Fantastic value. We had a very warm welcome, great service, and excellent food at an excellent fixed price. This was a birthday celebration and we were well looked after. Will be making this my 'go to' destination when in oxford. Thanks to you all.

It was a very busy Saturday night but we were welcomed warmly and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. It was a bit of a tight squeeze for the 6 of us on our table. There was no French onion soup or creme brulee available but the food we ordered was of a good quality as was the wine. The service was good and the atmosphere was buzzing. There was a great choice on the menu and everything we wanted except the two things mentioned above was available. We would definitely visit this restaurant again.

I had the standard menu 3 courses. Very acceptable for the money. My husband ordered from the main menu starting with calamari, this had too much breadcrumb and was too greasey. Followed by the cassoulet. The meat was dry and sausage greasey so obviously the meat was added and not cooked as part of the dish. Very poor. Also over smoked meat. Dessert great. Not our best visit.

The food was so so very delicious - it was literally amazing! My colleague told me the food is as close to Parisian as he has had outside of Paris. It was just perfection, credit to whoever is designing the menus. I could not be more impressed. The sauce with mussels was memorably delicious, the ratatouille was like homemade (but better!) the crème caramel had a delicious caramel and was deliciously eggy! The waitress was genuinely warm and welcoming and they timed the food so we could get to the theatre!

As a relative regular to variou Cote restaurants it was generally good but didn't quite have the usual wow. I am sure specific comments in the specific sections may help. Comments are not necessarily about the specific restaurant. Food was fine, the quick menu was good but the quantity was much smaller than necessary for langouste (aka scampi) starter and rocket was very wilted. Egg Benedict ok but the egg was pretty close to over done. Apparently tasty though. Goat cheese salad with crostini was fine although as ever with Core too much salt is added to salads, customer can add but can't take away. Oven baked breaded chicken with fennel etc was fine but a distinct lack of fennel, I know this is a discount dish and margins are tight but as I said when asked "It was fine" so no real complaint just a little lacking. Service charge always does my head in and actually to make staff take ownership it would be good for them to earn the reward for the team, a difficult one I know.

The visit was at a rearranged (earlier) time than originally booked, and we were accomodated without any bother. Our table service was excellent. We've enjoyed food and a warm welcome there, and will do so again (not every week)........ My thanks to all the staff concerned, who contributed much to the success of our evening.

We had pre-booked and reserved a window table but this wasn't provided. Starters were good; mains were tasty but not as warm as should be - I had the Fillet Steak Rossini but the pate on the steak was chilled so the whole dish was cool. Service slowed down so much that desserts took 15 minutes to arrive by which time we had to leave as were going to theatre so we were unable to enjoy them.
