Lovely place with nice lighting and ambience. Menu is very well-considered modern French accessible food. Prices were good for central city location. I would definitely recommend.

Very Happy, staff attentive but leave you alone, nothing too much trouble, quick to react when I dropped my knife, listened to additional request ie no croutons, kitchen followed through. Meal was quick but unhurried, hot, well presented, very fresh tasty and overall great value for money

Service was first rate yet discreet. Food was delicious served hot and presented well a most enjoyable evening was had by all. One suggestion to improve would be the Choice of music which didn't quite fit with the ambience.

Attentive staff, average food, a little over-priced. Clean, well spaced tables. Didn't like that our reserved table was to back of restaurant by noisy kitchen and heavy footfall- restaurant wassn't busy for our 7pm booking - we were early - so moved tables.

Good food as usual but service was mixed, slow to begin with then asking if we'd finished when we were bviously still eating. We also had a reward which was not understood as a per person item so we were only offered a single free item for the three of us. Next time I will print the reward details to take with us.

Very friendly staff. Service efficient and good. However, both the steak and frites were over cooked. I ordered a medium cooked steak which was cooked through, and the frites were cooked so much that they were brittle like crisps. The reason I have scored this as high as 5 is that the food is usually very good at Cote Reading.

I have been to Cote restaurants in other towns and cities many times before but this was the first time at Cote in Reading. It was my birthday and we had a first class meal. The food was excellent and the service commendable. We shall definitely go there again and will certainly recommend it to our friends and acquaintances.

Unfortunately we felt as if we were in a school canteen we were served 3 courses within 30 mins , it was clear they could not get rid of us fast enough. The food was tasty but as we were there to have a long lunch with our daughter whom we were not going to see for a couple of months , this was a poor choice for us.

The service was quick and unobtrusive - and we were able to attract the attention of waiting staff when we needed them. The meals came quickly (we were eating before going to the cinema) and were delicious. One diner thought her pear and endive salad followed by haddock parmentier was the best meal she had eaten for ages.

Love this restaurant - menu never changes, but the staff are always so lovely, and the food is always cooked well. I have deducted one point because it really annoys me how far away the toilets are - I can never be bothered to walk up those long stairs! :)
