On the whole the experience was good with excellent table service and prompt attention. I would have given top marks if the food was delivered more promptly (45 minutes for the starter) and some of the mains a bit dry from hanging around. Will still go again as it's one of my favourite places but hope for a better outcome.

The service, layout of restaurant , and quality of food was perfect. The perfect venue for myself and friend, we were not rushed in any way enabling us to rest and savour our food between courses, we were not even hassled for the bill. We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant.

A very pleasant meal. The waiting staff were very good, even if the service was just a little slow. It was perhaps unfortunate that we were a bit tight for time. We shall certainly come again sometime!

On this occasion we visited Cote Quakers Friars because I had been sent a voucher after a previous poor experience. This time it was excellent. We were able to take advantage of the complimentary cocktail which much enhanced the experience. The food (sea bass with fennel and champagne sauce) was superb and confirmed my view that the à la carte menu is much superior to the fixed price. I still think that it would be sensible to combine the two price fixe menus and offer smaller and simpler plates for a lower price but I will go again and hope that I can have an experience from the fixed price tgat is equivalent to the excellent experience yesterday! The service was very good too.

Starter unfortunately took almost an hour to come. We were eventually told there was a backlog of orders in the kitchen and ours would be two minutes, still took a further 20 + minutes to come.

Another great evening at Cote. Tried the more expensive set menu and was really impressed with the quality of food. Good value for money. The staff are friendly and efficient and the setting is lovely especially in the summer when you can sit outside in the square.

We visited this restaurant whilst my niece was staying with me from Bordeaux. The staff, always friendly and welcoming, were very apologetic for not having any seabass ( which we all had decided upon!) and we were offered a complimentary drink, which we much enjoyed. We did choose the July offer of roast cod..which was delicious. We look forward to seeing the August specials! Thank you for making the evening special

The food was very good, service was excellent- some of the best in Bristol. The only thing which lets it down is that smoking is permitted in the relatively small outside area. Tables are close together and with the parasol up, people smoking made it really unpleasant. Other than that, fantastic, and a bargain if you have the set 2/3 course set menu.

When I booked I mentioned it was my daughter's graduation celebration and hoped one of the staff would congratulate her, but that didn't happen. The food was reasonable apart from the steak which at first was dry,tough and overdone, then bloody and only to my daughter's taste on the third attempt. To the restaurant's credit, it removed the charge for this menu and apologised for not getting it right first time. The waitress was excellent.

General good, however the overall experience was completely ruined by the quality of one of the mains. My mother ordered a burger that came completely burned! A new burger was brought to out table but was still over cooked. The quality of the meat was also very poor. I paid the bill in full, but I actually regret having paid for it. I can’t understand how can cote Brasserie serve a main course with worse quality than a frozen burger from an average surpermarket and not even know how to cook it. Very disapointing experience.

A generally nice time . Most of the food was very nice. However, the vegie sausages and potatoes were a bit dry and boring. The wine was lovely. The service was fine. The free drinks were lovely - I can't remember what it was called though. Thanks

The service was good but my squid was over cooked (not enough to make a fuss but enough to make it less enjoyable). The starter portions were too large to make it possible to eat all if it and enjoy the main. I didn’t like the two lunch menus. Why not price it in the middle and make both better.

I must admit there is a real french flavour to dining at Cote Brassiere in Cabot Circus the choice of a la carte or set or premium menus is brilliant.
