Beautiful location. Food presentation and quality was not as expected. Portions are small and not interesting. Stake was overcooked and tough like leather. Very disappointing.

Good food and efficient service despite the restaurant being full. Had the early bird deal and thought it was good value for money. Good atmosphere in both the restaurant and Bay Area in general

Glad we booked our pre theatre table. We have eaten at the Cote Brasserie in central Cardiff too and both establishments are excellent, provide delicious food. Service is first class too. We will be going to Cardiff later this month and are planning to visit the Cote again. Thankyou!

Excellent food, very friendly staff and excellent service. We had booked a table for 8.00pm but arrived in Cardiff earlier that expected. We popped into Cote restaurant to ask if we could dine a little earlier. This was no problem and we had a really lovely evening. Highly recommended

Considering that the post and pre theatre goers filled the restaurant to capacity, the food and service could not be faulted. the menu was varied, good choices for all. Just one little thing, if there are no vegetables served with a main course, this being French style, it would be rather nice to ask the client if they would like chips etc....maybe.

Another very enjoyable dinner at Cote. The food was great and the service was very good and very friendly. We particularly enjoyed the pissaladiere, crab mayonnaise, cote de boeuf. We also got a free bottle of wine too which is always a good thing.

On a very very busy evening before a Concert in the Bay. The staff took great care with my request for food without garlic. The food was delicious as always. A bit too noisy for conversation due to full restaurant.

Very good meal - as always. One of the good things about Cote is their consistency. Only thing this evening the tarte au citron was disappointing - soft pastry & not much lemon taste.

Ate here twice in a short break in Cardiff Bay. Lunch was as always very good value. For dinner we all started with the chicken liver pate which again was good as always. Between us we enjoyed a very large serving of calamari, duck and fish. My husband could not resist the chocolate mousse and greatly enjoyed it. Very attentive staff and atwo very pleasant experiences.

Shown to our table and our order for drinks was taken almost straight away. Chose the pre theatre menu which at £13.50 for 3 courses was excellent value. All our food was delicious and good sized potions. Staff very attentive. Venue lovely inside and background music wasn't too loud so we were able to have a decent conversation. All in all an excellent experience.

No soup spoon for the soup! £20+ service charge which is non-discretionary. Food was warm but not hot. Green salad was very limited and comprised some very 'tired' brown leaves.

We chose food from the fixed price lunch menu. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Only reason I didn’t give them a 6 was because one of the soup dishes was barely warm (all the others were piping hot). The waiter was very apologetic and replaced the soup very quickly. Service was excellent.

My party enjoyed our meal but soup without a bread roll is unusual in a quality restaurant, the service was adequate but the 12.5% service charge while optional is too much to expect diners to pay or refuse to pay. 10% would be more than enough. However we will return.

The 3 of us enjoyed Cote very much. Service very efficient and friendly, easy. We all ate different dishes and all enjoyed unanimous. Simple and very well done. I am a keen cook and rarely eat burgers but chose the cote burger for some reason. Will be back for another at some point, all best paul

We have visited this restaurant many times and have always found the food and service of good quality. There was a slight problem on the 16th October where one item appeared to have been reheated not served fresh. The manager took this complaint seriously , apologised and compensated accordingly. I am sure this was only a temporary blip. As I said this is the only time we've had a complaint after numerous visits.

Although Optional, the excessive 12.5% gratuity charge is off putting. You have to make a slightly embarrassing request to have it removed from the bill. Apart from that, the food and service is very good. I highly recommend it to anybody flush with cash and looking for a very good restaurant.
