Not as good a general experience as at several other Cotes around the country. Starters were not served together - I had to go and ask for my partner's starter after a 5 minute wait! My asparagus starter was on a cold plate, as was my duck. The fish goujon and chips were good. Glasses of wine good. Coffee was excellent - quite unusual for quality anywhere. Price was reasonable considering central Oxford. Excellent branches visited are at Tunbridge Wells and Farnham.

What a wonderful place to meet up with a friend you haven’t seen in years. The staff were friendly, and patient as we took ages to order as we reminisced. The food was excellent. Highly recommend. Will say, glad I booked!

Our waiter was brilliant. Handled an incredibly rude customer well and then didn't let it affect his service to us. Cannot rate the staff enough! The food was delicious. 100% will be coming back soon! Thank you!

As usual, friendly and attentive service.good choices of starters and mains (no room for desserts). Same for drinks. Water comes immediately. A little slow to take our orders but quick after that. Food quality and quantity very good. Easy to book on line . We used to get something extra free( aperitif or dessert) when booking on-line but not recently. Why.? Great restaurant

Food was as usual amazing quality. It was very busy and we felt, among the large groups eating - a bit neglected at times. Drinks were late - carrots almost forgotten and so arrived half way through the meal. Nothing majorly wrong but not a fabulous experience.

Excellent complimentary cocktail. The Veal escalope was very good, but needs to be served with more than just water cress. Fries are cheap to produce and the profit margin is also good .

I was very impressed with the way our visit was handled. We'd spent the day at Blenheim Palace and got our timings wrong for our booking. On phoning the restaurant to adjust the booking to a later slot the request was handled courteously and without a problem. On the booking I stated that one of my party had a nut allergy. We were all extremely impressed by the way an assurance was given on arrival that care would be taken to ensure that no nuts came into contact with the guests food, even though prepared in an environment where nuts were handled. Also to be given a list to look at of ingredients for dishes was superb and much appreciated. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was so nice to have French staff serve French food and also recommend the perfect choice of wines for our dishes. Once again I was pleased to take guests to a Côte Brasserie.

The service was brilliant and very quick! All meals came out together and were beautifully cooked. We were a party of 7 and chose from the early evening and prestige menus - both offered a good variety and excellent value for money. We will definitely return. Thankyou

Good food, service, and ambience, and a free bottle of wine. What's not to like! We come often for pre-theatre meals, which is also good value.

Very busy but good as ever. Always a warm and friendly welcome and the food is consistently reliable. We were very politely asked by the manager to move to a different table so that he could accommodate a larger party and we were very pleasantly surprised to find that we had not been charged for our bottle of wine! Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful evening. A big thank you to all the fabulous friendly staff who made it so special. We arrived dripping wet to a crowded restaurant with a wheelchair. An easily accessible table had been saved, help was given opening doors and seating and the soggy wheelchair taken away and stored. Nothing was too much trouble. I fancied the cocktail on last months specials and they were able to make it. Dinner was perfect and when desert arrived there was an extra dessert with a candle in and the waitresses sang happy birthday. We look forward to our next visit. a

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Cote. They had a promotion offering a free Rhubarb martini, it really was delicious! The staff were attentive, the food was delicious, especially the goats cheese starter. Our main chicken course was very good, however for me I much prefer the seafood linguine which I had on a previous visit. A great restaurant for a meal.

We are always warmly welcomed with a smile. Free cocktails then a delicious dinner - the monkfish and the salmon were cooked to perfection. We always have Creme brûlée for dessert, the best we’ve ever tasted, and the coffee is excellent. We’ll be back!

Disappointing! Have always rated my previous visits highly but this time not so good. The staff were really lovely, welcoming and helpful. The food mediocre at best. We chose from the more expensive set menu. My husband had French onion soup with a meagre amount of cheese on top and the sourdough which was burnt in places. I had moules which were cooked well but many had broken shells, some empty shells and one unopened. My main was risotto and some of the rice was too hard and pieces of the asparagus 'woody', the handful of rocket on top was not pleasing to the eye and unnecessary. My husband had pork which was over cooked and dry. We decided against a pud choosing coffee instead, these were burnt and bitter to the taste. You have previously done a great deal better than this.

Lovely food as always. Staff are always friendly but not intrusive. A special occasion. My only complaint is the ladies is really cramped if there are a few people in there. You can't open the door without crashing into someone but most women are used to this sort of thing!
