Excellent food as always. Very busy night - service a bit slower than usual, but that's ok unless you are in a hurry - which we were not!

Very good as always, we will be back. !!!!! Only down side is that we have to make out a report every time we eat, we speak to the staff, that should be enough.

We went with a group of friends after a concert in Norwich. The ambiance is always good but I thought that my portion of cassoulet was rather light on meat for the price.

Excellent menu with plenty of choice. Bustling brasserie atmosphere and pleasant staff. Two very small criticisms: l'd have preferred the raw egg with the steak tartare to have been served as a raw egg on top and not mixed in, the warm salad wasn't warm. However all tasted very good indeed. The duck was a triumph perfectly cooked with a delicious, rich sauce. We'll definitely be back.

Good service and very nice food. I only knocked a mark off as there was a chip in the rim of the water glass...potentially nasty!

Really good meal at this bustling restaurant. Service also excellent. Well considered wine list and classic dishes done very well. I particularly liked the smoked salmon starter. Two minor criticisms: the layout of the restaurant means the entrance is not easily in view of the maître d' so on a busy evening we were left waiting to be seated. There was an apology but an acknowledgment when leaving would be good. Also train staff to speak to diners if they pass them in the entrance area. The other issue is the inclusion of 12.5% gratuity. This is above the market rate and pressurises a customer into paying it because of the potential ill- feeling of refusing or asking to pay 10%. Far better for me to pay without subtle coercion, as I always do when service has been good.

We love going to Le Cote especially for pre-theatre. The price is so good as is the special menu choice (though, perhaps, the sweet menu could be varied a bit). The service is also very good indeed.

Always a pleasure to visit Norwich Côte. Food pleasant and the specials change regularly. It was very busy and the manager was very gracious when he had to turn customers away. We were served by Gosia who is always delightful. Thanks

Our table was very cramped and near the door so not the best area to enjoy a meal. Our usual order of Nicoise Salad was very good although there was only one olive in mine and there should be several more. Otherwise good and the staff, as always, were very attentive and efficient.

Good value on the lunchtime menu but one of the starters (pear and endive) was exceptionally salty and another langoustine tails) more batter than tail and not very well presented. All else great - thanks.

Very good apart from the downmarket approach of adding on 12.5% service charge. I don't want the trouble of knocking it off the total then applying what I want to add.

The food was absolutely fantastic, as ever. I don't think we've ever had a bad meal there. The only thing that disappointed us this time was the staff attitude towards us. It was very efficient, but abrupt to the point of curtness, which was a shame. Especially since we had breakfast two days in a row at the Bournemouth Cote last week and the difference was startling.

Reliable french style food and good service - and open late. Good service-staff retention who know the menu and the wines, and an effective kitchen. Broken up spaces so can readily accommodate parties and more intimate diners simultaneously. But could do with more heating at the front by the street windows.
