Côte Chelmsford

The staff were all welcoming and attentive at all times.

When booking the table I mentioned it was my fiancés 40th birthday....we arrived tonight to a lovely warm welcome and the staff said happy birthday to Gareth on arrival ...we were shown to our table and had 2 glasses of champagne waiting for us to celebrate. The staff were so helpful throughout the meal and friendly. When we ordered dessert it came out and the chef had wrote happy birthday in chocolate sauce on his plate and the staff put a candle into his ice cream as they brought it over! It was a fantastic night we were made to feel very welcome!! Thank you I paid the gratuities on the card machine and left a cash tip too as we couldn't have asked for more!!

Excellent we love the food and restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Pleasant experience overall nothing above and beyond, happy with food.

The food was beautifully cooked, the staff were more than attentive, couldn’t fault one thing. Would definitely recommend and we will 100% be coming back. Thank you!

Nice aesthetic and ambience. Disappointed that both the Guinea fowl and the duck breast, both my two top options, were unavailable.

Excellent food, especially the pear and endive starter; attentive staff. Good value.

The food was excellent. Everything overall was very good. What we have come to expect from Cote!

Good food and nice service. Thank you, we always enjoy Côte but have not visited your Chelmsford restaurant before today.

Lovely meal as always and enjoyed the complimentary cocktails 🍸

Excellent food, great atmosphere! We had a great time . Thank you

Absolutely enjoyed today and as a non gluten i was amazed with my menu choice. My daughter is now in love with your restaurant.

Another lovely meal at Côte. The January offer of wine was much apreciated too.

If you hadn't sent this review request I was going to email Cote Chelmsford and tell them what a super evening we had New Years Eve. It is by far the best restaurant in Chelmsford. Every single member of staff should be applauded for their hard work and excellent customer service. You can tell these guys work as a team. Our food was amazing and the atmosphere just right. Well done and thank you.

Great night out with friends, food was timely and very hot. Service was very good. Would recommend and return. Glad the service charge is optional as I’d rather make my own offer of gratuity rather than being held to the 12.5%!! Overall excellent and can’t wait for the next visit!

It was my wife's Birthday and we were given a complimentary glass of Kir Royal which was a lovely start to our meal. My wife has an intollerance to onion and our waiter advised that as the dishes were made to order she could have her preferance but without onion. This made such a difference to her choice of food which was very much appreciated. The dishes arrived, were delicious, service was excellent and we will be eating there again.

Fabulous food and good customer service. Enjoyed every moment of our time at Cote.

Lovely staff and food. We had 4 prams but they were very accommodating to ensure we were comfortable and to ensure we weren’t in anybody else’s way. The brunch was very tasty as always.

A very pleasant evening meal with excellent service and food

Good service and good food. We would recommend this place.

A perfect evening with my family. The food was wonderful and the service was great.

Lovely place to eat, you are not rushed to leave, the staff are very good and it has a lovely atmosphere.

We always eat at Cote because I have Coeliac disease and must adhere to a strict gluten free diet, there’s never any problem whichever branch we visit, a gluten free menu is available and as was the case today the staff will talk you through any other meals that are suitable. Today the food was delicious and the staff very helpful.

Our favourite restaurant in Chelmsford. Never fails to deliver on service and food.

We use Cote regularly and often on New Years eve. This time service was just acceptable, too fast one minute and then a long wait between starter and main. We also feel the quality of food has dropped, which is causing us to reconsider future visits. During our stay this time our dessert was partially served and then whipped away as they couldn't get the Pancakes to flambe. When they eventually came back the flambe still didn't work to the point where my wife would not eat the dessert as the alchohol had not burnt off and she was driving. To be fair you offered an alternative dessert which was refused and then a hot drink which she accepted. Also you removed all alchohol charge from our final bill (3 glasses) as a gesture of goodwill which we did not ask for but appreciated. We would prefer that you get everything right from the get go, your manager is a very pleasant guy but standards seem to be slipping.

Food very good. Service very good. Atmosphere a bit dull, decor very dated and no background music to breakup other table noise. But food good and would return for that

Had a birthday celebration. The staff sang Happy Birthday and the food was fantastic

Very efficient and friendly atmosphere. We felt valued as we weren’t rushed.

Service was extremely slow even though it quietened down by the time we had our first meal at 9:30. Wasn’t asked if we would like another drink or anything else once. Food was ok.

We had a great meal with our friends at Cote on New Year's Eve, good food and efficient service. Love the place!

Love this restaurant returned for the New Year’s Eve menu with wine pairings absolutely top knot food , wine, service spot on as usual

As usual a pleasant greeting from the staff. Breakfast was very good. Just love the brown toast.

The staff were friendly enough but not trained to look at dinners in case they needed service. We had the crab avocado starter which had far too much overpowering red onion (why have onion at all? maybe spring onion would be better?) It was a set New Year 3 course menu, no sides were listed and yet we were charged for a suggested portion of fries which seemed pretty.

Thank you again for a enjoyable evening. New Year’s Eve dinner was as good as Christmas Eves dinner. Great service, friendly staff. Food excellent. Considering the restaurant was very busy whilst we were there, timings between courses was excellent. We will be back soon, looking forward to another excellent meal at the cote brassiere. Thank you Michael and Mo

We are huge fans of Cote, however for the first time in many visits things were not great. Once seated we were not offered drinks for almost 30 minutes, the hors deurves took even longer, the table wasn't cleared before starters arrived, one of our drinks was forgotten, even though a request for no nuts on a starter was made this did not happen. We were only asked about more drinks once. From here things improved and almost back to normal Cote standards. We appreciate it was new years eve and the restaurant was incredibly busy however it appeared that there was not enough staff to provide the usual high Cote standards and some may have been not trained to the levels expected. Having said all of this we will use Cote again but not on New years eve

Food was fantastic Thank you Happy New year see you soon

My wife and I always enjoy eating at Côtes Chelmsford the food and wine are always great. The service from all the staff is excellent. Thank you

Great meal for a reasonable price. Good selection of food. Excellent service.

Excellent, reliable food and service which can be trusted wherever you are.

I chose Cote a favourite spot for me to dine, but also because they offered Tornedo Rossini a lovely dish rarely seen on menus these days. The food was fab but a little on the cool side, probably because it was replayed. The chips were hot and the braised peas were lovely. The olives and bread would be better if side plates were included, so you didn’t have to butter the bread on your hand and use your napkin as a plate. The water carafe arrived with only 1 glass for my friends beer, was I expected to drink it from the bottle directly? The merlot wine I ordered didn’t turn up. Water glasses eventually came. The manager reduced my bill and gave me a drink of Merlot on the house. But, how much nicer would it have been to have had seamless service. And, no I didn’t want tomato ketchup or mustard on my beautiful fillet. If I’d wanted that then I’d have gone down the road to McDonalds! The crime brûlée was as gorgeous as ever, and my friend loved the chocolate mousse.

Table of 4 with friends on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was half full and we were given a choice of table and settled for a booth. The food was excellent and we had two courses each. Staff were very polite and would strongly recommend.

Amazing service and food Thank you Attention to detail xxx

Restaurant did the job, not remarkable. Bit expensive for quality of food.

Excellent as always. 10 of us for Boxing Day lunch. The restaurant was busy, plenty of room for us all and the tables are well placed. The service was great, manager is always welcoming and our waiter was quietly efficient, there at the right time, no waiting for anything. The food was fabulous, cleared plates all round.. There was a good choice for the kids and quality food for them which was great. I would really recommend this restaurant, it never disappoints.

We are always well treated at this branch and yesterday was no exception. Always welcome, smiling friendly staff and well managed. The food is always well prepared and a change from the usual restaurant food.

Fabulous food as always at Côte Chelmsford. Most attentive staff, a warm welcome and comfortable surroundings and ambiance. Another very enjoyable early evening meal.
