The location and decor are really nice, the waiting staff were initially attentive, however later in the day non existant. Food was poor, my partners meal over cooked, mine under cooked. Overall, very expensive for the experience.

Had a fantastic breakfast here on Sunday. The waiter was superb - very attentive, friendly and even noticed when one of our party dropped a fork & was immediately over with a clean one. The choice of breakfasts was excellent and everyone ordered something different plus various sides including specific requests such as crispy bacon, yet everything arrived at the same time exactly as ordered. Good value too so will be back and definitely recommend.

Generally very good, the food was excellent but the service was a bit slow! I nearly gave a tip when paying the bill only to discover that you already charge 12.5% so I didn't add any more! Perhaps that should be made clear to your customers?

Once again we had a great evening at Cote Chelmsford. Took advantage of the new evening set menu which includes many of our favourite items but at a discounted price. The staff were especially attentive and the service was good. We especially enjoyed the salmon with ratatouille and the calamari and asparagus starters. Special thanks to Vinnie and the team for making so good. Bon appétit et Allez Les Bleus!

We went yesterday for Father’s Day, myself my husband and two grown up children. Although busy, the service and food were excellent, with no waiting for anything. We were all disappointed there was no ‘moules et frites’ but there is so much choice this was not a problem! This is our first visit for dinner, having previously had both lunch and breakfast here, and it certainly won’t be our last!
