Wonderfully accommodating for our party of 6 with a baby, gave us a lovely table tucked away. Service was brilliant and catered to my dairy intolerance very well. Lovely food too, not bad value for money, I had the chicken, avocado and walnut salad- let down by the 2 tiny pieces of avocado though!! My only gripe is the state of the baby changing area, this being previous parents fault but the changing table was literally covered in baby poo, wish the restaurant would check and clean well. I realise they were busy though. Would recommend and would go back though, everything else was good.

Food fine but very slow service--90 minutes for 3 course lunch, which we had pre-booked. Then took long time to actually pay. We deducted the "optional" service charge from bill. In any case think 15% service is way beyond reasonable. Understaffed, those on duty run off their feet hence very poor service. Bonus is position in town centre but will think twice before returning.

Love this restaurant. Enjoyed my birthday Kir Royale with my bestie. Staff attentive and friendly service with a smile. Our lunchtime menu 3 course meal always delightful. The only disappointment was the lone vegetarian main course my friend had was unexciting cous cous. If it wasn't for that I would have rewarded with a 6.

It was Mother’s Day and we felt extremely rushed. All the food, drinks and coffees came at the same time and therefore the table size was inadequate. The bacon and sausage tasted and looked as though it had been steamed? The scrambled eggs were terrible as they were rubbery and discoloured. All in all we were very disappointed as we have been there before and the food/ service was good.

Atmosphere loud at times especially when people where arriving merry before they even ordered a drink. Although in general everybody seemed to enjoy the evening I would say that the food was a bit average which is disappointing for Cote. Would not stop me going again as I like the place and staff are very friendly.

Food was truly outstanding. Atmosphere was superb as a result of the decor, lighting and table arrangements. Service was warm, friendly, prompt and far far better than some high end renowned restaurants I have been too over the years. Would highly recommend this place to anyone and will certainly be returning lots of times.

Food was good but expensive for the quality and restaurant very nicely fitted out. Waiting staff were good and very quick and helpful. Do not like the fact that a 12.5% service charge is added to the bill for the waiting staff and for this reason and the over priced food i would not return to Cote. I understand that you can ask for the service charge to be removed but i feel very awkward in asking for this to be removed.

Excellent food, service a little slow but busy lunch time rush. We were asked if we would like bread and olives or garlic bread to start - chose garlic bread which was a little dry and the price was £5.25 which I did not realise until the bill was delivered. I though this extortionate given a lunch dish was £10-15 on lunch menu

Good service. Good food. I asked for different table as maroon curtain in front of our table became a bit noisey when waiters carried plates and crockery behind the curtain. Nothing is any trouble the waiters and food carriers are so polite and helpful. It is such a pleasing restaurant to dine in. Will continue coming back. Thank you . My friends who live in Southend are waiting for Cote to open up there. Will it ever happen?
