Food and service was really good, however due to volume of noise coming from a nearby table we were unable to have a conversation on our table

I love this restaurant - great food and atmosphere - I have marked it down today as two of the December specials weren't available - which meant I couldn't take advantage of their pre 7.00pm deal - bit poor - one was French Onion Soup.

Excellent food and adequate service. 12.5% service charge was however excessive as service was nothing special! We would happily visit again. No more to say!

Steak was tough, could taste fat. French waitress made us feel as though we should hurry up & choose our food, we could see you were busy. It wasn’t the usual stress free atmosphere. The soup was the best part of the meal. Will go back to city centre next time as I don’t think The Bay is as good.

Food tasted good but could have been hotter. Whole experience felt rather rushed. Very convenient for the Welsh Millennium Centre and parking in multistorey car Park (A little expensive). Set three course menu is good value for money.

We regularly visit the Cote Brasserie in Cardiff and would always rate a 5 star both on service and quality, but our visit to your restaurant in the bay was very disappointing. My mum ordered the Lamb Parmentier shepherd's which arrived burnt and was very dry as was the two other chicken breast meals. This is such a shame as we have always enjoyed visiting your restaurants, it was extremely busy and I must say the service was friendly and efficient.

This is an excellent restaurant. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Food is always amazing and gluten free comes with a gluten free flag which is so reassuring. We eat here a lot for this reason as well as it being so good.

We had to wait a long time between the starter and main course. We had made it known that we were off to the theatre but it made little difference. The main course had to be eaten quicker rather than taking our time. No dessert as we needed to leave for the theatre. I love cote and the food but the timing of the food arriving has been off in the past 2 visits.

Decent food, nice ambiance, dessert a little overpriced. Steak not cooked quite to my liking. Service charge of 10% added to the bill based a table of 2 seems a bit excessive. No real service provided!

Cote Brasserie is usually our first choice - either in the Bay or in the City Centre - when we're going to a concert or show. Their 'early evening' two-course offer is a real bargain, and we've never been disappointed - the food is really delicious, whether on the 'offer' or from the a la carte menu. The wines are also excellent. The staff are invariably polite and helpful. Can't fault it in any way.

In the main the food was good and the staff very welcoming and attentive. However we were disappointed with the Cassoulet which was a November special. Not very authentic and too dry and the croutons a little burned. Also your entry door has a problem and does not close properly and the draught was very uncomfortable. It was a very cold night!!!

French themed brasserie, pleasantly situated in Cardiff Bay. Food and service are good, but not outstanding. We had the boudon noir and calamari to start, the former a little overdone. The calamari was fresh and well cooked, however. We had beef fillet for mains, both cooked to order although not the best cuts, or tastiest. Desserts of coupe noir and chocolate fondant were ok.
