We enjoyed our dinner at Cote on a Thursday evening. The food and drink were very good especially the tuna nicoise), and the staff were very attentive, if sometimes overstretched. We'll certainly return.

The food was lovely, the only slight thing I could be critical on was the cut of duck meat. It would of been nice to have it like a breast instead of small pieces of what looked like processed meat.

Excellent value with delicious food and attentive service. The set lunch menu is limited but the dishes offered are quite varied and unlike some French restaurants there is always an interesting vegetarian option. Definitely worth a visit.

The food was excellent; well presented, great flavour and good portion size. Service a little disappointing, plates were almost thrown down in front of us. I usually visit the Cheltenham restaurant which I think has a better ambiance than the one in Oxford.

Great and really fast service for good food! We truly enjoyed our 3 course meal for £13.50. A great deal! We had steak frites and poulet grille with dauphinois. Great portion except maybe for the dauphinois. Not much in my plate. My boyfriend thought the chocolate mousse could have been a bit darker but it was more a question of taste here as I thought it was super tasty. My apple tart was delicious! I truly recommend Cote brasserie Oxford!

Many dishes unavailable, inexperienced waiting staff, unable to get order right. Small portions for main courses. Having found a desert dish which was still available, the kitchen burnt it - and this was the last one! In their defence, they did remove the other desert cost from the bill - but still added 12.5% service charge!

Great food for lunch and an admirably quiet atmosphere. No intrusive 'music' so we could actually have a long conversation with a friend. Oh, and the wine was good and complimentary on this occasion. Well done Côte Brasserie.

Amazing as always and we were given free kir royales on the house because of a birthday; I would have given a 6 but there was no duck breast on the menu which is what I wanted to order! Also no meteor beer! Great atmosphere and not a criticism, but would be great to have some jazz piano for e.g. playing throughout the restaurant in the background to create more of a vibe!

Excellent food and vey good value. We had a very efficient waitress who coped with the busy Saturday lunch trade well.BUT door kept slamming next to us as people came in and out (especially groups who were unsuccessful in getting a table) and atmosphere was a bit chaotic. Cote should fix its door and would be customers should book!

Good food at reasonable prices. The service was a little slow ( very busy between 6pm - 7pm) and the 12.5 % (voluntary) service charge is ridiculous.

Food and service excellent as usual. Only room for improvement would be slightly more space between the tables -our wine cooler nearly got knocked for six on several occasions! Otherwise perfect.
