The restaurant is delightful, the food is excellent and not expensive and the staff are attentive. What more do you need. I have booked another visit.

Varied menu with regularly changing 'specials' means that every visit is different. Attentive staff with just the right level of communication look after every need without being intrusive. Reasonably priced food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere... What's not to like..?

I used the a la carte menu for the first time and was disappointed. The beaf bourginon was dry and there wasn't sufficient mashed potato.

The Côte Brasserie is a chain, and while the atmosphere was pleasant enough, the overall experience was nothing special - the food, the wine were OK, but ultimately disappointing. Mostly the service was cordial but uninspired.

Lovely main course but frozen berry dessert was disappointing as white chocolate sauce not warm enough to melt the berries. Staff were helpful although service a little bit slow.

Great food and excellent service. WE were not hurried and were allowed to sit at our table for a couple of hours. The only negative is the noise in the back room. We asked to move and this was done swiftly.

Food good. Service excellent. Menu varied enough to suit most tastes. Ambience pleasant and proximity to town centre good. Waiters knew who had indeed what and bringing the food on a tray held by one waiter while another serves is classy.

Not much ambience. Food OK. This was our second visit, because we had a complimentary wine offer. We usually like Cote restaurants but this one is missing something.

The menu offered a good choice for each of the courses, the food was well cooked and all-in-all it was great value for money. Unfortunately, on the evening I was there Hurricane Ophelia was in town and keeping people at home, so the atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat lacking. However, that did not spoil my enjoyment.

Everything was good apart from the fact we had to pour our own wine. If you’re going to charge 12.5% for service more attention needs to be paid especially during a busy Saturday. We paid out but I just wanted to make you more aware that it fell short on Saturday evening. Hope that helps.

Excellent food and service. However, I find the "discretionary"12.5% service charge rather annoying. In my view this is a London practice which I do not wish to see imported to Edinburgh. It seems that as more of the chains come North this will become standard practice thus denying the customer the opportunity to reward staff according to the level of service received.

As usual, the quality of food was excellent. We were not rushed by the very good staff, who were very welcoming. They moved us from a draughty tabletop a warmer situated one without a problem. Happy to continue eating at Cote, whether Edinburgh, or Chichester, where we have been before.

Enjoyed the lunch menu. Almost too much although very tasty. The last time I revued my meal I gave a negative comment and you actually printed a good revue I had made before that. I was not offered a free bottle of wine although I think that was offered on line. Didn't find the web site so easy!
