Good as ever. We've eaten in Cote the length and breadth of the UK. Always consistent, decent food with excellent service. One star missing because we sat next to a VERY, VERY loud customer - not Cote's fault, but it slightly marred our otherwise superb experience!

We were a group of 5. We chose from the Prestige Set menu which had a really good range of dishes. The ordering was relaxed and the delivery of the food was prompt but not rushed. All of the courses were delicious. We all thought it good value for money.

Fabulous food and service. Great comfortable corner table but not convinced about the music choice. Not sure it created quite the right atmosphere. Would recommend as a relaxed and comfortable dining experience right in the centre of Edinburgh.

Very nice food. Good value from the set menu. Although the service was pleasant, it was really slow. Seem to be under staffed. It unfortunately let down the over all experience.

Always enjoy everything about Cote Edinburgh. Frequently recommend to friends and family. Only down-side - it can get very noisy in the middle and back areas of the restaurant. I try to get a table at the front of the restaurant. My favourite table is in the window.

We had a lovely meal and were looked after well. One problem, green beans as a side was missed from our meal. To compensate, we were offered that all sides would be taken off our bill which we refused and insisted that only the beans were taken off because otherwise the meal was perfect and we will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening. Worth every penny.

Whilst in Edinburgh for a break, I dined twice at Cote both at a lunch time and an evening. Both meals were delicious as was the prosecco and rose wine too. I had Calamari both times as it is very tasty and I found the service to be impeccable.

Another fine meal at Côte! Their seabass, consisting of 2 large fillets, is substantially better value than other similar Edinburgh restaurants who tend to give very small single fish fillets. Overall this is a good restaurant and well worth a visit.

I had lunched at Cote before. This time it was with my publisher, who loves French food. She liked Cote very much indeed and thought the cuisine was authentic (high praise, coming from her). The Sea Bass and the Onion Soup were especially good. We did not try the wine list as it was a really hot day; instead we drank delicious cranberry juice. There was sometimes a bit of a wait between courses - and the restaurant was not full - but we were so enjoying our conversation that it did not matter.

A most enjoyable family meal with excellent service. Unfortunately this is the third visit to a Côte restaurant by my brother in law when his choice of main course was not available! Also since this pretends to be a French restaurant Some dishes could be more ‘authentic’ eg where was the rouille with my onion soup ? And how about teaching your staff the correct pronunciation ?

Although not busy, service was quite slow and the food was served warm not hot. Not normally like this.
