Not a good table considering we had booked in advance. Very crowded with insufficient staff. Had to be reminded to bring the wine ordered. Friendly service if slow. Good value set lunch and food appetising and well cooked. Good selection of mid priced wines. Great desserts. Coffee served lukewarm.

Food and staff excellent, but the layout of the building is difficult and lavatories are very small and not accessible to all as they are downstairs., the ladies was also untidy with paper towels lying around.

Restaurant was very good and we are regulars. Quandoo did not help by sending an e mail at 6pm indicating our reservation at 10pm had been cancelled by the restaurant. I called the manager and that was not the case. Very inconvenient and no explanation or apology yet from Quandoo.

Although the food was good, the service Thursday lunchtime was very slow. This is unusual and the front of house staff seemed to be working hard. Was there a problem in the kitchen?

This restaurant is always very busy so best to book especially on Saturday night. In fact we had booked but had to wait a while for our table but we were given a complimentary drink while we waited. The only thing is the restaurant is small and there is no seating area to wait and you end up stood in the doorway or passage. However, excellent meals of Belly pork and steak and very good service made up for it. Service charge is on the bill but I'm not sure if waiters get it or not as forgot to ask. I noticed there is a set lunch for around £10 so worth trying that out. We will go again.

My dinner with 5 colleagues went very well last night. It was easy to make and change my reservation. Each of us were quite happy with our food varying from risotto to steak. The noise level was fine for making conversation. The waiters were too busy and so the ordering and waiting for orders did take too long. But happy to go back.

Called in for a pre-theatre supper and took advantage of the two-course meal offer. There was a good selection. Service was a little slow at the start - we waited ten minutes to place a drink order, by staff were friendly, food was well cooked and nicely presented. We were happy with our meal.

We were a party of 6 in for a pre-theatre dinner on a Saturday night. My partner's steak, cooked rare, was stone cold in the middle, but they were very good about doing a new one. It was cooked beautifully and arrived quite quickly, considering how busy they were. And they didn't charge us for it. Couldn't have done any more to make amends. All the other food was great.

The restaurant was busy but we were greeted and shown to a table quickly. When I gave the name on our booking the waiter remembered that one of our group wanted a vegan menu. As always at Cote the food was delicious and the fixed price menu is excellent value.

Great restaurant. Made to welcome and the service was prompt and patient while we all made up our mind. The food was enjoyed by all of us including the two children. The bill was reasonable considering the quality and quantity we consumed? Thoroughly recommend Cotes of Oxford.

Staff were very friendly and the service was prompt, the only reason they didn't get full marks was because the food wasn't quite as hot as it should have been.

Big fan of this restaurant but felt disappointed with the goats cheese salad ...especially the presentation ..did not like the large glass bowl to much lettuce only one round of goats cheese which seemed swamped by all the other stuff ..would have been better seved on a flatter dish witk rocket and leaf salad maybe beetroot ???? Other dishes were superb and the service was excellent ..thank you

Usually very good at Cote, but they forgot to put sugar in the crème brulee mixture, so it tasted very bland. They were good enough to remove that dessert from the bill.

We had such a lovely lunch, I had asked the guys to leave a little personal message on a card for my friend whom I invited for lunch. They did more than that, flowers were waiting at our table, what a lovely gesture, we had the best day and I would like to thank the Team for a great service with such a personal touch...100% kate x

we arrived early. place was very busy. lots dirty tables so seemed understaffed. bad layout. no where to stand at entrance and food being brought out right past people standing at the door - not hygienic. Friendly manager and waitress. Food was ok - chicken and walnut salad lacked beans and walnuts Desserts were poor. Had never been before and really wouldn't go again. Work dinner for 6. No atmosphere. Tables too close - beside us was table of 2 and they may as well have been part of our group as they were so close.
