Food was superb and delivered in good timescale for an evening meal. However, there were just not enough staff making themselves available to serve drinks - our server was run off her feet with a huge table - we tried to get the attention of other servers as we wanted to order wine with dinner but they seemed to avoid eye contact and busied themselves with wiping tables. We did not order wine initially because we still had bar drinks. Eventually I got up and found someone to order soft drinks and wine. Shame, as wine is profitable for the business and what customers want. Could not have a conversation- far too noisy- the restaurant needs to install some sound management devices to break up reflected noise. Overall - would not go again in the evening but might try a less busy time.

Four adults and 2 babies needing highchairs. We were given a lovely little area at the back of the restaurant and were made to feel very welcome (not always the case with babies). Great service from start to finish and food was lovely. Well done Chelmsford Cote!

Friday 2nd February. Our starters had just been delivered when the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate, We waited outside in the rain for ten minutes then were told we all had to leave as we were not going to get back in that night. We tried to get into other restaurants but it was 8 oclock when this all happened and everywhere was fully booked. So we had no dinner!! very disappointing night as was looking forward to the mussels and fish stew we had ordered.

The restaurant was quite busy yet we did not have to wait long to be served. For a change we opted for the set menu which offered a wide range of dishes within each course and is excellent value. Our Portuguese waiter, Lisandro, was outstanding in every respect, friendly, efficient and helpful and he is a credit to your organisation. This is a well organised and welcoming branch of your restaurant chain,

We had a really lovely evening with friends, we asked could the lights be turned up as it was a little dark where we sat, they offered for us to move to a booth which was much better and very much appreciated. The food was lovely and service excellent .

While the food was tasty, the service was extremely slow and not very engaged. We were in the restaurant for over 2 hours for just a starter and main course, we had to attract the waiters attention for all orders we wished to place including first and second drinks, and we abandoned dessert ordering as we’d been left without any service for half an hour. The bill payment was quick though! Would not return.

Enjoyed the evening & meal. Music not too loud always a plus. Waiter took our order for Starters & Mains which included 1 Coeliac, however it was not until the sweet course that we were given a GF menu. The original waiter should have given us the GF menu from the outset, some extra training required.

Menu choices good Food presentation excellent, food itself was cooked extremely well, my brother’s steak was not cooked exactly to his order, despite this, it was still very delightful. Our party of 4, enjoyed our visit and 3 courses. We will definitely be visiting again. Fabulous tasting food!

We love Cote Brasserie, especially in Chelmsford. We love their little menu and find it very good value. I had the Chicken snitzel and my friend had the rabbit pie, both lovely . We loved the creme caramel, nice and cool. The menu always has something different and intriguing to try.

Lovely restaurant. Friendly polite staff. Delicious food. Nice decor. Nice lighting (sounds a bit odd to say that I know. But it was not too bright and not too dull. Set the mood nicely). Loved it all really. My only grip is that when the door is opened it lets in a lot of cold air and if you're anywhere near the front you keep getting that cold draft around you. It could do with another set of doors or a screen of some sort to help.
