Côte Chelmsford

Booked for a pre Christmas meal with friends . Greeted well, Great, prompt service, good table, not too expensive and lovely food. I would recommend.

Compared with previous visits, food was very mediocre. Prices were almost doubled (for December), All in all, a very disappointing experience, made worse because we took friends with us, this time.

Food and service excellent as usual. If you not been Côte always good value for money especially before 7.00 in evening when daily special menu

Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, albeit slightly slow due to being very busy -poor waiter had too many tables to service. Food quality excellent and very tasty. There was a mix up with my friend's order but they soon sorted that out and did not charge her at all for her meal. For coeliacs and gluten intolerate guests they have a dedicated gluten-free menu which just makes things so much easier when ordering. Would definitely return

The food was great and the staff was amazing, couldn't ask for more. I will definitely come back again soon. Congratulations for the good service.

Not a very Christmassy atmosphere. The Christmas menu was given along with the regular menu but it didn't seem that different. No table decorations, crackers or dressed up staff (save one elf!). Three people had the risotto but were not impressed. I had salmon and the beans were too hard to cut. Quite disappointing given the amount of money we spent.

Lovely table in the Chelmsford restaurant. Attentive staff, who were on hand when needed throughout the evening. Will go back again very soon I hope.

Good food. Pleasant service. The Christmas menu had nice choices. The quality can be trusted so we return to Cote regularly. Wine choices could be more inspiring.

Really delicious food and great staff. My daughter and I have been to Cotes a couple of times and on all occasions we have really enjoyed our experience

Great evening as usual- the new specials were sumptuous. And our waiter was very pleasant. Service is always efficient here

Always looked after by staff and food always been good will definitely go back for a Birthday celebration in January for another good meal hopefully

Excellent food and service. Good prices and nice waitresses. Can recommend this place for breakfast. Overall very good experience . Cant really think of anything else to say but had to type 25 words so just waffled

Excellent food, friendly and attentive staff, overall a very pleasant lunch experience. Would happily dine in your restaurant when next on Chelmsford and would recommend to friends.

Excellent ambience, great service and exquisite French style food. All at reasonable costs. All my friends,found COTE a great experience to be repeated soon. Thanks

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Service excellent, food, as usual very very good. It was a bit loud with Christmas parties but I guess that’s only to be expected. Always a top meal.

Great food as always and a lovely atmosphere ! Staff were attentive, professional and warm throughout. We had a great time and will be coming back.

We were seven ladies on a table for six so it was a bit of a squeeze for four of us. However, we all enjoyed our meal and the staff were very pleasant even though the restaurant was very busy.

The food in this restaurant is top stuff but service today was poor. We had to ask twice for everything and being tucked round the corner we were forgotten a bit .

Easy to book a table online. Management and staff always efficient and friendly. Food is always extremely good, tasty and value for money. Keep it up.

I thought that the service was a little slow, although the staff were very pleasant. We did have to wait quite a while for food even though it wasn't very busy and when the food came out it was quite average. If honest, I expected better quality food/flavor, but it was, as I say, pretty average. When you think there are quite a few restaurants around that area of Chelmsford now (especially Bond Street), they probably need to up their game a little. That said, I have definitely had worse, so it was kid of middle of the road.

We are regular visitors to Cote Chelmsford and the food and service is always good. Service yesterday not up to usual high standards and our sparkling wine was not sufficiently chilled which made the 12.5% service charge a bit galling.

Good quality food, well cooked and presented by fiendly and efficient staff. Birthday bun with candle was perfect for the occasion. Over and above expectations. Thank you

Food and Service was excellent, 3 course Xmas menu was good value at £35. However a service charge of 12.5 % was automatically added which I don't agree with as it was only a table of 4 people. I am more than happy to tip but I should decide how much based on the experience.

Lovely food, good service. Only criticism prawns as starter poor value , in most restaurants portion would be whole prawns rather than three halved ones.

Great service, lovely food. The atmosphere was outstanding and staff could not be more helpful or patient! Food came out the kitchen at a quick pace and was at a stunning standard.

Food was good, service good, but we were seated at a table by the door so every time done arrived, we (and our food) got colder!!

Excellent evening, very good and attentive service. Our friends liked the way the food is delivered on a huge plateau and said that they would definitely return. The four of us sat at a round table which made for easy conversation. But for a slightly tough belly of pork, a perfect evening.

The Staff are very helpful and food very good and tasty, once again had a lovely meal I have recommended to friends and will return. Thank you.

Always a pleasure to go to Cote in Chelmsford. The food is excellent French bistro cudune wth a great selection of dishes. The atmosphere is very friendly and the service always good. We particularly appreciate manager Vinnie’s careful attention and friendly welcome.

Bit slow on arrival, but as always a very pleasurable experience. Friendly service and ambient atmosphere. I will be back. Next week with my mates.

This has now become our favourite restaurant in Chelmsford! Delicious food, good varied menu and great service by polite and attentive staff. Nice location too.

Excellent meal and service, come here often as we really enjoy the food and atmosphere. Always something new to try on the menu. Tres bien!

The food was very nice and it always is so I didn't expect any different. The service wasn't as quick today but that's understandable as it's Christmas season but it was still very friendly which keeps us coming back

Always excellent. Staff, food and atmosphere makes you feel like your not in a chain restaurant but a really good independent. Great value early evening and lunchtime set menu too.

Excellent service and great food at a reasonable price. Restaurant was busy but they accommodated our request for a quitter area to sit and talk.

We had a simply delicious meal here. We were welcomed warmly and our attendant was very charming. We selected our food then the wine. We chose a particular wine, although we were advised another was better with our menu choice, but we thought it would be too dry. The sommelier, a very pleasant young woman with an obvious passion for wine came to our table and advised us that the other wine would be really delicious, and we could try it with no obligation to go ahead with it. We accepted her offer and were so glad we did; it wasn't dry, in our understanding of that word, and complemented our menu perfectly. I have never had that level of interest shown me before at a restaurant. Very impressive. We will be returning. Thanks to all staff at Cote Brasserie, Chelmsford!

Another lovely evening - we were fitted in earlier than the time we booked which was so nice and had the December menu which is very good - all the staff were so nice and helpful

Nice place and good service serving overpriced food. Beef had ready meal type quality and steak served harvester style - it was just OK. Wine was acceptable and reasonable compared to similar outlets

Delicious and great service. Food is always great. Love the menu. Waiter was very friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere too. Plus had a free birthday drink. Fab

They were lovely people but the whole experience was lack lustre. Too many items not available and when our steaks turned up they were cooked wrong & stone cold. To give the their dues they didn't charge us and did replace them but still out great. Shame.

It’s always a pleasure to visit Cote Chelmsford. The food is excellent, the service is good and the atmosphere always friendly and welcoming. In fact it’s become a regular weekly event for us. Bravo.

We were served reasonable food for a chain restaurant, with good service, and it was not expensive. The background "music" was mind-numbingly tedious - not something I would normally notice but it was that bad.

Excellent food, pleasant greeting and service was also good. No house wine but directed to drinks menu. We chose cheapest white which was fine. We had two bottles.

Made to feel very welcome. Attentive staff. Food good but a bit meagre but this will not stop me returning sometime. Overall a good experience.

A well laid out restaurant - plenty of space tables not squashed together. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food good the price was reasonable.. I would go again

The food is lovely. However I STRONGLY object to having 12.5% tip added to my bill when paying by card WITHOUT asking me. This is supposed to be discretionary. Don’t get me wrong, I would have left a tip and it would have been my standard 10%. But to tip is MY choice and should not be automatically added. 😡😡

Friendly and welcoming service, we were looked after very well and enjoyed a very pleasant lunch. Glad I booked as seems to have become popular in Chelmsford.

Lovely 3 course early evening meal. Nicely presented and small portion sizes just right.. Great service that didn't feel rushed and a good table in a quiet area for chatting with friends. Thank you

12.5% service charge leaves a bitter taste in the mouth at the end of the meal, a bit like the orange pancakes which were not flambed properly, so the liquor was still raw. I assume the service charge was listed in the menu, but it was so dark we could not read the menu, let alone the fine print. Better if the prices were higher, instead of hidden.

Good food and service as usual. Cote is always reliable. I have used several branches and the experience is always good. The menu is always interesting and the food well prepared.
