TThe next (outdoor) table was provided with an ashtray and cigarette smoke was blown over us whilst eating.Disgusting. The smoking party appeared to be drinking only, not buying food .

Meals were lovely but poached eggs could have been cooked a little more, the whites of my daughter's poached eggs were a little underdone. Otherwise great brunch.

The excellence of this restaurant continues. Food, service and atmosphere provide a most enjoyable experience each time we visit. It is certainly our preferred 'pre-opera' eatery!

Very good for pre-opera meal. Friendly staff and efficient service. Food of a good standard for a 'chain'. Specials seem good value but we usually choose from the 'a la carte'.

We had booked but were delayed because of traffic. Staff were very helpful when we phoned to tell them . There was no problem in getting booking amended. Staff always very helpful and pleasant. Enjoyed food. The restaurant was quite noisy, acoustics a bit loud intensified by activities outside in the piazza.

unfortunately, we didn't get to dine at Cote. There had been an incident and the Gas was switched off. The staff were however, very helpful and accommodating and offered us a taxi to the nearest Cote which is in the City centre. We declined this, as had already parked up.

Lunch for four very comfortable in the restaurant. Good food nicely served and enjoyable wine reasonably priced. One dish of haddock came over cooked and was immediately replaced with a correctly cooked dish without the slightest fuss. All in all very good

Always enjoy this restaurant for pre theatre meal. As usual our waitress was friendly and looked after us very well. One slight niggle, bit disappointed with the non response from the tall man/manager who when clearing our dessert plates, I commented that it could may do with more crumble on the so called peach crumble!

As always at either the Bay or city centre Cote, this was lovely from start to finish: excellent service throughout (even holding the door open on the way in and out), a very pleasant table and delicious, plentiful food (fish parmentier and haddock in bacon).

Great staff, excellent choice of food & wine. Sadly let down by poor quality cooking of vegetables. The manager very apologetic & did not charge us but such a shame that chef couldn't get it right with French beans or spinach. Will go back because I enjoy Cote & quality usually v reliable.

Mostly very good but spoiled by 3 food issuess., Service & staff were very good. Desserts were great. Food issues were firstly 2 of the 3 special main courses had run out. We dined quite late but there were a considerable number of other diners arriving after us. I wanted salmon which is easily obtained & felt more should have been in stock. 2nd issue was toasted sour dough with starter of goats cheese & tomatoes was overcooked & so hard it was difficult to eat. 3rd issue was the leeks were so tough & stringy they were inedible in the otherwise excellent fish pie. I was given some spinach to compensate but as you can imagine it spoiled the dish having to pick out all the leeks. I found this strange as leeks are very soft easy to cook vegetables & I've never experienced such a problem before.
