Great food(spinach & mushroom crepe delicious) Staff friendly left us to chat until we were ready to order didn't feel rushed at all even after we had finished eating. Great atmosphere lovely table in the window. Been a few times now and can't recommend enough.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere but do feel the 'discretionary' 12.5% service charge which is automatically added to the bill needs to be removed. I am always happy to pay for good service but I want to decide how much to pay.

The food was good value and cooked and presented well. The staff on the other hand couldn’t really be bothered. Not a smile between the 3 of them for customers, but happy chatting amongst themselves. After our main, was offered the menu for dessert, no one came to take our order, so we gave up and spent the next 15 mins trying to get someone’s attention, regardless of saying “excuse me” and waving to get the bill.

We had two meals at the restaurant in Edinburgh recently. Different bookings. One was dinner for four on Friday 12th April which was excellent and enjoyed by all. The second meal was Sunday breakfast, different party, for six. Again really well enjoyed by everyone. Service in both cases was excellent. The service charge of 12.5% is added automatically which was earned in both cases, however I genuinely feel that service charges should be left to the dining party to determine. However , overall I was certainly pleased with my two visits.

Seven of us had lunch which we all enjoyed. Sitting next to the service station there was a lot of clanging from empty wine bottles being dropped into a bin with no regard to diners. Some customers were very loud making hearing very difficult at times.

My calamari could have been a little softer, my wife's mashed potato part of her sea bass and fennel was an unattractive colour. But otherwise all good and we really enjoyed our visit. We will return.

We are regular diners at the Cote restaurant in West Bridgford and while visiting family in Edinburgh decided to take some friends for dinner last Friday. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere was completely consistent with the very high standards we are used to. Our friends were very impressed, and will no doubt visit again. Well done to everyone.

Lovely family evening spent in Cote. Initially thought we were out of the a5mosphere of the restaurant as in a room at the back but we soon created our own. A couple of slips with the food but the Manager rectified them immediately without question. Would definitely return next ime in Edinburgh.

On arrival we were shown to a table next to the coffee/drinks servery . We asked to have a different table as sitting in that area is not a relaxing experience. We decided to leave as there was no other table available. One of the staff offered another table right beside the door,on the coldest night in Edinburgh or the choice to wait around in the chance that a table of 6 might not turn up and we could therefore have a table in another area . What a disappointment and not what we expect or indeed have ever expected in any of the Cote restaurants we have visited .

This was the fourth time in two years, and I enjoyed this the least. Service wasn't good, they add 12.5 percent service charge by default even though service was not the best. Food is a bit limited by good. Supposed ly it's a French restaurant, but no bread. It took 15 mins to cook some, they has run out this was 8pm in the evening.

Excellent ladies lunch today. Very well looked after by the staff. We all ate off the lunch special menu & everyone was delighted with the food. my goats cheese starter was delicious. the sea bream to follow was perfectly cooked with interesting accompaniments which married well with the fish. We all had the creme caramel to finish which was absolutely stunning. Very busy, best to book.

Four of us dined at Cote Brasserie after being blown away by the Les Miserables performance in the afternoon. The welcome, service and food was of the highest standard and we could not fault anything. Not our first visit and this was just as good as previous visits. It is really appreciated when a restaurant delivers high quality consistently as Cote Brasserie does. Will certainly be back and are happy to recommend to others.

TBH I thought being a chain restaurant it would be fairly average but I'm delighted to say I was wrong. The staff are courteous without being overbearing and even although on two visits there was a mistake with the order, there was an immediate (and sincere) apology and the dish was provided free. More importantly the food has been consistently excellent so well done. It's definitely one of my go to options when I really need to rely on a good dining experience. Well done to the restaurant manager in Edinburgh.
