It was wonderful - a great meal enhanced by the superb service we had from our waitress - I did not catch her name but she is training to be a front of house manager, I think and she is Italian and comes from Ostia, a town near Rome in the Province of Lazio, Italy. She made our meal most memorable and we will certainly be visiting Cote again.

We were delighted with menu and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The restaurant was very busy but the staff worked around each other very efficeintly. A little disappointed that the apple and blackberry crumble had no blackberries! I still gave 5 stars as it was all so good.

Hugely impressed with the speed and quality of service. We ate before going to the theatre, so were against the clock - but the outstanding service meant that we were able to relax. Thank you!

The staff were nice enough and the food was good but they really try to up-sell asking us at every turn if we wanted something else. It became slightly embarrassing - especially as we made it clear that we didn't have that much time. Not the best experience...

Very much enjoyed our pre-theatre meal, varied menus with plenty of good dishes to try. I didn't get my gratin potatoes with my tenderloin of pork but didn't realise until I'd finished and in any case meant I could indulge in pudding which was a bonus. Excellent macchiato to finish which guaranteed I stayed awake in the theatre. Very efficient and pleasant service, great venue and interior decor.

Very good service as always. Food rarely disappoint however my Goujons fish main course was slightly off. Waitress/ manager on duty quickly and profusely apologised and replace it for my choice of duck. At no request of mine the bill was given a discount which was appreciated. However i was told apologetically that the fish was....delivered fresh that morning ? Hmm, on a Sunday morning? I will still remain a regular customer. (P.s I am an ex restaurant manager)

Not up to the usual standard. Service was affable and efficient as always, but the service felt rushed. Being served our starters before the wine had been delivered to the table was a terrible gaffe. No reference or effort was made to honour the French Martini offer to which the booking had entitled us. The food too was disappointing this time; I ordered the pork tenderloin, and the pork arrived looking dry (to the extent of being curled up at the edges) and tasting dry. The celeriac mash tasted very light on the celeriac and heavy on the potato. Had I know it would have had this focus I would not have ordered the potato gratin side.

I done at this restaurant regularly & for a change I went for the pre theatre prestige menu. My favourite pork rillettes was on the starter menu with plenty of toasted sourdough bread and cornichons, delicious!!!!!! Also chose pork for my main as I love the potato gratin that comes with it and I actually ate cabbage which I hate. Beautifully presented, excellent value, congratulations Cote.

As we have found in our local Birmingham restaurant, the staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient, the food was of good quality and served quickly enough to mean that we didn't have to worry about making it to the theatre in time, as well as being excellent value for money. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Very busy Friday night service - we were a party of 6 celebrating a 21st birthday. We had contacted the restaurant in advance to advice of the special evening. When we arrived we were unsure of who our waiter was as we were served by more than one person. When were served properly it was by a wonderful lady with glasses who could not do more for us, she was amazing! When our food came we were served by a very abrupt, rude gentleman who spoke to the man holding the plate tray very aggressively in front of us, we thought this was completely unnecessary and extremely unprofessional, made us feel very awkward. When our waitress came back she was upset that we had been served from someone else, there was a very big awkward atmosphere between all of the staff which made for an awkward evening such a shame as it was for such a special occasion. Will not be returning.
