Côte Chelmsford

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.

Love the set menu here, great choice, great food and very reasonably priced. We had steak frites (£2 supplement) and chocolate mousse. Lovely service too.

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

Good service, atmosphere and food, pricing slightly too high but the menu is good and varied, would recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

Good service and some interesting June specials.A happy experience with the staff giving us time to enjoy our meal.We would visit again if in the area.

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.

Excellent quality of food and service as always. The set menu is such good value and never disappoints. I will be visiting again very soon.

Hi, It was my first visit to Cote Brasserie - Chelmsford and I very much enjoyed the friendly welcome and excellent meal. A great experience. Regards Traute

Has a nice seating area outside but very exposed Staff very helpful and food very good This is a new restaurant in town and should do well

Food usual high standard though the service was a little bit haphazard. I wish waiting staff were fully briefed on allergens and it's nice to get a drink fairly promptly.

Excellent breakfast and great staff - well done Côte keep up the good work. So pleased you have come to Chelmsford and giving us a great service.

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.

Great service, lovely food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. God value for money too. We all had different meals but all were nice and as described on the menu.

The food is really delicious, well presented and are generous portions. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely go again especially for a special occasion.

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

Had a lovely meal, first time today and would 100% go back. Portion sizes was perfect and very tasty. Have heard breakfast is really good too so will try breakfast next time.

Had a meal here for a birthday celebration. The food was wonderful. Staff were very attentive but not obtrusive. The atmosphere was good. Will definitely be back soon.

Always a fantastic experience. Great staff, great menu, great atmosphere. Very much looking forward to enjoying dinner in the sun with their new outdoor seating.

great choice of food, the staff were pleasant and friendly. The restaurant was fairly busy which led to the occasional wait for service, but it was never an excessive wait.

Steak was amazing, staff absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend. Will return very soon. Tables a little small. Overall a lovely experience. Would go back tomorrow however creme brûlée burnt.

Lovely food from the set lunch menu and delivered with excellent friendly but efficient service. Only negative was the stifling heat and lack of air con.

Excellent service- nothing is too much trouble! Eat here regularly and is my wife's favourite restaurant. Particularly like the prawn gratinee starter. Maitre d is always welcoming.

excellent food; wine and attentive without being overbearing service. I would certainly recommend this restaurant. Although a chain, it does not have that 'chain' feel that many have.

Good service, nice atmosphere & lovely food. Waiter was attentive, decor was welcoming & the veal was cooked on point - creme brûlée was really tasty, just shame there wasn't a little more of it.

Always great service and amazing food! Lovely ambiance too - not too noisy. Thoroughly recommend this place whether brunch or dinner. Very friendly nice to have this in Chelmsford better than all the chains!

Lovely atmosphere. Good variety on the menu. Service very good. Went for an early meal and it was a great family night out. This was our first visit but we will definitely go again.

Always lovely food! I've never had a bad experience at Cote. Lovely staff, gorgeous food, friendly atmosphere, there is nothing else to say. Totally recommend

Lacklustre service, mediocre food, overpriced poorly cooked and presented. Cold atmosphere at the front of the restaurant, felt like the poor relations! Couldn't wait to pay the bill and leave.

Excellent service and tasty food. A lovely atmosphere for a catch up with a good friend. Having booked for 7pm, we missed the set menu but will book earlier next time as that is a very good deal.

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.

Great food and service. It was our first visit and we were really impressed! Good variation on the menu, good quality food and reasonably priced.

Good food, great service and value for money. I love the ambience of this restaurant and will definitely return. The minute steak and frites are delicious.

Great food and excellent service. We had a lovely evening in a great environment. Cote reminds us of restaurants we have visited in France - brings back great memories.

Really lovely meal, the food was delicious. Service was a bit slow especially as it was really quiet in the restaurant, but the servers were really friendly and accommodating.

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.

Service poor with a miserable waitress. Some dishes don't come with sides whereas others come with either vegetables or potatoes and some dishes came with everything. So very inconsistent!

We had an excellent meal with a good menu selection. The service was great with friendly staff. the only downside was this it was a bit chilly temperature wise.

The food was great, the wine lovely and the service excellent. Will definitely be back. A great addition to the growing inventory of Chelmsford restaurants.

Very pleasant experience ,good food and very friendly staff .We will certainly come again ,not really much else to say . We have been to Cote before and always been pleased with the food and service

Lovely food good service! - x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Fantastic service and value for money for that quality. Good selection in the menu and an excellent bistro type atmosphere. Highly recommended and never go wrong !

Great lunch time visit. With friendly staff, a good selection on the menu. Attentive service, able to fit in a lunchtime team lunch with minimum waiting. Good value.

Lovely food - good service - good value - will be back. Went for the plaice and partner had chicken - both excellent. Sancerre rose a delight.

Lovely service and lovely food. The Set Menu is perfect for lunch, with just enough choice and very good value for money. Will definitely be back.

On our visit to the cote brassiere we had a very warm welcome and it had a very friendly warm atmosphere, Our waitress was very polite and helpful, The food was to a high standard and would not hesitate in recommending family and friends
