Wonderful venue. Very good service from waitresses who were smiley and attentive. The duck was cooked perfectly, really tender with a very tasty cherry sauce. Creme brulee was also excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

A very nice meal with great service and pleasant surroundings. The chicken salad was fresh and the proportions were good with not too much lettuce.

Very pleasant evening. The food and service was of a good standard considering the restaurant was extremely busy. It did get a little noisy but this did not spoil our evening.

Four of us had a great dinner from 6 to 1030. Service, food and drinks were excellent. Three tried the cider chaud on offer but two didn't like it but our waiter kindly replaced them with Kir Royale. Nothing was too much trouble. It is a very welcoming environment. We will definitely be back soon

I booked through Quandoo. I have been to the restaurant before and the food was as good as ever. ther were three menus at lunchtime, two of them being fixed price, servinfg every budget. The service was great too. UI always meet up with old workmates for a get together there as it isin a convenient central point in London.

Lovely restaurant good atmosphere, attentive service and great food. Just a bit of a blip for my daughter however who has coeliac diisease and was unfortunately 'glutened'. We go to Cote as they are accredited by Coeliac.org and we've never had a problem before, but something 'got to her' and sadly she was I'll for the rest of the day. It's a risk we take I'm afraid, but otherwise no complaints!

Am a big fan of cote and this one in particular - great food, staff and prices - what’s not to like. The staff in Angel are particularly fantastic!

it was a busy Friday evening, servce was a bit slow, no-one offered drinks before taking the order (their financial loss as we would probably have said yes), and despte being in a corner the noise was almost unbearable; however the food was nice, which was the main thing!

Myself and my friends had a wonderful time. Kind and friendly staff. The food was fantastic. We even got free glasses of sparking wine when I mentioned it was my birthday. I'm going there again with my daughter so she can have the experience.

Cote Brasserie ISLINGTON is warm and wecoming. Our meal was professionally served, hot plates, finger bowls for mussels and very good main course. The meal included a bottle of chilled Sauvignon Blanc. Tables are not too close so conversation is easy.

Nice meal, as usual, slightly dozy service (which was strange as the restaurant was unusually quiet for a Saturday evening); mix up with wine order but resolved despite the waiter; overall a pleasant evening

Cote Islington was buzzy and friendly, a great atmosphere and quite full at 1830, Friday night. The waiting staff were excellent, as always, as was the food and wine. The special, Sole Meuniere, which we both had, one gluten free, was delicious as were the salad, wine, special cocktail, their speciality crème caramel and the chocolate fondente which my husband had. Top marks to Cote.

Had a lovely meal at Cote Islington. I was a little disappointed that the pate wasn't available but the tuna was an excellent replacement. Steak was very tasty too. I do think it's about time Cote looked at the pudding offer as it has been the same items for years on the pre theatre menu and does not change from month to month. They could be a little more adventurous.

My friends and I spent a lovely afternoon. The food was excellent and the service was good. We weren't rushed during our time there. My only negative comment was that there wasn't enough staff on duty and at times we were kept waiting. Apart from that, we would definitely visit again.

First time visit to Islington branch. Restaurant quite attractive, not as clean & nice as West End. Although we had booked they were also a bit cagey about which table we had, though all the time we were there it was never full. Food was nicely cooked and tasted good, especially the lamb rump. Only slight negative was service sometimes slow. We didn’t order main course with starter, then had to get attention to make sure we got main course in time to finish before going to theatre.
