Good food, good value, slightly chaotic on arrival, some of the serving also erratic with one person out of a party of seven often waiting for food after others had been served

Lunch at Cote, Edinburgh with four "old" schoolmates back in Edinburgh. The Staff could not have been more attentive, helpful and pleasant. Food and service excellent. Seating comfortable. All this contributed to an enjoyable reunion.

From walking in the staff were attentive and friendly. Great choice of menu and the food was lovely. Only thing is 12.5% service charge added to the bill. I prefer to give staff a cash tip so they’re not taxed etc on it I don’t like to be told what I’ll oay. Not staffs issue as they’re all lovely

Usually enjoy, but this time everything was rushed and busy. Two different staff members poured wine,more on table than in glasses! Perhaps more training needed as there was no attempt to clean up or even replace wine wasted. I chose Cote specifically for service, ambience and quality of food.The food as usual was excellent but the service unfortunately not so on this occasion. I have brought guests before during Festival time with excellent service so I cannot accept that as a reason.

Good food and a very pleasant ambience. The service was good. My only quibble would be that I resent restaurants adding on an "optional" 12.5% to the bill.

Everything about our meal was wonderful! Online booking was easy and the confirmation was swift and clear. Each member of our group enjoyed the meal. Staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our vist. None of us was aware that there was an upstairs section. This was a definite 'plus' for us all. Thank you

Disappointed with the portion sizes and feel that a little garnish would greatly benefited the dishes. ie Steak and chips, at £2 extra was just that - very very basic. Also I don't agree with an automatic 12.5 % service charge

The main course was a bit disappointing. I was annoyed that after a compulsory 12 1/2% tip was added to the bill we were not given the change due. Having been a regular patron I am unlikely to return.

Waiter condescending and patronising. Chicken dry and stingy with extra for a sauce which should be part of the dish. I don’t need suggestions about what to choose unless I ask.
