Lovely food, nice atmosphere with attentive but not overbearing staff. Only downside was a very limited selection of beers so I ended up with a fairly bog standard European lager.

Fabulous, great meal, great staff. One teensy quibble, when serving Pernod putting in water should be left to customer and not done by staff at bar. Apart from that great evening.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today at Cote in Fredrick Street. The food was extremely tasty and of a high quality. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Very good value for money and a good sign to see the restaurant busy.

Not happy. Dinner for two was over £90, and not great. We were stuck down the gloomy back, even though we'd booked a week in advance. The wine on the list was not the same as the one we were served. Steak not great. Summary: Like Cafe Rouge up the street, Cote is just cutting corners. When will they ever learn?

Lovely meal, but we weren't offered the special deal. We presumed that there was an increase in cost, which was not the case. Great service

Very noisy. We have been to Cote many times previously, but this was one of the more disappointing visits, both because of the noise level (mainly due to an atrocious background "music" cacophony) and a surprisingly tough rib-eye steak. Previous steaks there have been fine, but this one was of boot sole consistency. I shall not risk steaks there in future. Our other dishes were fine. Waitress was pleasant enough but had a very limited grasp of the English language, but no doubt that will improve in time.

A very pleasant evening in nice surroundings overlooking Frederick Street. The food was excellent and the staff organised an affrogato for my wife even though it wasn't on the menu. Two small points we had different servers (two people offered us pre dinner drinks unbeknown to each other) and we weren't offered the April specials menu.

Went with a friend for lunch, the food was very good and excellent value. Service was excellent and the surroundings are nice. The highlight for me was the crème caramel I have never tasted a better one.

The food and wine were excellent. The service was mostly efficient. We ordered garlic bread to have before & with our starters but it didn’t arrive until we’d finished them so we refused it. My Toulouse sausage was very good but I would have preferred mayonnaise on the side not slathered over it. My espresso was excellent & hot. We’ll definitely return.

On the whole it was good although having been a frequent customer since you opened and have also visited several of your other branches. I don't think the food is quite as good as it was initially. Not quite as tasty or as well cooked. I had Confit of Duck yesterday and was surprised to be served a whole leg not what I thought Confit was.I was also surprised to see an optional 12 1/2 added to the bill I would normally have given 10

excellent food and wine and table service. cote should NOT automatically add on a gratuity of 12.5%. this is sharp practice; the customer should not be put in the position of having to ask that the bill be presented net of gratuity.

We were a party of 6 and we all found the quality of the food excellent. No draught lager, only bottles available, though that is a minor criticism as the wine list was acceptable. Unfortunately, as it was a Sunday the restaurant was relatively quiet so it did lack atmosphere....... but we will be back, as overall we were extremely happy with the quality of food and service.

Food was fine, however once we had had our pudding the staff disappeared and we were unable to order more drinks. One of our party had to go and actually find a waiter to order more drinks despite trying to get anyone’s attention Disappointed

Food was good. A little disappointed that the steak came with french fries much rather have potatoes, but that was just me and my fellow diners preference. Four of us dined and there were no side plates on the table. When we ordered the bread as an appertif along with the olives we assumed they would bring side plates then but none were provided.
