Côte Harpenden

Good food and service just wish they changed the menu more often

Came with my son. Good atmosphere and food. We had a bit of a wait as a lot of people arrived at the same time as us (8pm) but the staff were very friendly and it was not a problem

Nice food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Restaurant quite quiet for a weekend lunchtime but had a nice atmosphere and felt relaxed. Food served at a nice pace and all nice.

Fast service, friendly staff and the food was delicious! I would definitely go back again.

Mediocre food and slow service. Warm Dessert was cold in the middle.

Breakfast with friends. Friendly, attentive service, very good food and the ‘formule ’ was excellent value. To do again.

We normally love Cote and have had lovely experiences at Cote Southbank and in St Albans. We thought it would be a similar nice experience at Cote Harpenden. Unfortunately we were really disappointed. The Fish Parmentier was old, extremely smelly and had a foul aftertaste. The staff were sorry and immediately offered an alternative. So we chose the steak frites. Unfortunately the steak was full of sinew and virtually inedible. The frites were nice though. We did not have to pay for the awful dishes and the staff were very apologetic but needless to say we will not be back at Cote Harpenden.

lovely food great service with lots of help with elderly parent

Very enjoyable late lunch ,very pleasant staff and quick service

ANother wonderful evening, great food, great service and in a wondereful atmosphere. Excellent yet again

Lovely steaks, great service without being over bearing, very warm greeting from the host who recognised us from our first visit a few weeks prior to last night. Only slight niggle was that our starter arrived before drinks but we were so hungry we ordered everything at the same time so didn’t mind. Will be back soon.

Popped in for brunch, had the French breakfast, espresso and freshly squeezed OJ. Perfect. Delicious and hearty too. Especially liked the boudin noir, which I hadn't tried before, a more refined black pudding. All the staff were uber friendly too

Nice restaurant but just a little more expensive than you feel it should be.

I had never been to the restaurant, despite living in Harpenden for many years. I wish I had discovered it earlier. My pal and I (over 30 years friendship) had a wonderful time and were made to feel welcome and valuable customers. We will come again. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Good food at a reasonable cost.

Wonderful food, ambience, staff and menu! Always our favourite !

We had a really lovely evening, great food and fantastic service. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Delicious food. Good service. Complimentary martinis was a nice touch.

Great service great food and excellent Staff.Will always recommend to friends and family

Was a lovely evening for my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely go back soon 😃

Portions were small from the set menu but two courses were still quite filling. It’s quite expensive to eat here if you have anything other than the set menu. Drinks, coffees, deserts and bread with the soup add up to a very expensive dinner even on the set menu. An extra 12 1/2% tip added to the bill also raises the price significantly. Service is great however but there were very few customers there this evening.

Had early dinner on a set menu there tonight. . The food is good but portions are small and contain lots of vegetables and little meat. The starters on this set menu are great but the main courses, not so much. It is an expensive place to eat with drinks, dessert and coffee so this time we ordered water and one drink. The bill was still more than £30. There were not many customers there either this evening. I wonder if this is due to the price and the 12.5% tip already added to the bill?

Yet another perfect evening with a dinner served with great skill and enthusiasm. Everytime without fail the team present quality food and a reasonable price. Thanks again and keep up the good work

We always enjoy our "special" table at Cote Harpenden. Lovely caring and friendly staff and the usual manager is great.

Excellent food and excellent service! Was great value for money!

The service was excellent, and the team went out of their way to make my mother-in-laws birthday an enjoyable one. Thanks so much, we all had a great time.

Food was fantastic and always a pleasure to dine at Cotes. The menu was a bit misleading when it came to the bill as it didn't add up. The bill was soon rectified and discount offered die to the misunderstanding. Staff great and very helpful.

Lovely food and wine. Good service. The restaurant was very quiet, only 12 people all night. It was a Tuesday.

Fantastic service and great team, easy to work with throughout booking. The team went to extra lengths to make sure our whole party was catered for.

The waitress made a mistake with our order as to the type of steak for one of the meals, however the restaurant manager offered to take that meal off of the bill if we accepted it rather than all of us waiting for another meal to be cooked. I am still giving 5 stars because of the quick way the problem was resolved and that all of our meals were really good.

Excellent food which was spoilt by extremely slow and impolite service.

Very enjoyable evening spent with friends. Food & service was very professional.

Booking was easy, staff were friendly and service was quick. Food was great.

Great Food and Service, Pitt they ran out of Lamb Rump which I had set my heart on :-(

As always we had a great night out with lovely food at a great venue. Love it

Great friendly welcome and service. Lovely breakfast, coffee and orange juice, pleasant atmosphere, good value

Lovely meal, good atmosphere and attentive staff. Yet another visit that not disappointed, and as ever the Steak and Frites was the winning meal.

We both had an excellent meal at Cote, all the staff so helpful.

While the food was excellent, the service was very slow and being ignored by the staff to place an order which we had to nearly scream and shout to get their attention.

I visits this restaurant regularly because of the great food and excellent service. Tonight was such a disappointment for service.

Another great evening with good food excellent service all at a reasonable price.
