Usual high standard. The mustard vinaigrette was possibly slightly too mustardy but overall very good! Service attentive as usual! There was a good choice on the lunch menu.

Arrived half an hour early for our booking but got seated straight away. Food was beautiful. Beef Bourguignon was melt in the mouth good! Will definitely be back to try the breakfast and other items on the menu. Hot chocolate was lush as was the wine. Staff were attentive and friendly.

we went to cotes brasserie for one of a few birthday meals this weekend. I have been here a few times now and as always the food and service are great. My only complaint is I would rather tip the staff myself rather than have the tip on the bill.

It's not the first time we've been and there is a reason for this. Aside the food being very good and the wine list comprehensive the staff were really good especially the front of house young lady and a chap I assumed to be the manager - Well done and see you again too no doubt

Been to cote in Chelmsford twice this year and loved it both times. Staff attentive but not overbearing. Food delicious and good sized portions. We booked a table for 6:30 but finished our shopping early, staff accommodated our earlier sitting and very friendly. Good mix of ages use the brasserie, good atmosphere, lovely to be able to have a conversation over the table without shouting at each other. Went with two girlfriends Saturday evening. Would definitely recommend this brasserie.

Arrived on Friday evening in the pouring rain, was asked to leave our brollies by the entrance, although we were early we were seated straight away. Starters of Steak Tartare and Calamari were superb, mains of Duck Confit and Lamb shank again were fantastic. However, dessert arrived and the Chocolate Fondant was overcooked and a chocolate cake (although great flavour) and the Creme Brulee was beyond caramelised it was burnt. We then waited 40 minuted after being served dessert before I caught someones attention for the bill, we'd been ignored, no coffee, just left at our table. On getting back to the entrance I found my golf brolly had been stolen by someone (it was distinctive and not one you could have mistaken), the lady greeting guests apologised and said she hadn't kept an eye on the brolly stand however she took my details and promised someone would email/call me that evening or Saturday and they would recompense me for my brolly. 5 days later and I've heard nothing, having started off so well and with great food the evening went down hill in terms of customer service and basic courtesy, if you ask guests to leave their property by your reception then you need to look after it, if you don't want to serve coffee then take customers their bill, don't just leave them trying to catch someones attention so they can pay and leave. All in all, fantastic starters and mains, desserts were disappointing and customer service was the biggest let down for what could be a great place to eat.

Great place to eat and unwind straight from work, music in background but easy to talk. The early meal deals are fantastic value. Steak and frites the French way! Not a wide choice in alcohol if you don't drink wine.

Food generally good. Lemon sole drowned in butter which spoilt it for me - it was on the menu as 'in butter & lemon sauce', but the butter overwhelmed every other taste, which was a huge shame. Lemon sole is very delicate and doesn't need to be swamped by richness. My family very much enjoyed their steak & salmon meals; and the prawn starter got very good reviews too.

Another visit to a very good restaurant. polite helpful staff, swift service. Very reasonable priced set meal menu ordered before 7.00pm. The size of the courses are not skimpy and certainly fill you up before walking to the theatre down the road to see a show, as we do. Well done Cote in Chelmsford see you again soon. PS just as good lunchtimes.
