This is the first time I have visited Cote outside of the great value set menu times so ate from the a la carte menu. The veal escalop was extremely good as were the lamb chops. You do however have to buy sides as an extra. Service was very friendly and efficient in spite of being very busy.

Nice staff, food good. We have been to Cote in Peterborough on a previous occasion which was better, but I guess Cambridge is a bigger/busier restaurant, so maybe that was why?

Good food and atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff. Not a 6 only because Cote serves a main dish salad in a bowl - almost impossible to tackle with a knife and fork.

Typically French but better cooking than you get in many restaurants in France nowadays. Excellent service as usual. I am writing so many reviews because we are going to Cote so many times it is difficult to write without repetition. We all had a very happy lunch until 4ish.

Sadly swordfish special was off so was sent back. There was also a new waiter who wasn't really up to speed with service. We were compensated with a free main and drinks. Normally much, much better.

Staff didn't know which order was for whom. Waiter changed sauce for a steak from one plate of food to another when he didn't know who had ordered what. Spinach was very salty - this was a comment made by several dinners. The "complementary" water was tap water in a bottle - what, am I meant to be impressed? Nice bottle, is it also complimentary, can I take it home? I hope the 12.5% service charge, automatically added to my bill, actually goes to the staff and not into the company coffers. Altogether slightly disappointing. Would I recommend - a good question.

As always, reliably good food and service. Only downside that my husbands burger was overdone. Apparently no longer allowed to serve medium/rare !! Apart from that everything was great as usual.

The restaurant seems to be very popular coz when we were there, we saw the staff turned down many walk- in customers . The place was packed. The food is great and the staff is so friendly and effiecient. The only down side was when it was full house like this , we needed to wait quite a while for our food.

The Food was nice, but my duck breast was warm, rather than hot, and the watercress garnish consisted of mant brown leaves and a lot of root. I wouldn't have garnished any dish at home with that standard of green. My son's risotto vert was tasty, but could have done with some more pesto.I didn't say anything in the restaurant, as sending back food is always difficult for the other diners. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Food was good but service was not as good as it usually is at Cote. We came 10 min early and we were asked to wait, which is fine but we were not offered to order drinks. Tables were not cleaned properly, service was slow and chaotic and at the end waiter was not up to standards, He expected from me and my Mum to help him with passing empty plates and he only longed his hand towards us without at least politely asking us to help....very surprising and not the type of service we like.
