Good value, high quality meal as usual. Attentive waiting staff. I had the hake from the "pre-theatre" menu, followed by the creme caramel - both very tasty and well presented. We had limited time, so kept to 2 courses, and I thought we had to wait a little too long before the meal appeared from the kitchen - but worth waiting!

Had to (greedily) remind about a special offer and bread allegedly included with soup - but staff very pleasant despite being busy and food excellent.

My guest had to return his muscles which were inedible and should not have been served.rightly an apology was made and no charge for them and 2 glasses of wine were given free.this is the first time this has ever happened and friends a and I eat 1\2 times per month. Handled well but shouldn't have happenedf

Food is classic french, cooked to a good standard, with plenty of choice. Wine is reasonable, even the house. Side dishes àre overpriced. Staff are friendly & attentive.

It's really good to go to a restaurant and be recognised as you enter. It's not as if we go as frequently as once a month to this Cote. Monica was on good form and our waitress Agatha was very efficient and always smiling. We go to an number of Cotes and always find charming and polite staff who find the time to chat a little as they are working which we really appreciate. Keep it up and well done in opening a new restaurant in Harpenden this week. It's our home town but we will still visit others in the area just to experience the slight difference between restaurants.

The waiter was rude. Impatient. He made a faces. Made us feel we weren't spending enough. Finally, we asked him to take the service charge off the bill. He didn't ask why. Obviously he knew. Other waiters were fine.

Extremely busy, but it was Fireworks night, so no surprise. Main reason for the 3 was not the service it was the heat - it was so hot that it was actually uncomfortable to be there and I ended up standing outside for a while just to stop myself passing out!! Food was average - my teenage boys ordered the steak and chips which was literally that - a steak and some chips, no dressing of the plate, just a slab of meat (which was cold) and a pile of chips. Very underwhelming. My meal, was excellent, both the main and dessert. As was my husband's, otherwise the rating would have been lower.

Food was superb, service fantastic However we were charged for food that did not arrive. Also I had a Cote award, recognised when I arrived but it appeared on bill. When questioned the free desert was taken off but not the free glass of sweet wine. It should not take 3 attempts to get bill right. I do not blame delighful Bulgarian waiter as all this should be automated but something went wrong.

Easy to book online, confirmation email received. Really knowledgable staff with prompt service. Food very tasty. Only criticism would the tuna steak in the Niçoise salad was very thin and more well done than I would have liked. Will definitely be going back.

Regrettably, this visit fell short of the usual high standards. We had to offer evidence of the complimentary bottle of wine to 2 different waiters, Our starter was served despite having no cutlery laid on the table. We had to walk to the bar to attract help. The restaurant had run out of the Duck. I was served a Port with my dessert which was 'putrid' and way past it's sell by date. We eat here at least once a month and usually have a wonderful experience.

Cote always comes up trumps and the Cambridge branch is not exception. Food is of excellent quality- our Breton stew had excellent fresh ingredients and was spicy and tasty and perfect for a chilly Cambridge evening. Service excellent and punctual.Wine list easy to navigate, good value and well chosen. This is my go-to restaurant in Cambridge and will continue to be so.

Simple and very well executed French bistro style food, in a a relaxed atmosphere with friendly, knowledgeable and professional waiting staff. The steak frites is a classic, and see if you can decide between the chocolate pot and the chocolate mousse - both delicious.

We had a really good meal, the rump of lamb was delicious. Service was excellent, staff are friendly and attentive, but remain very professional. This is one of our favourite eating places in Cambridge. You do need to book a table, certainly on Fridays and Saturdays.
