Attentive but not overbearing staff. Plenty of choice from the menu, both food and wine. Good atmosphere, and the total cost represented good value for money.

Lovely food service pleasant until we said we would pay our own gratuity and not the optional 12% ...the girls face was cold and clearly not impressed ... we left a tip of £8 in stead of £12 so not unreasonable in y opinion.

Although Coté is a chain. It’s very professional and they cook the good things well fir great value. If I went into an independent restaurant and found this food I would tell the world, sometimes we get a bit snooty about chains. They are a class act in all they do.

Lovely restaurant, the staff are friendly. The food was delicious as always at Cote. The service on this occasion was a bit chaotic with our starter arriving before our bread and olives but at least we weren’t waiting and they dealt with it brilliantly by taking them off the bill. Had a lovely lunch, will be back soon

Welcomed the choice of two fixed-price menus for lunch today (as well as a la carte). We both chose the Asparagus with vinaigrette dressing, followed by the Salmon and Ratatouille , accompanied by a glass of nicely chilled Sauvignon Blanc. The food, severed by attentive but unobtrusive staff, was absolutely delicious! Such a pleasure to eat at this lovely restaurant.

Very welcoming staff. Went out of their way to accommodate my large wheelchair. Food was delicious, wine was smooth and very drinkable, and the service was excellent. Our third time for dinner and have been a dozen times for breakfast which is also very good. One of the best chain restaurants we have been to.

Totally delightful experience from start to finish!! I took my fiance there to celebrate our 4 year anniversary of our first date. Our waiter was called Sam, he was attentive and we enjoyed chatting to him. The food was gorgeous! We ordered from the set menu for weekdays (noon until closing offer) and @ £18.95 for 3 courses, it was amazing value. Everything was delicious!! Can't wait to go there again!! Many thanks guys, you're doing a great job. Diane and Trevor

Nice food and staff attentive. Two downsides! So noisy it's hard to hold a conversation and adding a service charge. I would always tip good service but it's up to the customer and should not be just added on.

Good food nicely cooked and served with a minimum of fuss. This branch has been open for a while but was our first visit (with some friends). We felt welcome and didn't have to wait too long for any course. Gratuities (12.5%) were added to the bill but it was confirmed that the staff do get it so okay. Probably worth it for the good service. Food was traditionally French in style but not "over-loaded". Good range of traditional puds (e.g. banana caramel crepes); we all enjoyed our choices. Would recommend coming here for mid-price with good value.
