This is our restaurant of choice when going to the theatre. Good food, reasonably priced and the service is excellent. Speedy but never rushed. Highly recommended but make sure you book for pre-theatre.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Our new favourite restaurant. The best we have been to in a long time. Steak lovers must go - perfectly cooked steaks!

Cote restaurants always deliver excellent service, quality and consistently good food. The choice and variety of the menu caters for a wide range of clients including a good selection of gluten free plates of food. The atmosphere in the restaurants is always friendly and conducive. Well done Cote, keep it up.

I don’t like the 12.5% service charge included in the bill. Food and service was fine but please leave it up to guests to decide what they would like to leave as a tip.

The lunch set menu was very good value, with a wide range of dishes available. We thoroughly enjoyed our two courses and the service was friendly and efficient. It’s a pity this menu is not available at weekends in Côte Oxford as it is in some other locations.

The food was as good as ever as was the service. Unfortunately there was a problem in the kitchen when it got to desserts. We weren't sure we'd get them and then have time to eat them as we were on our way to the theatre. Out waiter was aware of this and he did manage to get them for us. He was so apologetic for the delay although we knew it wasn't his fault. We felt sorry for him. This hasn't put us off and we will definitely go back.

Had not been to Cote, Oxford before but the service was excellent, catering for 3 gluten free guests and the food equally so. I’m not often in Oxford but would pick here next time I am. Well done Cote.

Excellent service from lovely staff. We enjoyed morning coffee, lunch and then returned for afternoon tea as we had had such a delicious lunch and didn’t want to go anywhere else. This says a lot. I was meeting my sister who lives in the Cotswolds and Oxford is a half way point from London where I live.

The first course - salmon, was excellent, as usual, but the tarte aux pommes, usually very good, was disappointing. I hope this was just a one-off slip up.

Very nice evening with friends. Very busy when we arrived, and we were placed at a table where people were coming and going and bumping into us all the time. Far too many tables crammed into the space available, so this experience would undoubtedly have been common to other diners - for example, the poor chap whose chair was directly in front of the chairs at the top of the stairs leading to the lavatories, so he had people regularly squeezing past him, We asked to be moved, and were. The number of diners thinned out after the pre-theatre crowd had gone, although it did build up again. Staff were very obliging, attentive enough. Food was good and nicely cooked, although presentation could be improved. Decent French grub, though, and reasonably priced. Wine was good. We took advantage of the "free bottle" offer, so well worth going. We paid about £26 a head for a 3 course meal with wine, which in Oxford is nothing short of a miracle.

The food was good and the staff friendly. We booked an early meal, we arrived slightly early and when we ordered we said we were going to the theatre, but service was slow and we had to chase each stage of the meal.

Fantastic wine with some solid starters and aperitifs. Slightly disturbed by the fire alarm going off following our mains but that can’t be helped. As a result we were a 40 minute wait for our mains which felt rushed and were a little charred. Ultimately a lovely intimate spot for a meal, perhaps just unfortunate circumstances led to poor mains.

Food was delicious x we had a voucher for a complimentary Drink and a 2 or 3 course meal and it was delicious, staff were friendly and happy x water was brought to the table without having to ask for it. Only thing we didn’t like was the £9.81 put on bill for service charge when we were going to tip anyway x would defiantly recommend and will be going back soon x

We had the early evening menu pre theatre. The service was good but the salad starter was very short od quantity, also was the Seabass main course which came on a bed of leeks but really needed another veg to make a full meal, we felt it was a bit short on quantity. Otherwise all was Ok
