Food delicious as always and good value. Lovely complimentary cocktail. I’m afraid the poor service let us down we waited for an hour for the waiter to take our food order. Somewhat spoiled our afternoon. I felt that the waiter did not seem to be overly concerned when I complained about the lengthy wait and said he didn’t want to disturb us. I am a regular costumer and have had many a lunch and evening for a number of years . I will return but if I have a similar experience again I will not frequent Islington Cote.
Attentive, friendly and thoughtful staff; great food at reasonable prices and a good atmosphere.
Brunch at Côte is a smooth and relaxing start to the weekend. Great food, good mimosas, friendly and professional service. Thank you!
Staff very helpful and friendly. Nice atmosphere and good value. We had a good evening
Staff were brilliant. Good wasn’t great, but the staff sorted it out without any complaint or fuss
The only fault was bringing the coffee before the pudding, otherwise perfect. I was eating alone, which I don’t often do and felt perfectly comforting there.
Very good and friendly staff as usual. The food from the set menu was served quickly and was of good quality.
Really nice and very good service ! Food is perfect
Loevely time again ! I come back again ! Ps: the duck is really Lovely !
Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and great value for money
Great service and great food. Excellent experience all round. Thank you.
Cote in Islington is always excellent and tonight was no different; I ate the Lamb and it could well have been the best Lamb I have ever had; the staff are all excellent and there is a very pleasant atmosphere!!
The most like a French Bistro - excellent we go often
Great atmosphere and service as always. Staff were polite and friendly nothing was too much trouble.
Brilliant atmosphere and food. Wonderful service could not be bettered.
Lovely meal as usual. Had to remind waitress of complimentary cocktails and then was charged for them when the bill arrived. Other than that a pleasant evening.
Very nice lunch, good size portions, with reasonable service. Enjoyable venue,
I love Cote and have eaten in various branches on dozens of occasions. Worst experience ever tonight. I commented - very politely - to the waiter that the weekend specials were all meat dishes and that I would have liked to see a fish or vegetarian dish ( I don’t eat meat). I added that we are all trying to eat less meat on account of the planet. He replied that he wasn’t bothered about the planet. Thereafter he was abrupt, very slow, rude and, we felt, sneered at us. The food was very good, the general environment most pleasant. nadinecartn@gmail.com
Friendly efficient service with very good Value food and wine. George Healy
As always a very good meal which was very reasonable for Pre-theatre
Great food and service despite being slightly short on staff.
We had a great lunch experience with the team! I will recommend this place for the great service and good food
Took my parents for a late lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was wonderful - in fact they're still talking about it, the ambience and service were spot on. Hope be repeating the experience in a couple of weeks with the in-laws. A dutiful diner!
lovely food, very friendly staff, very enjoyable and reasonably priced
Celebrated a family birthday, fantastic experience all round. I live in York and the branch there is equally good. Great brand. Would love a loyalty program.
Cote Islington seem to have got their mojo back. Service was excellent. Main course and puddings were excellent. Sancerre and Cote du Rhone were good. The coffee is always good. Three generations of family all very happy with an excellent Sunday lunch - thank you.
Great service, excellent food and the whole evening made even better because of the superb range of Gluten Free dishes and knowledge about these dishes by the Waiter, that enabled my friend who has various dietary difficulties including being Coeliac, to thoroughly enjoy the meal as well.
Very nice lunch and ambience. Helpful service from all staff
Lovely meal and very good service from all the staff. This months cocktail is fabulous too. Looking forward to my next visit.
Great service, fabulous steak frites and a lovely way to spend lunch.

A lovely place with superb staff. Breakfasts were all delicious. We love coming here
Great meal, great service! Love the food and will always come back here.
The food was fantastic, all staff were polite all while getting very friendly and welcoming. The service was a little slow at times but we were in no hurry so it didn't matter. Definitely would return.
A very lovely evening celebrating a friends birthday. Excellent service, very attentive staff who were extremely pleasant. Food was great as usual.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, decent food. Staff could pay more attention, had to ask twice for water, minor irritation. Overall very good, I like the brand and the value. Wine buyer does great job.
We had a booking for 6 people, for my birthday and a great time was had by all! Great choice of food on the menu, wonderful service and an excellent atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to others, and we will come again ourselves!
We love coming here - it's consistently good. We're never disappointed.
We had a lovely birthday lunch for my mother here who was 80 the staff were so friendly and welcoming to my mother The food was delicious service perfect
Great food and a nice ambience with great service. Loved the calamari.
Great Staff and food! A comfortable place to get together with friends
Our server was beyond helpful and attentive. He made sure we were looked after, and was quick to correct a couple of slight issues that came up. Never made us feel imposing. Always a great place to dine. Thank you.
Packed. Slow service but pleasant. £7.25 a bit steep for a glass of wine!
Excellent service and food and atmosphere. staff excellent, the food is always great there and we go there often enough they know what we like.
Good choice of dishes and polite and friendly service. Food delicious and well cooked. Suits us well as we visit London to meet our son and this branch of Cote is dependable and accessible from our train station
Good food well served at a fair price in good space with a friendly atmosphere
A quiet comfortable space with good food where you can enjoy a leisurely meal with friends amd family.
Took ages for everything. Desert menu never arrived. We felt forgotten.
Nice food but initially frosty service with food being misordered/not delivered at same time until we enquired as to where the rest of it was.
