We found the early dinner menu to be great value! Both the food and service was excellent. It is a perfect place for a pre-theatre dinner.

Fantastic food, and amazing childcare! Our two little kids got a goodie bag (stars, crown, teddy), and they also provided us with an activity book and coloured pens. So the grown ups and the kids all had a great time!

Generally the food was good and reasonably priced. The service was fine. Unfortunately I had the ribeye which was very salty and nearly impossible to chew. It was so bad I actually choked on it! The restaurant refunded the cost of the steak which was left uneaten. Although they did compensate me it obviously ruined the evening.

Very good food well prepared and served. One dish was modified to accommodate a dairy intolerance without any fuss and treated very professionally as nothing out of the ordinary. We enjoyed our visit.

Excellent value, tasty and well prepared food. Good wine list and service. Staff are welcoming, helpful and friendly. Hard to think of better value than Cote Oxford. A meal here is always a pleasure. I bring friends here and it is always a great success. Warmly recommended.

Food was excellent but the service was slow considering the brasserie was not busy. The supervisor did come and apologise before we had got to the complaining, As more people came in the service improved so maybe more staff had arrived.

The food was fine and also the service for the drinks and main courses. However, after receiving the menu for desserts...we felt they had forgotten us. We had to make a sign to have someone taking the order and the restaurant was not full anymore. The dessert was delicious. 12% of imposed service is a bit too expensive. Overall, a good experience.

We have visited Côte Brasserie in Oxford a couple of times as my daughter is studying there. We have had lovely meals on both occasions. The menu is diverse and the food excellent and we have always had good service. We have also visited the Côte in Covent Garden for my daughter's birthday last year which was also excellent. We look forward to dining with you again!

Very good value and very good food in a city of mediocre service and quality. Young, enthusiastic staff provided good quality food in very fair portions with a wine list that catered for a wide range of tastes and budgets. Definitely a step above the average chain and a really good feel.

Whilst we were having our meal there was an incident at the next table which the waiter and the manager dealt with very professionally. They ensured that neither the people concerned nor ourselves had our evening spoilt by something that was in no way their fault and everyone was left feeling that they had been treated very graciously.

As always the food was fresh and pleasing. Also a good price. Only slight concern was that the menu wording and what arrived on the plate seemed somewhat at variance although this could have been down to misinterpretation of the terminology..

Very disappointing starter. Should have been warm poached egg and lardons on frizee lettuce. However icy cold egg and cold tough lardons did not do it. Otherwise good service and main course.

Always an amazing meal here..staff always helpful. We've never had a bad meal. Only one disappointment today was that they had run out of a few items from the menu and because of this none of our party of 4 had a dessert (peach crumble) 😩

Surprisingly underwhelming, never had a bad experience in a Cote but I guess there's a first time for everything. Our order wasn't taken until 30 mins after arrival, our drinks took forever to be served. 2 bowls of olives, 1 came, and then the other about 15 minutes later.. weird. It all went on like this until the end, I love Cote and will continue to enjoy your food and service, just not in the Oxford branch.

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Oxford, reasonable prices and consistently good food. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Particularly enjoyed the Kir Rosales which were a free birthday reward.
