Fabulous food, fantastic staff and a lovely relaxing place to visit. Highly recommended for every occasion. Beautiful place to sit and watch the world go by. I really cannot praise the staff highly enough.

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.

A nice restaurant with good service, good food and atmosphere. The restaurant was busy but this didn't impact on the service. Plenty of choice and not expensive.

The food was very good and the two people serving our table were very friendly. I felt on arrival I could have been dealt with somewhat better. I also do not like to be presented with the tip already added to the bill. I prefer to make this decision independently. I must also say that I still do not know how your loyalty scheme works.

As usual - efficient booking system, good quiet table near the window, and quality food at a very reasonable price. You can count on Cote!

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.

The staff are always very friendly, polite and genuinely helpful and wish to help. The menu is balanced to cater for all tastes. The food is always very tasty, well presented and portions are very generous. Wine delicious also. Filtered water is provided. The restaurant is very popular and so can be a bit crowded but some of the tables are in quieter corners than others. We always enjoy Cote Brasserie in Cambridge.

A lovely experience. All the good was really tasty. To have given it a 6, the side dishes of vegetables needed to be a bit hotter but would definitely recommend the restaurant.

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.

As we come to expect both the food and service were great despite the fact that it was Mothers Day! We will be back soon either in Cambridge or another Cote. Rumour has it you are going to open in Harpenden- keeping my fingers crossed that this is true.

As usual, very good service. My food was good, however my chicken was perhaps a little dry - more of the delicious mushroom and cream sauce would have solved that. The service was good however not keen that 12.5% is automatically added. I prefer to leave cash for the waitress/kitchen as wonder if the staff receive the 12.5% on top of their wages.

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.

It was a busy pre theatre dinner service and I think there were problems in the kitchens. Our starters took a long time to arrive and by the time the mains were served we had 15 minutes to eat them. We spoke to staff a couple of times about this and they did apologise for the slowness. In the event it was not as enjoyable as usual. The restaurant did give us 50% off our food bill which was a generous gesture. We will return to the restaurant as we usually have very good food and the service is good.

Excellent food, had the crab mayo, sirloin steak and frozen berries and would highly recommend all three courses. The evening felt a bit rushed at times but understandable given our booking was at 10pm. Staff were extremely helpful. Didn't hurt that they encouraged us to come again with the promise of a free bottle of wine! Will definitely return

Nice ambience, good service (perhaps a little overdone) - food was good (although nothing special) but portions small - not the place to go if you are hungry - not expensive, so on the whole, worth trying again
