We went out to celebrate my wife birthday, they picked up on this and treated us very well for our visit. The food was very good and we had many of the specials. They provide a chocolate pudding for us to share for her birthday. Very happy with our visit and would recommend Cote to everybody.

We usually dine at our local Côte in Brighton, as regulars there we are always treated exceptionally well. The level of service in the Oxford store didn't compare. In there defence management only charged us for the drinks as my partner voiced his discontent.

Had a great set menu lunch this afternoon. The place was buzzing with customers and was busy. Had to be at an appoint for 2pm and upon request, the food was brought in good time. Food was very delicious and the service was impeccable. Côte Brasserie - Oxford

Been there twice now. Very good food and service. Don't know if there are disabled toilets, but is a poor place for accessibility generally, which leads me to the other point. It is so very popular and always busy, but everyone in there is cheek by jowl as tables are so close together and crammed in.

It was very busy but the staff served us promptly and pleasantly. The food, when it arrived, was hot, well presented and cooked perfectly, particularly my seafood pasta; the mussels, prawns and clams were all juicy. Excellent service all round.

Had a lovely meal at Cote oxford - this time added spinach to our steak frites and it was delicious. My pea and mint soup was yummy and my husband's whitebait was good. The service is always pleasant and efficient - in all a really good experience.

Wonderful food at excellent prices. I worried when I saw the range on offer from the menus. How could one restaurant deliver high standards for all options? Well I still don't know how they manage but everything that was ordered was delicious.

We had another great meal at Cote Oxford. We have going there on a regular basis since it opened, following closure of previous occupant. Never been to a restaurant which is so consistently good nad excellent value for money. Have been to the one in Haywoods Heath nad they were good too. Will be there a number times in 2017, as we have a number of visitors coming to stay with us and always use the pre theatre dinner. Don't change anything, it works

i have the mushroom with toast as appetizer which is nice & tasty. i ordered the chicken breast for the main and it is disaster with the dry, hard and very overlooked chicken fillet and the sauce is also something wrong came with very salty. My son has the haddock which made him not happy at all as there is quite a lot of small bones Overall it is not the cote we usually visit, disappointed !

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cote Brasserie, Oxford, the only annoyance being the extremely noisy group on the adjoining table to us. However, the food and service were excellent with a good choice in all courses and all reasonably priced. We will certainly visit again the next time we come to Oxford.

I am a regular at other Cote Restaurants and genuinely think the formula is a winner. The range of dishes, quality, and price is hard to beat. Why just a '4'? Sadly on arrival we were initially seated by a table of 14 very loud young adults...so deafening we needed to be moved and this request was managed well by staff to a quieter area. One we had ordered....and no complaints there at all, there was quite significant delay in receiving food. Sadly as a group of 6 our main meals came in two batches, 5 mins apart which is far from ideal. I guess this is just a slightly off day, but I would certainly be coming back.
