Côte Bishop's Stortford

The Rhubarb cocktail was amazeballs and the food was delish first time for me not find of chains but would recommend.

Good value for money, nice food and attentive service. We eat at Cote a lot, particularly Bishops Stortford and it’s always a nice experience with friendly staff. If it’s a birthday celebration they always make it special.

Lovely lunch as always and great drinks and service too. Lovely lunch as always and great drinks and service too. Lovely lunch as always and great drinks and service too.

Food was very good but overall far too rushed. We felt like we were on a timer throughout. My husband picked at my plate and was asked if they could take the plate away when I went to the bathroom. Staff need to chill!

Very good food and nice choice. Good gluten free menu. Waiters brought wrong beer asked for low alcohol and gave us normal good thing we noticed. Complementary cocktails on arrival were lovely.

Great service, made mum and I feel very welcome for lunch. Tasty food and a good selection. Cote has proved itself a reliable option in the local town, I use regularly.

A lovely evening. A friendly welcome with the requested table waiting for us, with an unexpected birthday treat waiting for me from the staff, who made the evening extra special. A big thank you to them!

Enjoyable experience. Unfortunately every time you go some dishes have run out, however always able to find an alternative. Free birthday kir royale was added to bill and we had to wait for manager to come down and take it off!

A great place fo for a quiet meal with family and friends. Attentive staff who were happy to indulge and talk to my young daughter. Had a query on the starter, which was rectified quickky without fuss.

Good food, good service. All staff very pleasant and helpful nice and friendly. The atmosphere was buzzy without being too noisy. On a cold night, it was lovely and warm inside.

Great evening - good food.( service excellent as usual) One of the better experiences of food we’ve had recently. Have you changed your chef ?

Excellent food with great service. My wife and I had a delicious main course and a bottle of wine. Very nice on a Tuesday evening and excellent value for money.

Food was as advertised. Service was actually excellent . Ambilence was very pleasant. Would be happy to go back.Nothing more to add to this review! 25 words done.

Welcome good, initially service was good, but had to ask for coffee and dessert. However, we enjoyed the lunch which was a birthday celebration and would be happy to visit again in the future. Staff very friendly.

Excellent service and lovely food. Previous poor experience rectified this time by the manager and I could see positive changes, true measure of good service is even that happens. Well done Cote

No we will never come here again.. left and went next door to bills! Booked table in advance but told when we arrived they had made a table for us two uneven small tables pushed together under the stairs. Staff were rude. Seemed someonhow our fault

Fantastic and great service ! went for mother’s day meal and the food did not disappoint. Would recommend for amazing food and service. Restaurant was perfect for kids aswell.

First time eating at Cote. Food was very good and service excellent. Definitely recommend

Despite a slight problem with a mushroom allergy the staff coped very well. Teresa in particular was exceptional. A very pleasant evening. We really enjoyed our outing.

Because of a big party it took 2 hours to feed 3 adults and two children with two course meals. The Manageress apologised and credited bottle of wine.

Lovely food , the service was very good very friendly. Would definitely recommended this Restaurant and will be going back soon. Christina

I had booked early menu for three , nice welcome , we were celebrating a fiftieth , ordered champagne , which was warm Not chilled , waiter spilt champagne on Opening which we all ignored but were not impressed by . Food came in time and was good , we were not attended to through our meal , and as weak times had to get up To get more drinks . All ok not as good as it had been in past , feel lack of managerial presence seems to be reason for poorer customer experience . The kitchen waiter dejuvwfinv the food orders seems to have more floor control than head waiter ? Not sure what is going on

Improvement but still not great Staff pleasant but poor leadership wd went on Tuesday early evening three of our menu choices not available the branch shows no floor management And thus effect whole dining and customer experience

We enjoyed our meal and the care all of the staff took of my niece in a wheelchair was impressive you made everything very simple thank you.

Nice relaxed bistro, nice location. Sadly, moule frites was very disappointing and had to be returned. Mussels were absolutely tiny and 3/4 of shells were empty. That being said, the restaurant happily exchanged this for the poulet grille and didn't charge for mussels or replacement dish. Poulet grille was absolutely amazing! Sauce, herbs, mushrooms, seasoning all very much on point. We will definitely visit again.

service and food was very good. My husband and I enjoyed our mussels and desserts and our friends enjoyed their special meals for starters and mains.

Great food, good wine, great service as always! Be back again soon!

All very nice - food, service, ambiance, comfort, etc. Cote is one of our favourite restaurants. It isn't cheap but good value. Thank you very much!

Fabulous food as always. Great staff attentive but not intrusive . Great service and relaxing atmosphere

A lovely meal, given as a birthday present. We will be back.

Great meal and and staff outstanding. A special meal for us at Easter and not disappointed. It is our special place and shall return very soon, Pav a great manager.

A regular venue for pre-theatre dinners. All works well. Thank you

We’ve been here many times, great atmoshpere, great food, it is our place, little France :-) highly recommended, looking forward to our next lovely dinner, hoping to get snails next time :-)

Service and food quality is getting worse at this branch. You do not seem to be able to keep a team together. Last night's meal was marked by poor service, a lack of attention to detail and improper presentation of main course dishes. The new service staff seemed to be lacking in training. I will be looking for another quality venue.

The smoke detector went off while we were having our meal. Staff made no attempt to apologies!! The restaurant smelt of smoke!! Rather a disappointing experience. This is a shame as normally staff are very friendly and attentive. We paid the bill and staff did not even say “good bye”

Always good quality food and a nice atmosphere for a very reasonable price. Service polite if a little bit slow on this particular evening when awaiting main course, hence only 5 out of 6. But overall very good value.

The staff gave us a very pleasant welcome. The food was excellent and very good value for money Atmosphere very comfortable and staff were obliging we look forward to another visit

The staff were very welcoming and met all our requests. My wife has a very good fillet steak with French fries and I enjoyed roast sea bass followed by apple tart. The quality and quantity was very good. Overall a very good experience and we look forward to further visits

Excellent food, great service, couldn’t fault it. Very nice place to eat

This is a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. Food is always to a high standard. Very nice wines on offer. It is also family friendly, we have brought our toddler on occasion.

So embarrassing having indercooked chicken served to our invited friend who’d never been there before! However, we appreciated your apology, the bill adjustment and vouchers. We still find the Bishop’s Stortford restaurant to be far too noisy and have no plans to return.

Lovely food really tasty , would definitely go there again. Nice atmosphere and lady that served us was very attentive and friendly. Great place to have our breakfast

We went last Friday 17/5. Sadly my meal was luke warm and after sending it back it returned a bit warmer but the pork crackling had gone soft. I guess it was microwaved to heat it up. The other meals in our party were OK but I did hear someone next to us having to send their steak back. So overall, this visit was not a good experience. Chris C

only excepting pre booked due to flood in kitchen ! They should have cancelled everyone. Zero atmosphere and poor food. Waste of our money and time.

Very friendly and helpful staff, delicious food. Very busy as it was mother's day and they were rushed off their feet but the staff still provided fab service.

Nice meal with friendly staff, thanks for a nice evening.

Great food and service as always. thank you . .

celebrating 3 family birthdays on a Sunday lunch Everything splendid. Menu to suit everyone well prepared food and really sparkling friendly helpful service made the icing on the cake Never a bad experience when you come to Cote

I would like to thank you so much, my friend had a great birthday breakfast and the staff made the experience even better. The vegetarian sausage are incredible, I'm not a veggie myself so was impressed how good they are! I will definitely use Cote again in the future. Thank you again

Great Breakfast seemed to be a bit understaffed today so initially service was a little slow, however once order was taken drinks then food swiftly arrived Well done
