. Choose the 3 course £13.50 menu. What good value for money

Very friendly staff and good food. Comfortable surroundings and the complimentary wine was very much appreciated. We often enjoy breakfast there and will definitely go again

Great atmosphere, made to feel very welcome, food choice good for me with allergies, wine choice good also, a very nice way to spend an evening or just for lunch thank you

The food was very good and a good menu choice. Decor up to usual Cote standard . Staff friendly and welcoming. Restaurant and facilities very clean

Excellent Food Excellent service. Well up to the Cote standard. Most efficient staff made the experience a pleasure. Enjoyed the Rewards special offer of a bottle of wine. Just perfect.

The waiting staff were welcoming and friendly but unobtrusive. The food was tasty and cooked to pur preferences-meat for example. The restaurant was busy but that created a great mood.

Friendly, efficient, good food with most convenient location. Early evening dinner menu ideal for theatre-going. We are regular diners at Cotes and are most likely to remain so.

Lovely meal although restaurant a bit noisy, friendly staff, although offer included a free bottle of wine which we were charged for ! Will be going back Wednesday.

Lovely bustling bistro atmosphere and attentive staff. Enjoyed the autumn specials menu very much, including the wine. Will definitely go back on a regular basis.

We find the restaurant consistently good. The food is extremely good, the service is excellent and the staff very friendly. It is always such a great experience, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere , the staff are all very helpful and friendly with great service levels. Food is lovely, really enjoyed our night.

We go there regularly and we have never been disappointed with the food or the service. The staff could not be nicer. I am French myself and I can say that the food is very authentic.

We were met with graciousness and reminded that we could have a free bottle of wine providing we chose from the a la carte menu - which we did. I would have liked some malt vinegar with my frites (chips), but understandably in a French restaurant they only had balsamic. I don't think he waiter quite understood my request - but no matter. They ordered a taxi for us at the end of the meal which was very enjoyable for both of us. We will definitely go again in the not too distant future although there are a splendid lot of eateries in Stortford.

Lovely food and very good service. Nice atmosphere, good selection of dishes for all tastes, goood wine list and yummy desserts. I recommend Côte Bishop’s Stortford

staff: friendly, courteous, helpful advice, attentive. food: quality ingredients, excellently cooked, well presented. wine: reasonable value surroundings: attractive, good atmosphere, cosmopolitan management: well planned, efficient

Fantastic food and excellent service. The lamb and steak were particularly good as was the ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. Delicious wine and great company

Lovely staff, great service, fab food, menu and atmosphere. U go here at lot at all different times if the day and throughout the week it is always consistently excellent.

friendly warm staff and restaurant, food tasted amazing. Lunch time menu is very reasonable priced and food was served by friendly team and within a reasonable time.

Lovely meal and attentive service. The menu has a great selection for all diners. We particularly like the set menu for 2courses at £11:50 which is great value for money

Great food and service as always. I've been here a few times and am never disappointed. Staff are friendly and there is a good atmosphere. Delicious pate served with brioche

It was a nice meal. I had french onion soup, followed by beef bourguignon and ending with creme brulee. The free bottle of merlot wine offered was not what I would have personally ordered, but it was pleasing. My mother had the same ( apart from not having a starter ) The staff at Cote are very good and know their jobs well. This is a nice restaurant.

Had a fantastic meal, as usual, the service was great, the atmosphere buzzy as the restaurant was quite busy, good seats, ready to go back soon.

The low rating is because one of our main dishes was inedible! The chicken was overdone to the point that the knife bounced off it! Disappointing !

Staff were very friendly, efficient and attentive. Good quality food, enjoyed the rocquefort and walnut salad followed by fish pie.Tasty bread as well and no room for dessert.

A great meal with excellent service. The menu was full of interesting choices. We were very grateful to receive a complimentary bottle of white wine, which was superb. A memorable night out with friends, before my wife starts chemotherapy treatment tomorrow.

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere, not too crowded. The wait to order was a bit long but the waiters were very attentive and friendly.

As always, really good value for money. Just a minor issue with one of the dishes ordered, but the problem was dealt with and we were not charged for that part of the meal.

The service was as it always has been, very attentive with a very pleasant manner. As for the food, again, all our party were extremely satisfied. We will be back.
