Great service from Salvo! Food was great, busier than normal though, which meant service was slightly slower than usual. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a restaurant in Reading.

Cote is in my opinion the best restaurant in Reading for many reasons - the atmosphere is relaxed, it's not too noisy so you can hear each other talk which is obviously nice but not a given these days; the staff are always attentive but not in your face; it's one of the few menus where if I let someone else order for me, I know I'd still love the meal and lastly, it's reasonably priced. I cannot fault Cote Reading.

Food was great, but it it's the second time we've had to get up to find a server to ask for the bill, and the second time they've also been all huddled around the bar just talking. It seems to be the same case for the other people there too, as I saw that others had to find staff to ask for the bill too.

I think the waiter was new and he was unfamiliar with the menu, he didn't include the sides that we had ordered and he got the wine order wrong. Fortunately there was a very competent waitress correcting the errors behind him and it was all sorted with no fuss. Food was excellent as always.

Visited Côte reading last night, always very happy and impressed with the food and service at the Gloucester quays Côte but sadly our experience was not up to our expectations. Order our starters and mains with a fougasse to start, our starters came out overly fast but no fougasse arrived so we started anyway hoping it would come during our starters, it didn't, we were sat waiting around for our starters to be cleared but there was only about 4/5 tables and a lot of staff so I got someone's attention and asked where the fougasse was so I could finish off my pâté which I'd been saving for the fougasse, they then said they had been waiting for us to finish our starter so I said that was fine but could I have it to go with it and we'd wait for the mains because everyone wanted to have some fougasse with there starters. So as we're sat there and our mains come out and still no fougasse but a door host was bringing it over so i explain that we didn't want the mains yet because I hadn't finished my starter and was waiting for the fougasse she said she didn't want to leave the steak under the hot plate so I said I don't want the fougasse anymore as no one had a main to go with it I said no but she said she'd bring it out and take if off the bill , started my dinner and it took another 10 minutes for it to come at which time everyone didn't want it and was filling up also my started was still on the table and then had the fougasse and 3 mains so was very cramped me and a friend had about 2 bites and couldn't eat it as was so full, all the food was lovely, so we finished asked for the bill and the gratuity charge was still on there after having to ask where my food was twice and waiting about half an hour for some bread I was abit offended that was put on the after the service we were given which had made the atomosphere as we were so disappointed with how it was handled, and then later in the evening early morning me and my friend who had the fougasse were both throwing up and had an upset stomachs, and our other friend who didn't have any of the fougasse was fine so very very unhappy with our reading experience.
