Had a wonderful meal, waiters & waitresses extremely helpful and happy which is nice to see, drinks were a bit slow but then it was very busy due to the amount of people in Cardiff for the Jay Z & Beyoncé show overall would definitely recommend :)

We visited as a group of four. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Food was of good quality. One of our group found his soup was somewhat over-seasoned with pepper, but otherwise we found nothing to criticise!

Lovely place, good and attentive staff, the food was beautifully cooked and presented. The calamari starter was particularly good. Didn’t feel at all rushed. Good value for money. Will definitely go back.

I am a returning customer to Cote as it is very close to my place of work and highly convenient for business lunches. Unfortunately on this occasion I had the Calamari to start and found the portion far too large (I realise most people would love extra but I felt myself obliged to eat a but more than I usually would for a starter for fear of offending my guest and the chef). The main course of sirloin steak was very tough. The waiter was very apologetic and as a good will gesture the coffees and sides ordered were credited from the bill which I thought was sufficient to make up for it. Overall slightly disappointed as the food is usually of very high standard and spot on but I will return and won't let this put me off.

We were seated straight away on a lovely table which was great. The restaurant wasn’t busy and we had to wait a very long time for the food. When the food arrived our fritters were cold so were our peas, by then we were in a hurry so didn’t ask to send them back. Our bill was originally wrong and we had to wait ages for someone to come and bring us the card machine when I asked twice and there were many members of staff around. I am quite disappointed because I visit Cote on regular basis in Bristol and I’ve never been left disappointed before. The meal in Cardiff was a treat for my friend’s birthday booked by me.

Very good food and service. The only negative comment is about the main entrance door off the street, which - of necessity - kept opening and closing as customers entered of left. This created significant cold air draughts for those of us sitting with our backs to the door.

The food was ok. The mussel starter I had was a very small portion but tasty. I had ribeye steak which was a bit gristly. The wine was nice and so was the pudding. Friendly helpful staff - it was just the food that was a bit of a let down this time. We opted for the more expensive set menu and it wasn’t as good as the cheaper one we usually have so not such good value.

We were very pleased with our pre-concert lunch. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The timeliness of the meal was just right and the quality, presentation and quantity of our lunch was perfect for us. All in all, just what we were looking for. Absolutely no faults to find with this restaurant .

This was our first time to Cote , it's a lovely restaurant, staff were pleasant and all our meals were excellent and very tasty. My only gripe was that in a similar restaurant around the corner they give you free bread and butter while waiting for your meal perhaps you could give this some thought. Would definitely recommend and would return.

The food and service was excellent. One of our party was gluten & dairy free and was looked after very well. The only slight criticism we had was that the side orders were quite expensive for the size we received.

We had a lovely meal, mostly. When we raised a problem with the steak being a bit chewy but acceptable (given we had a deadline - tickets for St David's Hall) - we had a very good response. The manager came over to offer complimentary desserts and coffees. As we were on a deadline, we accepted coffee but were very pleased to have the cost of those AND two large glasses of wine, removed from the bill! Thank you Cote!
