Overall this was a positive experience. The only slight mishap was that the waiter tapped the wrong starter into the computer for one of us, but it was dealt with very quickly and the senior member of staff and the waiter both apologised. I usually go to Cote in Cardiff Bay, but had been to a concert in the city centre and so went to this one instead and will happily go back.

Waiting very good. Food served promptly and was very good. I would have given a higher rating if it had been less noisy. There was a party nearby so it couldn't be helped given the arrangement of the tables in the room.

This is a comfortable environment but the toilets are a bit of a hike if your table is on the ground floor. The staff were warm and welcoming and the ribeye steak was excellent - well cooked and accompanied by a small portion of fries and watercress.

Another really good gluten free dinner. It is great to be able to eat out knowing that I can eat safely and not worry for 4 hours that I will have horrible people reaction.

Very disappointing meal with Cote - ordered 3 starters and only 2 turned up along with one of the mains. The main was sent back to the kitchen. We cancelled the missing starter as the missing one was still nowhere to be seen by the time the two starters were finished. Also ordered some sharing cheese bread but this arrived with the two starters. This should have come as an appetiser while we waited for the starters. Whole experience very disappointing and no one came over to explain the problem and apologise. Food was ok when it arrived but overall we were left very disappointed.

Booked a table for four in Cote in Cardiff Centre for my son's special birthday meal, we have dined there several times before. Unfortunately the food was very average on this occasion, not bad enough to complain but not as good as we are used to in the past. Two of us had the Beef Bourguignon and we had to add a lot of salt and pepper to give it some strong taste and it didn't have a lot of sauce, it was a bit dry. The restaurant appeared to have only one disabled toilet ( which had hand towels overflowing out of the bin onto the floor ) and for a restaurant of that size it seemed inadequate and not looked after. I don't remember it being like that in the past. The service was, however, very good and they were friendly staff,

Wonderful attentive staff, high quality food, price top end. A good place to eat in Cardiff especially lunchtime. The free bottle of wine worked out more expensive than the lunchtime deals.

Myself and 2 friends enjoyed a marvellous meal at Cotê Cardiff city. I chose this restaurant due to one of our party needing a gluten free option and Cotê has provided a delicious choice for us. Excellent menus, delightful staff and very good value. We also liked the choice of wines.

I felt the evening was rushed. We ordered some bread and olives to start but before we had finished our main course had arrived. My chicken wasn't very warm. Dessert menus arrived as soon as we had finished our mains. We could have done the whole evening in less than an hour.

Excellent service. Early evening set menu very good value. ‘Autumn salad’ didn’t really work as a dish. Not enough sweetness or cheese to counterbalance the bitterness of the butternut squash. Chicken needed more of the sauce it was served with rather than the Dijonnaise on the side as the dish was a bit dry without. Side order of French beans were overcooked. Very good Creme Caramel. Definitely worth trying this restaurant again though I’d order different dishes next time.

Excellent as usual, thanks again. Self and two ex-colleagues had lunch in my favourite Cardiff Côte, Mill Lane. I guess I prefer this venue because of its position in the so-called café quarter. Without Côte the area would be pretty dreadful Regards Richard

Good food and good service. Set menu is excellent value. Drinks are expensive though. 12.5 % "optional" service charge is added to the bill automatically. Certainly worth a visit and a great location for the city centre
