Had booked for pre-theatre early 2 course set price meal. The staff were helpful and the food was tastey and hot. One small point is that the main course is served with potato but no other vegetables. We ordered additional veg at an extra cost. As the 2 course meal is so reasonable this was not a problem.

The starter was lukewarm, the main course hake was overcooked and dry and the dessert was also lukewarm. I informed the waiter and he mumbled an apology. Service was good though

excellent service and good food what more can you ask for. i had the duck with the cherry sauce which was very good only downside was it was very noisy which meant my partner got creme caramel for dessert instead of creme brulee.

Very nice food, good atmosphere. Possibly a little over rated / over priced. Tables close to each other so don't expect privacy.... but overall very enjoyable experience and will certainly return and recommend.

Great night as usual. Soup and salad delicious, steaks good and best cremes caramels ever ! How does Cote manage to produce such good food at such reasonable prices ?? Service always first class despite how busy they were with pre-theatre crowd.

Disappointing Caasoulet main course and rather dis-interested service. The first time we have ever found Côte fall short. Maybe it was because it was so busy.

Overall good. Could do with a large thick curtain over the entrance as the draft is bad each time someone comes or goes. Good selection of dishes, but got feeling of being left under heat lamp for too long.

First visit to this restaurant, had pre-booked table for 2 for pre-theatre meal. Lovely welcome with no waiting. Prompt but not pushy service and attention. Excellent meal although the garlic bread appetiser didn't have much garlic flavour, if any. But well cooked and vey tasty main courses; I had chicken my wife cod goujons, and beautiful desserts. Will definitely visit again when we are in Cardiff Bay - we live some 25 miles/40 minutes drive from Cardiff Bay. No hesitation in recommending.

excellent food as usual, service at the beginning was a little slow, our designated waiter delayed taking our food order owing to him being monopolized in conversation with 2 customers, staff should be trained to break away politely, we waited perhaps 15 minutes for our order to be taken, therefore from first entering to first course was about 1 hour. Unusual compared to our many previous visits.

Good quality produce served efficiently in a friendly environment. 2 of us shared the cote De boeuf, which was flavourful and nicely presented. One other had a rib-eye steak and our final diner enjoyed lasagna. All washed down with some Cotes du Rhone. Delicious.

We had a very enjoyable supper at Cote Cardiff Bay. The food was fresh and flavoursome. Only criticism was the noise levels very high - could use some soft furnishings to help absorb the noise.

Despite the fact that we were late due to traffic, and the restaurant was pretty full, the staff were welcoming and friendly and had us fed in time to go to the WMC for "Beautiful" (where all the other diners seemed to be going too!). Only slight hitch was our forgotten starter, but dealt with so charmingly and so delicious when it arrived that it was easy to forgive. We will return!
