Had no orange juice, no lime, no ribeye, no veal and no duck... quite a lot to run out of. Food tasted fine but service was slow.

We visited the restaurant last evening with friends and had a lovely meal - we all had different dishes and all really enjoyed each dish, the restaurant itself is really nice with good spaces between tables and the staff were very friendly and really couldn't do enough for you without being intrusive. Will defiantly be going again very soon.

Had booked a table inside and told manager which one I wanted- indeed pointed it out and was assured that it would be there after our pre dinner drink outside We then sat outside for a drink and when we went inside at our booked time the table was occupied - having taken the trouble to do this I felt a little annoyed

Friendly helpful staff and a comfortable restaurant. The food is a little disappointing with little effort to make it attractive. The grilled chicken and chips were just that placed on a large plate - something to expect at a roadside cafe. My fish stew was full of sauce but nothing to eat it with, no bread or potatoes for example. Need a little thought on food presentation.

I was there for my birthday with my family. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My son has a shellfish allergy and the manager went to great lengths to ensure that he was informed about his choices.

We always like our experience at our local Cote Brasserie: a menu with an excellent selection, the food always top quality and an extensive wine selection. Tonight we enjoyed a kir royal on the house which they're offering throughout June. We'll go back very soon!

This visit was an early Father's Day treat and with my loyalty voucher the four of us received a free kir royale. As usual, the staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient. We enjoyed a delicious lunch from the extensive a la carte menu, in peaceful and relaxing surroundings. I look forward to my next visit with friends or family. Thank you to all the staff including those who work so hard in the background.

Excellent service together with great food at reasonable price, you can't go wrong. My only negative is the 12.5% service charge which in my opinion is a little over the top for a provincial restaurant

Service as always impeccable. Sadly food let them down this time. Im sure we were salt poisoned! So much salt in everything. Nothing like previous meals we have eaten there. Very dissapointing as have always loved Cote. Will visit again at some point, perhaps when a new chef is on board.

The staff are welcoming and helpful. The restaurant is well proportioned and the noise level absorbed by the soft furnishings ( good if you wear a hearing aid). The menu is a little unispiring and needs to change more regularly. W would still come back for honest French style cookery.
