Unfortunately one of our party took ill just as we finished our main course . At our request the staff immediately called an ambulance and despite the restuarant being very busy the staff were very helpful in what was a traumatic experience for us We will be back!! Our friend was taken to hospital but has now recovered. Our thanks to all

Despite being a busy Saturday night the noise level was acceptable . The food was as usual very good. I had the lamb cutlets, much larger than I anticipated, but very good and cooked to perfection. My partner (a hotel manager) had a very good steak. The staff and service were very good.

We took old friends out for dinner to Cote Edinburgh. Every part of our meal was perfect and they said it was probably one of the best meals they have ever had out!

Excellent meal and service. Not the cheapest restaurant in town but unlike many of its competitors the portion sizes are good. I was particularly impressed with the two large, fresh sea bass fillets I had. Atmosphere and service are good.

Unfortunately Cote did not accept the £10 discount we had been offered by Quandoo. It said others had had the same problem. It was embarrassing and we would be grateful for an explanation. Lois Ronay

Fabulous!. Great food and atmosphere. Perhaps families with children and babies could all sit together. So the noise is contained- we couldn’t hear the background music. I’ll stick to going to Cotes in the evening rather than a Sunday lunchtime. Despite the couple of negative sentences. I love Cotes.

My one reservation is regarding the 'discretionary' 12.5% service charge. This is a rather annoying London practice brought to Edinburgh by the chains. However your steak frites keep me going back for more.

Normally have the set lunch menu which gives a good choice of starter, main and dessert. Never have a problem finding something to choose. The service at the Edinburgh Cote is exceptional. Staff extremely pleasant,helpful and attentive. Have recommended the restaurant to many people and will continue to do so. Also taken many friends for the first time and introduced them to the delights of Edinburgh Cote.

Staff were very attentive, in essence the food was also very good however, we had not finished our starters when a tray a food appeared which was swiftly rotated 180 degrees. When the mains did arrived all four steaks were a tad warm / coldish we did inform a waiter and he did immediately offer to replace all four meals which we declined but 10/10. We were compensated for this but DONT be put off by this we all have our bad days and we will go back.

Love this restaurant and is one of our go too’s. this was a Hogmanay booking. Food was excellent. A large party at the rear of restaurant were we were initially sat was very noisy which spoiled the ambience but we got moved for dessert and enjoyed the rest of our evening. Excellent value considering it was Hogmanay
