Lovely meal good value. Gratuity added to bill is not right, please allow customer decide how much the service is worth could be worth more the 12.5%!

Another excellent lunch at Cote Brasserie. Never disappoints. We selected the £15 special menu- charantais melon and savoire ham was delicious and plentiful. The French onion soup, as always, superb. Have to say la piece de la resistance was the belly pork. It was so tender you could cut it with a spoon. The potato gratin was great too. Two large glasses of their always good merlot and it all added up to a wonderful to a lunch. Can't wait for our next visit!

As ever the food was of a good standard and reasonably priced. However on this occasion the service fell way below the normal standard. No waiting staff and 2 managers more interested in setting tables for the evening and talking to their friends.

Generally a lovely meal - but some disagreement about what constituted a medium steak?? Our waitress agreed with us but the manager begged to differ. All well in the end with smiles and a complimentary pudding for us. And we had a lovely night out with our son. Thank you!

I've always enjoyed eating here but tonight was a little under par. The waiter was pleasant but very busy and forgot a drinks order and side plates for bread. I ordered the duck which arrived overcooked but was still tasty. My mum ordered the cod goujons which she enjoyed.

Chicken wasn’t great but chocolate mousse was very nice! Pleasant atmosphere. Garlic bread was too big as a starter. Wine was very good as was the crème caramel.

OK but some discussion re voucher for free aperitifs. Eventually resolved to my satisfaction. Food good and service up to standard. It's 'our go' to restaurant. The 12.5% service is a bit high but service is generally good.

Good food but Had to ask twice for our table to be cleared and to see the desert menu. With a 12.5% service charge added, one would expect a higher standard of table service especially when the restaurant was not especially busy.

The pre-theatre set menu was removed from the table even before 6:30am, when it should be available at 7pm; The 12.5% service charge was added on our bill without any notification or questions. Both items above has given us an unpleasant feeling of being set up in a trap - if it was well communicated, it would have been much better. And I think for the two reasons above, I would not book here again. The seafood is not fresh, and overall the quality of food is below average.

We had a lovely, convivial, dinner as a celebration of our son's graduation. My only complaint is that the price for the set menu had gone up by £5/head -- whereas the sign outside still displayed the old, cheaper, price. The food was delicious and the service attentive and charming...although we could have done with a better welcome when we arrived with one extra person; the problem was resolved at once so why was it ever a problem...perhaps a bit more flexibility is called for?

Excellent carpaccio of tuna, which we both chose. I then had a vegetable risotto, which wasn't bad but did not achieve the right texture for either the rice or the liquid. My companion's duck breast arrived very, very undercooked, though she had asked for it pink. The restaurant did, however, take it away and cooked it more, so that she enjoyed it -- and decided to deduct the whole item from the bill, because of the trouble we had had. The service was efficient and charming. Had there not been the deduction, the price of just over £60, with two small glasses of wine and bread, would have been reasonable, though not cheap.

Lovely atmosphere as usual and delicious starters but the mains unfortunately were dry (hake and chicken - the latter very dry as were the potatoes as if they had been left warming up for too long) we were too hungry to notify/ask for a redo and wait again at the time which was a shame though were offered complimentary deserts (we were too full so had a coffee eachbinstead).

Choose Cote for lunch with my friend on her annual visit from Australia, knowing the food is always good and reasonably priced. The savoury omlette with fries and salad were perfect and my sea bream was beautifully cooked and served. Nobody hurried us to leave after we finished eating. A good and fulfilling experience on all counts.

Excellent meal, service and surroundings. I would like to offer a special thanks to the manager and our waitress in making our 30th wedding anniversary meal such a special occasion and one we will remember. We are regular customers to the Cambridge restaurant and will continue to be so.
