Very good food, excellent value, good service, good atmosphere. A very enjoyable evening with a delightful complimentary cocktail. The salmon main course was particularly good for someone on a diet and the mussels were much enjoyed.
Friendly service and very tasty food. Nice table in a corner by the window. Only booked the day before- would definitely return there again sometime. Central location.
The meal was lovely and the service very good. Ideal location for a pre theatre meal. Have eaten here before and will definitely be back.
The best Côte meal I have had for a long time. Excellent pea and mint soup, delicious sea bream and the ever tasty creme caramel
Very enjoyable lunch for my birthday. Service and staff were brilliant. Nice glass of kir royal. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Food is excellent and choice is varied.
Excellent post theatre meals with friends. Good location for the Oxford theatres. Very busy, but the staff were very attentive and friendly. Lovely evening out.
We always have such a wonderful meal and a lovely time at Oxford Cote Tonight was my sons 13th Birthday and he had chosen to spend it at Cote OXFORD The Staff went out of there way to make sure that he had such a wonderful time, singing happy birthday to him, giving him a welcome drink A wonderful place to visit
Lovely team who looked after myself, son and group of friends. Good value and quality food. Noise level fine for chatting. Thank you for your attentiveness.
First class service Wonderful atmosphere Lovely food Would highly recommend Exceeded all my expectations
Celebrated my work leaving do tonight, and the service and food was incroyable as always! Merci bien 😊. Looking forward to my next visit already. Kwilole
Good overall. Chicken was a bit bland. Desserts were good. Service was good and speedy. Next door table too loud. Tables perhaps too close together . Reasonably priced
Pleasant ambiance. Friendly, helpful staff. Reasonable value meals. Nothing fancy, nothing gourmet - just fair value, IF you get hold of one of their offers.
Lovely Fathers day lunch - GF options good as always My dad enjoyed his lunch - thank you Thank you
We were going to theatre and popped in for pre play supper. We were running late due to road accident but table was held after we phoned. We explained we had a maximum of one our and asked if that was long enough for a starter and a main. Our waitress said yes and made sure we were served rapidly and efficiently. Food was good and the pre 7.00pm menu is excellent value. Good experience all round.
Lovely restaurant for a long, lazy lunch with old friends
The usual five star welcome from both the Manager and Hector - our waiter was excellent - sorry did not get this name. The new menu looks top class- the Monkfish and the Veal along with the Fish Pie got top marks Thank you Cote- we will be back soon
We had a lovely meal. The food was good quality, service was excellent. Highly recommended. 10/10 from Cotes in Oxford. Consistently outstanding. Thank you very much.
Easy to book. No problems being seated. Very prompt service. No aggressive pushing of wine. Bottle of water on table right away . Great food , great service and value for money
Great meal for my sister's birthday Complimentary glass of prosecco was a nice touch Only criticism is that the tables are too close together so feels a bit cramped
Good, tasty food, well cooked, excellent value, served quickly, efficiently and attentively by cheerful staff . There's a good team at the moment at Cote Brasserie Oxford.
Superb food & a great atmosphere. Attentive staff without rushing you. Three of us dined there each having a 3 course meal with different dishes & Allen of them were delicious. We will definitely return. I would recommend booking if possible as it gets very busy.
Solid, classic French cuisine. Friendly service, reasonable prices. Seating is a bit crowded, and rather noisy. Desserts not to be missed, eith a glass of Montbazillac.
Excellent food and great Negroni cocktails. Service good as usual and interesting menu
Friendly helpful efficient staff. Good food, plenty of choice. Good selection of drinks always served at the right temperature
We have eaten at Cote before in both Cambridge and Exeter and always enjoyed the experience and quality of the food but on this occasion, we didn’t. Starters were fine but our steaks, a fillet and a sirloin were really poor, the fillet was an over cooked tail piece far short of a 7oz portion and the sirloin was chewy and sinewy. Also the desert, an apple on puff pastry with vanilla ice cream was undercooked, the pastry was raw in the middle. We sent that back and were not charged. So in all, we left disappointed. However, we decided to give it another chance and went in agent the following, Sunday morning for a terrific breakfast, full English and a croissant, fruit & yogurt. Outstanding on that occasion. One weekend, two very different experiences.
Great manager, who went out of his way to help us, and the waiter was also terrific! Best of all is the fresh fish, great prices for good food, and lovely atmosphere.
Welcoming, friendly staff on arrival. Prompt service, excellent food quality. Well presented and tasty. Second coffee was very slow coming but was obviously being made fresh as it was piping hot & delicious when we got it.
Very good food, wine, location and service. Good early dinner offers.
Some of the best service I’ve ever had in a restaurant- attention to gluten-free needs was especially good
V reliable food and service. Great value for early evening too.
Superb meal and drinks - stellar! Wow wow what a great introduction to Oxford 😀
Our third time at a Côte, every time good service, good food and good atmosphere, we will be back again soon, consistency and their well trained staff is their advantage.
Initially I was unsure, as on arrival there was nowhere to stand to wait for our booked table. When I asked where we could stand I was told there was no space and I could wait outside! Very unusual. I found a corner by the door. Late the remaining staff were all very helpful which is normal for Côte.
Cote Brasserie offers quality and service that is to be commended and certainly outshines many other restaurant establishments. Would also recommend to friends and family.
The food was great and the service was good too. I just wish you would not add the 12.5% on the bill although it is optional. Let me tip what i want.
Lovley quick lunch before the theatre, my steak was cooked perfectly. Fresh ingredients and pleasant setting. My only recommendation is to book a table rather than attempting a walk in at the weekend.
We are Cote regulars but this is the first time we’ve eaten from the Prestige menu. Most of the choices were dishes that used to be on the normal fixed price menu. Good choice of mains but there were no salad options on the starters which is weird as the cheaper fixed price menu had 2 salad starters. That said, good was good and service efficient, friendly but not over bearing. Not much atmosphere - only a couple of other tables taken - but it was 4 pm on a Thursday
Polite staff & amazing well priced food, highly recommended place to eat for all occasions.
Disappointed that the advertised special "Frisee de Lardons" was only available as part of the cheaper set menu- when I asked for it I was told I couldn't have it even though there was no main on the menu that I would eat! Not what I would call good service. Restaurant was busy and so noisy that you couldn't hear across the table- the acoustics are dreadful and not helped by a server who spoke loudly.
Fab value for money and good service. We Went early to take advantage of the set menu. Easy to find in the centre of Oxford on George st.
Had an absolutely lovely meal! The staff were brilliant, we were a group of 7 celebrating something and were unexpectedly welcomed with a complimentary glass of fizz, followed by excellent and friendly service and fantastic food.
Wonderful service, wonderful food as always. This is such a must place to visit if your in Oxford You will never be disapointed Well Done team and see you soon
Excellent food and service as always. We shall definitely keep coming back.
As always we were all very happy with our meals. Lots of options and always great quality and at a very reasonably price. The set menu is a bargain!
A visit to this restaurant is always pleasing. The rhubarb martini was so Delicious but should be served really cold. The food was good and the service Was also excellent. I think the word consistent is what comes to mind when I think about Côte Oxford which is important When choosing where to eat - you can trust it.
Fantastic food, great ambience and excellent service. I had the sea bass and my companion had the fish stew. Wow. My crab starter was delicious. We had 3 courses each with nice a very nice bottle of Cotes du Rhone all for under £65 including tip. Excellent value for money.
Not as good a general experience as at several other Cotes around the country. Starters were not served together - I had to go and ask for my partner's starter after a 5 minute wait! My asparagus starter was on a cold plate, as was my duck. The fish goujon and chips were good. Glasses of wine good. Coffee was excellent - quite unusual for quality anywhere. Price was reasonable considering central Oxford. Excellent branches visited are at Tunbridge Wells and Farnham.
Our waiter was brilliant. Handled an incredibly rude customer well and then didn't let it affect his service to us. Cannot rate the staff enough! The food was delicious. 100% will be coming back soon! Thank you!
Fantastic service, fabulous food! Couldn’t have wished for a better mother’s day breakfast! Excellent choice of food and attentive staff Thank you for a great meal
We came to Oxford on Friday for dinner 10 of uas and Cote staff at Oford could not have been more helpful to make our evening special. I dropped some balloons off earlier I the day and they even helped with where I could get them blown up. We were in a semi private room which was perfect. Food was delicious and staff were great, group of 10 can be tricky but the staff made it super easy and it all went well. Thank you so much
