Lovely early evening dinner. The service was great, the food and wine were both really tasty and excellent value for money. Unfortunately our server was busy when we left so we didn’t get to say goodbye or thank her personally. We’ll definitely be back.

Went for the early evening set meal for a change and couldn’t have been more pleased. Whitebait to start and Beef en Croute. Chocolate pot to finish. Bottle of House white so lovely for the price. Great service!

Overall experience was excellent. One small criticism was that the fish pie (parmentier) whilst delicious, was too small a portion on it's own. it would have benefitted from a side of carrot & broccoli or some other vegetable. I was still hungry after the starter & the main. To be fair, when I did point this out to staff & order a side of chips, they didn't charge for the chips.

Great food and service, served by a charming young man. Little atmosphere though apart from the shouting yas at the next table. Hard to hear my freinds conversation because of them.

I booked the private dining room at Cote, Frederick Street, Edinburgh for a group of 10 so that we could celebrate our dear friend's BIG birthday. We had a wonderful time: great food, lovely wines, and impeccable service. The Cote team did everything to make the lunch go smoothly and I warmly recommend to anyone looking for a stress-free group lunch experience.

I’m afraid it wasn’t good at all but understand circumstances dire as probably last night before closing because of Covid-19. First choice of chicken was with mushroom option was unavailable so ordered steak rapide - it was inedible. waiter was apologetic and it seemed fairly obvious that he thought so. I hastily ordered the fish goujons but they arrived after my daughter had finished hers so it wasn’t enjoyable. I would have thought there would have been some kind of an offer for a discount but sadly none. We paid and left. Do realise that it was a very difficult night for everyone though. Good luck to Cote as we love it usually - our local is in Cambridge.

The lack of soft furnishings make it noisy, so not great for people with hearing issues. The haddock was a bit dry. However, the food and service were otherwise faultless and we really enjoyed it.

Superb as usual. The St Germaine cocktail was wonderfully refreshing and started our meal off well. The risotto vert was piping hot and full of green vegetables. The roast duck with cherry was juicy and tender and the best duck I've ever had. Creme brûlée and cope noire finished off our meal nicely. All was washed down with a bottle of merlot. With quality ingredients, value for money and dishes like these to chose from, why go anywhere else?

For the second time this week my steak was served rare and not medium rare. The first occasion the entire steak was replaced which was a nice touch and I wasn't charged. The second time whilst I said just cook a bit more it came back was such black grill marks it wasn't pleasant to eat. I didn't say anything because that would have meant another delay and my friend had almost finished her dinner when I got mine back. Chef either needs to be taught how to cook steaks or ask someone else to cook them. This is a waste of time and money for Cote. The calamari was lukewarm despite being served in the small frying pan that was cold, what's the point of that? My dessert was lovely. The bearnaise sauce was minimal with too much tarragon. Not your best performance.
