The food is always good but my first criticism ever today was the service. Our waitress seemed moody and even slightly rude. The restaurant wasn’t at all busy, so it wasn’t that she was rushed off her feet. She didn’t even clear our empty cocktail glasses from the table before or after our meal. In fact they were still there when we paid the bill! The manager was pleasant as always though. The service is usually fantastic but I felt today it wasn’t very good. Sadly that impacts on the atmosphere.

We thought the fixed price menus were good value for a good choice of quality food. We were made welcome by staff. Unfortunately, there were a couple of errors with our order and one led to a delay with our mains. It was just as well that portion sizes of starters are generous!

This is by far the best restaurant in Chelmsford both for service and quality of food. On arrival we are always greeted by lovely staff who could not do more for us, the food is always beautifully cooked and the service impeccable. We love Cote even choosing to have lunch to celebrate our wedding there - where we were thoroughly spoiled by the team. We can not recommend Cote enough - it’s the restaurant we return to time and again

We enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Cote Brasserie, Chelmsford. The service was excellent and the food, to be honest, far better than expected. I would recommend this restaurant and my friends and I will definitely return.

Dried out food left under the hot light for too long and surly waiter. Realised why they didn’t really care when 12.5% service automatically added. Won’t be returning.

Started off with table between door and toilet. Had booked a month prior but people walking in off street being offered better tables. Eventually moved. Then long wait to be served. Followed by long wait for starters. When they did come we were told the kitchen thought we had order everything together. Hadn’t even gotten half way through when mains appeared. Mains went back and then another long wait for them. When they arrived steaks were tough. Epic fail for what was supposed to be a romantic birthday dinner. With so much competition hard to see us ever going back

Cote Chelmsford continues to live up to our highest expectations for a good dining experience. Love the choice of traditional French cooking, freshly prepared and served in a calm friendly atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the May specials of poussin and salmon with asparagus. Thanks to Laura and her staff for making a good evening even better.

Lovely meal good value for money staff very attentive. Just 2 little things...Shepherds pie has carrots in the pie but is also served with a side of carrots so carrot overload but they would have changed the side if we had asked. Second thing chicken dish delicious but the dijonaise overpowered everything so dont eat it !

A very pleasant first on Friday lunchtime. Unfortunately the steak was not good but to the restaurant's credit the cost was removed from the bill without even having to ask. The service was unrushed and excellent with the only problem being our inability to hear and understand our initial waiter.

Vinnie the manager was fantastic. We arrived and he led us straight to a booth knowing full well our reservation name before we even told him. After 10 minutes, 3 glasses of prosecco arrived - on the house. Great guy. Attentive and alert, happy and genuinely interested in your experience. Said goodbye to nearly every individual who left. Fabulous fabulous service. Couldn't fault. Food was good too.
