It's always a pleasure eating at Côte for my mother in law's 86th birthday. All the food was excellent but the lady, who's birthday it was, was disappointed with her steak which was tough

service was friendly and polite. My meal was wonderful though my wife thought her meal arrived only lukewarm and not as flavoursome as previously experienced. We left happy, thank you Côte Brasserie

Very noisy upstairs so we asked for a quieter table which was provided. The downstairs was totally empty which was most off putting; if we had not already booked, we would not gone in.

On our visit it appeared gat there had been an event expected on nflux of people the restaurant was not prepared for. On arrival we were told that there would be a wait of 40 minutes for our food. We made it clear that we were at the theatre at 7:30, our table was booked for 6. We only made it by the skin of our teeth as our deserts arrived at 7:20. I was bought it was also a cheek charging us 12.5% gratitude without asking if we wanted to.

Every course delicious but the Chocolate Fondant should have been warmer as I told our waitress. My wife;s veal was about twice the size she could manage so we took half home.

Liz P.7 years ago · 1 review

The food was mediocre. The fish parmentier that my friend ordered was very small and although it did have mashed potato as stated in the menu, this was piped across the top in ribbons so was not very substantial. My chocolate fondant pudding was cold, and I thought very expensive at £5.95. The service was OK but they forgot to bring a re-fill of water when asked, and the waitress was new and didn't know the menu. So the 12.5% automatic service charge was not justified.

Very nice place for breakfast - staff very friendly but don't like the optional 12.5% gratuity being included on the bill, feels a little presumptuous.

Great meal thank you. The waiter even got to grips with serving us over two courses even though it was a mix of starters, mains and desserts. It meant we all ate together though which is much better than people waiting at either the start or the end of the meal.

Four people dined on 9 August 8.45 pm, all having 10 year Anniversary menu. Quality of food very good. Politeness and service from all staff very professional. Rated 5 and not 6 because while we appreciate having a break between courses, we felt that between main and dessert there was too long a gap and we thought we may have been forgotten for a while, but this is a minor thing.

Always a nice welcome. Restaurant is a nice place to be; light, airy, (there are tables on the pation at the back), and spacious. Service is attentive and professional...and anything but stuffy. Food is classic French, but not overdone or fussy. Ingredients are fresh and the kitchen make the best of them. Bit of a gem, really.

Food delicious as usual but the service was a little slower than usual today, I had the cod with savoie ham, beautifully cooked with nice selection of veg and, the frozen berries with white chocolate sauce. I do wish they would change the puddings each month as they do the starters and mains.

We have used this restaurant dozens of times. There is a monthly specials menu as well as the main one. You can have breakfast daily until 1pm which is great if you're still fancying a full English at lunchtime! For £9.95 you get fresh juice, coffee or tea, toast and full English which is great value. Two course specials menu lunch until 7pm for £10.95 which is good for an early bird menu before going to the theatre or cinema. Staff are friendly and service is good. There is a lovely enclosed decked area outside at the back upstairs which most people don't know about. Give it a try you won't be disappointed!

Very nice food, service was very relaxed and no rush at the table which suited us. Not impressed with addition of 12.5% service charge on the bill automatically although the staff adjusted it without question. It was good but not exceptional, although we all agreed we'd go back again.

Usual efficient and friendly service with reliably good fare at this well situated and pleasantly furbished restaurant. Has a lovely downstairs bar area which is underused. If this is licenced for non diners it should staffed and promoted, if not diners should be invited to have pre dinner drinks as an option.

Great food and service as usual, I had the tomato salad which was simple but very tasty and the chicken with beans which was surprisingly filling and flavoursome. Always have good meals there.
