I love Cote, the food is always very consistent, tasty and a reasonable price, nice atmosphere and very good service. For a restaurant chain it's one of the best.

Quick service and good food, a little bit noisy but it was a Saturday night! Steak frites and chocolate mouse, what’s not to like. Will return for more...

We visited Cotes in Chelmsford on Saturday the 3rd march, the restaurant was very busy and all the staff was running around like headless chickens. They did a great job as they was under staffed, but that is down to the bosses to maximize profits. Also we felt the food was a little bit overpriced.

Cote Chelmsford has become favourite almost weekly evening venue. The menu is all good French cuisine with plenty of choice, freshly prepared and no disappointments and all value for money, after more than a year. The staff are friendly, welcoming and efficient. As a former resident in Paris I can think of few restaurants as consistently good there.

Overall the service was very good with staff being attentive and pleasant. Our starters were good yet the main courses for 3 of the 4 of us below par with the steaks being bland in flavour. The rib eye was also extremely tough. The vegetables were fine. The wine we ordered was good and a reasonable price. We liked the decor but found the restaurant at Chelmsford very noisy and crowded. The cost of the meal was not expensive but only after I had paid did I notice the ‘discretionary’ 12.5% service charge wasn’t that at all, as this part of the bill presented was not at all clear or explained. I saw no way to avoid paying anything but the full cost when given the card reader to pay. It didn’t reduce the enjoyment of the evening but I would not rush to return as a result.

Given a table in a corridor right by the stairs to the toilets. The wine we ordered wasn’t in stock. The description of the poulet rôti did not say it came on a bed of mash potato so I needlessly ordered a potato side.

Doug N.7 years ago · 1 review

2 of the 4 meals were cold and had to be sent back. They were replaced but it meant that we did not all eat our main courses at the same time. The situation was extremely well handled by the manager who did not charge for the replacement meals and served us with complimentary drinks. Can't fault the service but it is difficult to recommend a restuarant where something as basic as food temperature is not controlled. Overall, the food was good value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first experience at Cote, Chelmsford. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and each of the three courses we had were cooked perfectly and were very tasty. The highlight of our evening was the service we received from our waiter, Lisandro, He made the experience thoroughly enjoyable and relaxed from start to finish and was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine. Our bill, which consisted of three courses each, a bottle of wine and several beers cost us just over £100 (including gratuity) which for the experience we had was worth every penny. Highly recommended.
