Good food snappy service and reasonable cost. Great location for Millennium Centre. Not sure about including "optional" tip on bill would prefer if tip was entirely voluntary. Who gets the tip I wonder?

This is a great place to eat! The staff are totally professional - friendly without being gushing, attentive without being over familiar and superbly well organised and calm. The food was excellent - really tasty and cooked exactly how we ordered. Somewhere in this chain is top quality management and training -

Excellent service and lovely meal however we had to send back both a bowl of olives (very dry and odd tasting, looked like they had been left out for hours) and a bowl of grapes from the cheeseboard (they had mould on them) both hastily replaced by the lovely server though.

Food was actually very delicious. But I resent the 12.5% gratuity charge. I get that it's stated on tbe menu, and clearly defined that all tips go to staff. I'd still rather decide in my own tip. TAble for 4 was too small for us. Felt very squashed, but as mentioned earlier, food was great, and we would return.

Visited for theatre trip. Arrived 5.45 needed to be out by 7.20 latest which restaurant knew. Ordered 3 course celebration menu. Mains took so long that we had to forgo desert despite paying for it. Pretty poor. They offered us our desert after the theatre ended but no one wanted it at 10.15! Cote had our money but didn't deliver. Unusually poor service.

Yet another excellent meal at Cote Brasserie in the Bay. Had 3 courses each and all 6 plates were pretty much licked clean and all washed down with some lovely wine! Thank you :)

Generally love the steak frites at Cote but on this visit like boot leather, no sign of pink. Set back, they were happy to change, but really no better, although did take off the bill. Overall disappointing.

I ordered the belly pork, it was really disappointing, very fatty and not much actual meat. I know belly pork is a fatty cut but there was so little meat in my portion it wasn't worth the money in my opinion. I mentioned this to the waitress and she apologised but that was it, no offer of anything in return. Overall the food was ok but I won't be rushing back there.

The Cardiff Bay Cote Brasserie has a lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food...I also feel it is good value for money considering the menu and cuisine - two of us had three courses each and a bottle of wine for just over £75 - including service charge! We had booked in for date night and had a wonderful time - will definitely be back again!

Attended the restaurant to celebrate my husbands birthday. We seated promptly and given plenty of time to make our choice. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our food was hot, well presented and delicious. We chose from the celebration set menu which was excellent value for money and the champagne included was cold, crisp and delightful. The creme caramel was the best I've had in a long time (and I lived in France for 5 years). We would definitely dine here again.

Lovely food and excellent service. Had the early bird meal, which as always was great value for money and good choice. The only reason that I haven't given the evening top marks is that the restaurant is very noisy - so conversation is a bit hard.

Disappointed with lack of attentive service during the meal. Our main course never materialised but FULL MARKS to the manager who put his hands up and said there had been a cock up in the kitchen with our order. We didn't get charged for the food - he was very sorry. I can deal with honesty - it hasn't put us off going to Cote. Score of 5 for the way the manager dealt with things

Always has lovely food , the seasonal specials are exactly that, and the waiting staff are pleasant. The fish soup starter is gorgeous, and a complementary glass of kir for my birthday just adds to the pleasure.

Food was great, waiters were lovely and kept asking if we needed anything. Only downside was that it took us ages to get the bill and when we finally got it it took them ages to come over with the card machine.

The food was lovely, however I think they mis-represented the Camembert starter. we were expecting a small camembert each but what cam out was a flat pitta bread with too much onions and only a tiny bit of camembert. overall brilliant £13 for three courses, you can't really go wrong.
