Food was good and also good value. However, service was not up to usual standard-short of servers?? Also bill was incorrect and I had to point out the promised discount.

Excellent evening for the three of us. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the superb swordfish. Very good service apart from the last bit when there was a service delay hiccup, no problem though. Highly recommended. The staff were polite and helpful as always, in keeping with the many times' it's our number one choice.

We enjoyed our set menu meal at Highgate. This being said, we noticed that the portions have gone smaller and we were very disappointed with the bread. You used to have delicious sourdough bread but this time the baguette was not the same at all. Please revert to the previous bread. The staff as usual was very pleasant. Thanks a lot.

A pleasant welcome awaited us at Cote Brasserie as we were seated. We had a deal which gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and our orders were efficiently dispatched, not exactly friendly but as I say efficient! Food was good as was wine and though not Parisian was a tasty meal. Thank you Cote

The quality and value for money is second to none at Cotes. For us Cotes has no competition in Highgate, hence we use it regularly.

I gave this an average rating for two reasons - my salmon arrived half-raw and the bathroom facilities were below par. I have to say that as soon as I pointed out the salmon, the staff were very responsive, sending it back and ensuring a new one was freshly cooked, but this did mean with the delay I was eating way after my dining companion. Also, the bathroom was not only freezing cold, but one toilet was blocked and the other had run out of loo paper at one point. That aside, the restaurant team were absolutely lovely, highly attentive and extremely friendly. Although I've been to other branches, it was my first time at Cote Highgate. I hope that if i return, these problems are not repeated.

We are frequent visitors to Cote, usually Notting Hill Gate in the main, and Hampstead Heath, enjoy these very much, and would praise those branches. Twice we have been to Highgate. The previous and this were unpleasant. On this visit the waiter serving us, obviously was having a bad night, the service was poor, unpleasant and in the end we took our deserts home as we did not want to remain any longer.

The vegetarian breakfast which came with apple juice and a hot drink was tasty and good value. The Breton chicken and cod goujons (both came with French fries) were competently cooked. A very dependable local.

During our late lunch or early dinner today at Cotes, we had an excellent meal for two. The steak and burger were cooked to perfection and our choice. We would highly recommend Cotes restaurant to our friends and family.

Starters was served wrongly 3 times, on 4th time the goats cheese salad was cold and the brioche with the liver parfait was not toasted. The main course chicken had a funny 'tang' to it and was not nice. the tarte tartrin desert was the best thing about the meal.

Very disappointed. Filet steak very thin, wife had sirloin steak and asked for it well done. When it was served blood was oozing out of it . We sent it back but it was still not well done when it came back. We then had apple tart in for dersert but the pastry was overlooked. We will not be returning

Our visit was enjoyable, there was a nice ambiance, reasonable service and good food. My only comment on the not so positive was my partner's serving was much smaller than mine, he had the haddock main and I had the beef bourguignon - I'm a smallish female and he's a large male.

Very welcoming staff. Starter arrived very quickly so we asked to put a hold on the mains as we wanted a relaxed evening. No problem. Food from early evening menu was very good, butternut squash soup was tasty, could have done with some bread with it. My friends salmon tartine was salmon on toast with salad, very nice. We both had poulet grillee for main, delicious. Portions are a bit smaller than a la Carte menu but perfectly adequate and good value for money. Always have a good experience at the Highgate branch of Cote, staff are friendly and efficient, good ambience and food well cooked and presented.

On a chilly February night, Côte's Specials really hit the spot. Forgoing starters, my partner opted for the pan roasted monkfish fillet wrapped in bacon, served with Lyonnaise potatoes, Champagne beurre blanc, tomato concasse and tarragon; she chose a glass of Château Du Poyet 2015 Muscadet De Sevre Et Maine Sur Lie to help it go down. I opted for the braised lamb shank with wholegrain mustard potato purée and a veal and rosemary sauce. Since a side dish of Jerusalem artichoke gratiné with bacon lardons, croutons, leek and Gruyère sauce was on offer, we went for it. A glass of the Château Treviac Corbieres 2015 was the suggested accompaniment to the lmb, and a large one went down well. The food was excellent as ever; thought a couple of points docked for not supplying a serving spoon for the Jerusalem artichoke gratiné, nor a side plate for my lamb shank bone…

There seems to be a trend for staff members being all from the same country and having great enthusiasm for blaring instructions out in there native tongue and having little time and patience in talking to the customers and if they do they seem to lack a level of enthusiasm when doing so.

I eat at Cote quite frequently as I think it’s generally consistently good food at reasonable prices. In Highgate however, twice now I’ve ordered the roast chicken with a sauce and had to complain about the sauce being cold. The plates are always cold and I’m finding the food generally not hot enough. The new manageress was equally frosty.
