So here we are again, which says how much we enjoy a meal here. Staff are always lovely. I had booked and asked for a booth, even though only 2 of us, and lucky for us not too busy and booth ready and waiting. Food as always quick and tasty. The sauvignon blanc is great and they make it nice and cold for me, because I am fussy about it :-). Nice full bucket of ice and I am happy! I had pate and then fish pie. Only criticism is that I prefer the skin off my fish in a fish pie since it can't be crispy. But I can take it out, just a bit lazy and prefer to have it done. John had specials of tiger prawns and seared tuna for a main, which he likes rare. He asked for it to be rare and it was done exactly to his taste. We shared a portion of cheese which was plenty for us. Lovely Friday night out for a change. Be back soon.

Our experience was overall very good, the staff helpful and friendly. The starters and wine were excellent as was the service however one of the main meals I.e minute steak had to be returned as really tough but there was no bother and another was given. This also was not edible and staff very apologetic and were more than willing for another meal to be given but we felt not necessary and we appreciated the offer. The manager was fantastic and said there would be no charge for our meals and drinks which we thought was a really nice gesture however we wanted to pay and eventually paid for just the bottle wine. We have been to Cote’s Brasserie on several occasions and will certainly not be put off by one incident. We will definitely continue to frequent the restaurant in the future.

A lovely lunch for a colleague’s birthday. We were treated to a round of complimentary Kir Royales, and the birthday girl had a candle and lovely birthday message with her dessert. Really fantastic service which could not be faulted, and a lovely meal to boot. Great!

We’ve been to this restaurant many times and it has always been excellent, but last night they really let the side down. There were uncleared tables when we arrived (never a good sign) and the service, quite simply, wasn’t sharp enough. Only two serving staff on duty who didn’t have time (or the training) to keep an eye on every table - we had to attract their attention more than once when we needed something. They were friendly enough but lacked efficiency. However, the food was as good as usual.

A nice relaxed atmosphere, with efficient, friendly service. The menu is not pretentious nor particularly extensive, but it would be a struggle for someone to not find something to their taste. Our meals were well cooked and presented. Wine list again is not large, but there is something to suit most palates and pockets. We particularly liked the tap-water service on a warm evening, the "bottle" was regularly replaced throughout the meal.

The food and service were excellent as usual. My husband did wonder if the ice cream portions had been reduced as his coupe noir seemed smaller than usual. He was offered more but declined, simply wanting to point it out fof r future reference, and the cost was deducted from our bill.

The table was booked for an 81st Birthday, the meal was exemplary, particularly as the recipient has been in the Hotel and Catering Industry all his life, therefore not always easy to please, however this meal did please. A~t the outset of the meal the manager offered a glass of bubbly to celebrate on him, therefore we were somewhat surprised to find it charged on the bill at the end of the meal! Otherwise a great evening.
