All the Cote restaurants that I have been to are of a very consistent good standard and the staff are well trained. They all, although many hadn't served us, thanked us for our custom and said good night as we left.

Excellent service, great food. The wine was a little disappointing but we can't fault anyone for that. And the chocolate pot at the end was - as usual - the perfect finish to the meal.

Everything about the evening was positive. The food, the wine and the service. Cote hardly ever disappoints. It is just a shame they have this practice of adding 12.5%. They should leave it to the customer. Even though they say you can ask them to leave it off, they are still making an assumption.

Although the brasserie was rammed on a Saturday night, the service was 'a point' and the courses were promptly serviced and tasted great. The only quibble was portion size for the beef Bourguignon. Loved the creme caramel! Cheers, Chris

Excellently served by our Rumanian waiter our meals were just what we wanted before our visit to the Theatre. 1 of our party of 4 was held up in traffic, and we had to start before she came. 3 people ordered the Steak frites which came immediately

Enjoyable evening, service was generally good, although it was busy, so at times slightly slow. Food was very good indeed, as was wine. Staff are very professional, although a little more interaction/communication could work.

Food and waiting staff were both wonderful, however as a lot of the tables are quite close together and the restaurant was quite full when I visited, it was very noisy, so quite difficult to have a conversation with my guest at times.

Very enjoyable meal, we started with G & T's all round, followed with our complementary bottle of wine and ate three courses. The complementary wine was of a decent standard. All of us were very haopy with our choices.

Lovely welcoming staff. The portion sizes in Côte are always very generous so left feeling pretty full. I went for the fried egg and bacon crepes, However my food was only slightly warm which was disappointing and my eggs were ridiculously over cooked. It tasted great it was just a shame about everything else.

Excellent breakfast, very friendly staff, fast and attentive service. Only criticism is that the cappuccino could have been stronger, if they want to lure people away from the coffee shops their coffee must be good.

Our visit prior to the Theatre was excellent, as it was at Christmas. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The duck was good but a little underdone. We enjoyed the free bottle of Cote du Rhone. Thank you

As it was Mother's Day I took my mum for a breakfast. I asked for earl grey tea and got a flat white coffee! I told the lady but by this time we had eaten our breakfast so felt I didn't want it now. Was not impressed with the service. It is unusual as cote are normally very good! Didn't even take the coffee off the bill.

Found my experiencevery disappointing today. The girl who served us was not particularly helpful and most impatient with us. We took a few minutes to decide what drinks we wanted and judging by her face she was not impressed. I did not see the face she pulled as I had my back to her, but my friend opposite me certainly did. I also found my breakfast not very hot especially my grilled tomatoes which were cold in the centre. I would normally have complained but I found your waitress quite intimidating. I have been to Cote's many times and have found service good but will certainly think twice about coming again.

The restaurant was busy and buzzing but service was quick and efficient. Food was excellent from starter to dessert. However,the whole experience seemed rather rushed and hectic and was over too soon. Would not go back on a Saturday evening.
