Cote Brasserie provided fast service, good food and good value in a very good location. A particularly good place to cater for families and young children.

Good food and very good service Have no hesitation in recommending this branch. We were going to theatre and had informed waitress of our time constraint which was recognised by prompt service.

Most enjoyable. Food delicious. Service very good. The location is very convenient as it is only a short bus ride from the Angel Tube Station. Or indeed a short walk.

Excellent location facing Islington Green and probably one of the best Cote Brasseries in London. Good choice for both lunch and dinner very quite which makes it a perfect spot for a business lunch

I visit this branch of Cote on a fairly regular basis. Staff are always friendly and helpful. On this occasion the two of us were offered a table for four, this meaning we had more space which is always a bonus. The restaurant wasn't full but was fairly busy. Service was excellent with no sense of rushing us as you get in some establishments. Food was up to the usual good standard. I have been to various Cote restaurants in and out of London but I think Islington Green is my favourite.

We enjoyed our meal at Cote islington. We were seated quickly. The staff were extremely pleasant and obliging although they were busy and there weren't many waiting staff. We waited quite a long time between courses but this didn't matter at all at this visit.

Cote has a comfortable atmosphere, thoughtful efficient service, and wonderful food selections. It has always pleased the pallets for my husband and me. We look for it at a few locations that we frequent.

Lovely service as ever. Cotes Islington seems to be favourite with all ages, families at brunch/lunch time at weekends & adults at night. It's easy to see why with a nicely balanced & varied menu & perfectly reasonable pricing.

Service was rapid and efficient. The food was well cooked and tasty. The only suggestions we would have would be to change the main menu more often, as it has been raughly the same in over 2 years.

Had a lovely birthday dinner at Cote, the food is delicious, staff were polite and reasonably attentive without being overpowering. 5 of us shared 3 starters, all had a main and pudding, 4 bottles of wine between us and a couple of soft drinks bill worked out £43 each (including optional service charge). Will be back!

The staff are always terrific. My food last night wasn't as good as usual. The endive salad was a little 'tired' and the (supposedly) Roquefort dressing seemed to be missing the Roquefort. The grilled chicken was so over-cooked, it was like chewing cardboard. I wasn't charged for this.

Food was ok but certainly nothing to rave about. I was there for a business meeting and the Restaurant was largely empty between 9:30-midday. So it was great for business conversation but had I been there for personal, I would have felt it lacked ambience. Service was likewise ok but not great. My water glass was only ever filled once (I was there 3 hours!!).

This was our first visit on a recommendation. We visited as it was our wedding anniversary and we very much enjoyed our first visit. Staff were very nice, food was great. The crab starter was amazing. We will definitely come back ourselves and with friends. Thank you for making our evening special and happy 10th anniversary to Cote.
