The restaurant was very busy as it was a few days before Christmas day, but the service was just as good as it always is. So was the food.

Centrally located so easy to get to when shopping. Very pleasant atmosphere and staff, we visit COTE’s regular without any issue however my prawn starter yesterday was dry and chewy resulting in me not being able to eat it. This was an exception the remainder of our meals (starters, main & desserts) were very tastey. In fairness to Cote’s they noted the left starter and asked if there was a problem and consequently removed the cost from our bill.

We liked the restaurant and had a most enjoyable meal. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The only drawback was an extremely loud and noisy party of ten that ignored all requests to moderate the noise, and this did rather detract from the ambiance.

Fast and attentive service. Food was very good. Chicken was the best. It must have been imported from France because even British organic free range varieties seem to be tasteless in comparison. We’ll definitely come again

The service was excellent as usual but the food was less impressive than usual. the soup could have been hotter and the vegetables crisper and fresher. It was chilly when the door was opened despite the staff putting a heater on and of course it is a little gloomy with scaffolding up. Not a complaint but feedback. The experience will nudge us to try an alternative venue for our next get together.

Restaurant was quite cold lots of customers were sitting with coats on !... the quality of the food wasn’t very good . Had mussels to start & they were very small . At end of meal they automatically put 12% on for gratuity! When we asked them to take it off they did but didn’t ask if everything was ok with the meal . Wasn’t worth the £ 75 for two courses & bottle of wine . Very disappointing

Uncomfortably hot atmosphere that made us feel so bad that we had to leave early. We were sat near the back and it was so stuffy and overwarm that no one enjoyed the food. Such a shame but we will never visit this Cote again. Awful.
