Had a lovely weekday lunch from the set menu. Greeted by very nice maitre'd and were seated at a booth in the middle section of the restaurant, whole place is deceptively roomy. We both ended up having the sea bass followed by the apple crumble and the food was delicious, service great, would definitely go back.

For the first time in all of the years that we have been using Cote, (we lived in Guildford Surrey where we first encountered Cote) my husband had to complain about the cod goujons as they were extremely dry. The staff took our complaint to the chef who agreed and the dish was taken off of the bill. The situation was very well handled by all staff concerned.

We went to Cote last Sunday. We chose to go there mainly because we noticed that it had a gluten-free menu, given that my friend is celiac. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner. There was a good choice of meals on the menu, the food was great, the stuff was polite and the environment of the restaurant was warm and cosy. We will revisit it.

Very easy to book, excellent staff and lovely food. Only comment would be that the carrots on the Children’s menu were full carrots and this was somewhat off putting to one of the smaller members of our party!

Good service. Food tasty. Disappointed that 12 1/2 per cent automatically added to bill for tip without informing us of this. Almost tipped twice. It would be helpful if we are informed of this separately.

The food was good, and for the price it was very good. The service acceptable. The only down side was the temperature - it was very hot through out the restaurant.

Booked a table for two for 8.45 pm. It took 1 hour 25 minutes to get our main course! Since we had to leave by 10.20 to get to the Edinburgh Street Party on Hogmanay, we had to bolt our food and didn’t have time for our dessert! Ladies toilet needed re-stocking (No toilet paper in one cubicle and no hand towels so returned to my table with wet hands) and the lock on the door didn’t work! So, all in all, we won’t be back!

Had Hogmanay dinner here with 3 friends, two of whom were visiting from England. We had a really lovely meal. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. The Christmas crackers were a very nice touch. I would thoroughly recommend Côte for a special celebration.

Another fantastic meal only slightly marred by a less than attentive waiter who forgot to bring our wine and when it did come it was the wrong one. Other than that lovely food and a warm festive atmosphere had us there for a four hour lunch! Definitely be back and definitely recommend to friends and colleagues.

The food was very good, although could have been a few more varieties of fish in the fish parmentier. I would like to see side plate and butter knife when bread is served.
