The staff are always very professional and the food is consistently good. Have eaten at Cote in excess of 30 times and only ever had one bad meal, a very overcooked pork belly in the Bluewater restaurant in Kent. Other than that, it has been ten out of ten every time.

This was a very good meal -from the first greeting to the farewell every member of staff was welcoming, attentive and professional. The food was delicious and well presented. Not sure how Côte manage to get such consistently high standards for both staff and food but well done to all involved. We will always look for a Côte if we are visiting a new place or just want to have a great meal. Thank you for an excellent meal.

Could have done without two ladies who had piercing voices giving the whole room their life story and whether they would run out of money. Not the Restaurants fault, but irritating.

Had booked a post theatre dinner and wasn’t disappointed. It was busy but the service was excellent and the food was delicious. There was a great atmosphere, buzzy but not too loud, and good value. Would definitely go back.

Good choice of brasserie style food well cooked and served promptly by well trained staff. Nice venue, busy but not so noisy that you can't hear each other. Choose from Early menu dependant upon time, Prestige Set menu or A la Carte- all good.

Oxford cote was having problems with its gas supply when we arrived for Sunday lunch. The manager explained that there might be a delay but we accepted this and settled at our table. Within a few minutes bread and olives arrived “on the house”. A nice gesture which made the wait seem not long at all. Thank you oxford cote.

This was our third visit to you, this time we brought friends as we’ve been so impressed with the menu and food quality. Unfortunately last night the following issues occurred: -Constant smell of egg (we were sitting by the olive serving station- I’m Not sure if this is the cause?) - waiting 15 mins to be offered a drink - we had pre booked but had a chair added to a table laid for 3, this meant my husband was constantly being knocked by serving staff as they walked past - my mussel dish was warm not hot and they were minuscule no ‘meat’ to them - the creme brûlée (which I’ve had twice before) wasn’t right. The creme didn’t have any sweetness to is, it tasked like set vanilla Cream- very bland. If you’ve changed your recipe, I would suggest reverting to the original recipe. - also a very roudy group of lads who were very loud with multiple rounds of happy birthday! Obviously not your fault but a gentle reminder to be considerate of other guests would have been welcomed. Positives- -The King prawn starter was lovely, - You kept us topped up with water - The sparkling wine was great - the steaks were very well cooked -the staff were all very friendly

We went to the oxford cote brassiere after seeing a show at the new theatre the atmosphere was great, the food was ok not the best filler steak was the worst I’ve ever had I didn’t send it back as I was hungry and just wanted to eat. The creme brûlée was watery not firm at all and the crunchy top was really thin and for the price it was small. Some of my party were happy with their food but some of us were very disappointed. We also felt extremely rushed which we didn’t want we would of liked to have taken our time but all felt that this wasn’t the case. Service charge is added on which we paid but didn’t really want to my Mum paid it to stop the beautiful day we’d had being any more ruined by this I would of argued it but my Mum wanted to keep the peace!!! The staff seemed rushed off their feet and not attentive as you would expect staff to be shame I had high expectations and sad to say we won’t be back.

Very busy and noisy on Saturday at 5pm. Crowded, Staff. Helpful. Burgher dry, as were potatoes, little sauce. Not a lot of flavour in escalope de veau. Supposed to be lemon, but no sign of it. Overall, not awfully thrilling.

Nice choice of food, well prepared and friendly staff. Great location in the centre of Oxford. The tables were a little close together, making it a little noisy but I'm sure that added to the atmosphere. The service of our waiter was excellent. The cost, although not over priced was a little more than I was expecting. Overall, a good experience that I would be happy to repeat.

Staff were excellent but the quality of meat used for the steak frites left a lot to be desired. You appear to be using different/ cheaper cut of beef for the steaks than you used to and on my last two visits it has been very chewy.

The evening didn’t start off too well. The table we booked wasn’t ready and we waited 30 minutes to be seated. The staff offered us Kir Royale as compensation which was very nice. However then our Hors D’oeuvres arrived at the end of our starters and my son had an issue with his starter not only once but twice. We persevered and so did the staff with us who were attentive and managed the whole situation so well that despite them voluntarily removing the service charge we felt compelled to add it back in. Overall we had a great night and thank you to all the staff at the restaurant. We would certainly return in the future.

I love eating at Côte. I was on a work trip and so was dining alone, and I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. I usually prefer to eat at independent restaurants - but Côte is by far the best chain to eat at and is quickly becoming my go-to!

The food was good as usual but the lady who was the greeter was a bit off, certainly not the happiest or friendliest person I have ever met, considering it was her job to meet and greet she did not leave a good impression! She almost had a surly tone! When we left she didn’t even bother saying goodbye! Our waitress was fine. Shame as we use cote quite regularly when we pop into oxford, there are plenty of other places with good food so won’t be rushing back! Disappointing! Maybe she needs a customer service training day to remind her what her job is!!
