Great meal. Food was delicious. Service and staff were friendly and extremely efficient. The Oxford Cote Brasserie has a great ambience and although busy we didn't feel rushed. We will definitely be back soon!

Lovely breakfast and excellent service. We haven't been to this (Oxford) Cote before. If we visit again, we would request a different seating area or larger table, as our little table for 2 felt cluttered and too near other diners

The food was good and generous without being overwhelming. The prices were fair. The service was fine, and we enjoyed our table in the alcove which enabled us to talk and to hear each other. But this does advertise itself as a French-style restaurant, and I cannot imagine any French restaurant which does not begin by providing a basket of slices of French bread - or chunks of baguette. We had to ask for ours - and we paid £5.00 for 2 small baskets.

Good food and attentive service although perhaps a bit over much. Only so many times do you need to be asked if everything is okay.

As ever the quality of the food was excellent and all our requirements were met with customary attentiveness. Would personally like to see some little additions like bread with the soup and mini side salad with steak and chips.

Delicious food - I had the endive with walnuts and Roquefort and hubby had the French onion soup which he said was excellent. Spinach and mushroom pancakes were very tasty and we had a bottle of Macon villages. The staff were very attentive and whole atmosphere great. I would definitely recommend to eat here.

The food was very good, came quickly and all of us enjoyed it. To start with we were sat near to a very noisy large group so I asked if we could move and the staff immediately gave us another table without any difficulty. The ambience is really nice and the restaurant is always busy- no wonder!!!

We have been to various Cote restaurants around the country and always had a good meal including at Oxford. This one was not up to the usual high standard. The meal generally was good but the apple crumble was not cooked enough. At our main course we were served with one side dish but the other one we ordered was not ready and would take another 4 minutes. We had to ask for our meal to be taken away so it did not get cold. One of our meals was free as a reward but it was put on the bill and I had to ask for it to be taken off. All this was most unusual because we rate Cote food and service highly.

We booked Cote for lunch as we were having a walking tour of Oxford, we are fans of Cote and often use cheltenham, we were not disappointed with Oxford! The service was excellent and the manager and staff were attentive and helpful, we were not disappointed with the food either, first class would highly recommend.

Again cote never fail to deliver. Wonderful food and very friendly staff. Just one thing - kids meal. My son ordered fish Goujons and was only given 2 small pieces which we felt was too few. We told the waitress but nothing was done.

We had a lovely evening and meal but my sea bass was slightly overcooked. I would however, recommend the haddock wrapped in, I think it was pancetta, that my friend had, delicious!!

Though my Fillet was not soft as I expected, my daughter's Lamb Shank was superb. Our Hungarian server (Nikki?) was very friendly and accommodating, and the ambience is one of the best in Oxford.

very nice meal and service. Would prefer the Sauvignon to have a higher alcohol content (<12.5). Meals taken, Moules and desert. Oxford quite tight on table space.
