Excellent as always. It’s always a joy to visit Côte, always welcoming and the food, for the price, is the best this side of Paris! Will definitely be back again soon.

This is my send visit to a Cote restaurant and they didn't disappoint. Really great food and we sat at the head table as it was a birthday celebration. The waitress looking after us was so nice and at the end of the meal we even got a complementary desert for the birthday boy.

Excellent, hot food. Staff were all very friendly. It was a very relaxing, pleasant evening. The only complaint was there was an automatic 12 1/2% gratuity added to th bill. A bit cheeky!

Food was excellent and service very good until the end. Although my wife's coffee arrived quickly, I had to remind the waiter about my dessert order (it may have actually been on the way at that point), and then we had to wait to ask for our bill. When we did, it hadn't arrived after 5 minutes so we asked another waitress who brought it straightaway. However, we then found we had been charged for an extra glass of wine so a new bill had to be printed. I was tempted to request the service charge be reduced to 10% but we had enjoyed the meal so I didn't bother. Having thought we had plenty of time to get to our concert, it then meant a brisk walk to the Bridgewater Hall. The staff were very pleasant and if it hadn't been for the issues mentioned, I would have rated the experience 6.

The food we had was good but we asked for some bread and olives before the starters and these never materialised but we were still charged for them. Unfortunately we only noticed after we'd paid. However everything else was excellent.

Great service and the food was excellent as always. We had the fougasse and French onion soup to start - both delicious and then the sirloin and moules for main. Best Côte we go to!

Good food, good service, good ambience, good location, good decor but the service charge is set too high at 12.5%. It's Central Manchester not Mayfair.

Disappointed that several items on the menu were not available, eg sea bass, and when ordered beef bourguinon the quantity was very small and quite dry. Other than that service was very good and restaurant had a good ambience.

The food we received was of a good standard and the service was excellent however the total bill for the two of us did not represent excellent value for money. The place was a lot quieter than I have seen it in the past perhaps others are offering better value these days.

Good food, what I would expect from a brasserie. Not too fancy or pretentious, but good quality. Relaxed atmosphere. Attentive staff, but not irritatingly 'over-attentive'. Efficient service. nb: music a bit loud & intrusive for my taste & can make conversation difficult, especially if sitting beneath loudspeakers. Food & good conversation go together & It's a pain trying to be heard over background music! A bit more light over the tables would be appreciated - it's actually difficult to read the menus in parts. Other than that, I like this restaurant & have been back several times.

We went for a late lunch today. The food was excellent as was the service. The steak in garlic butter and frites reminded me of meals in France when we used to holiday there. We certainly will go back to this restaurant.

We had the set menu lunch. Delicious mussels but some bread accompaniment would not go amiss. Ratatouille with goats cheese also very good. Chicken with salardaise Potatoes very tasty as was the seabream. Bit disappointed there were not more fries for the £3 side dish. Very pleasant and attentive staff, and good service. Pleasant surroundings. Overall a great value for money lunch. We will certainly return.

Food was lovely, staff well trained, we have visited this Cote quite a few times and it has always been good. Would prefer to not have 12.5% service directly added to your bill. But this would not deter me from visiting again.

Had a really great time at the Cote Brasserie. The food was lovely and plenty of it. We chose from the pre theatre menu and there was a good selection of dishes available. The only reason I gave a 5 rather than a 6 was because a gratuity of 12.5% was added to the bill. I have no problem with tipping and always do when I get good service but I object to being pressured into giving a set amount. I would rather decide this for myself. Hopefully all the tip goes to the staff and not the management.
