Great atmosphere and service was quick and professional. The food was amazing and the free bottle of wine was a nice touch for newsletter sign up. The price was good as I was using the set menu also

Great food, great wine, lovely staff, I had the Duck Breast, Succulent and full of flavour, the cherries burst in your mouth with a gush of alcohol which breaks through the strong flavour. GF had the cod supreme, lovely and flakey with an excellent texture. Followed with the Citron Tart, exceptionally lemony. All perfect, no faults. Love it at cotes :-)

We went with friends who were vegetarian, and I had discovered you had a separate vegetarian menu, which was quite extensive and that they didn’t have sort out the suitable veggie choices. However I had found this menu not through your website and it was only when we mentioned to the manager Rose that she discovered that if you selected the location then the menus it did not display, you had to select the menus at the top of the page, then you find it. They were delighted to have found a restaurant that catered with far more vegetarian options than usual. We all throughly enjoyed our meal, and the service was excellent.

As always, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and good food. Service was attentive but VERY slow - considering that 12.5 pc service charge is added to the bill, this is really not acceptable.

Overall, a pretty good experience. But... had to re-order the wine as it wasn't chilled... and had to wait for the side dish to arrive a few minutes after the main course was served. Still, the food was good.

We had the three course meal on Wednesday (£13.50) which is served 12noon until 7pm. We opted for the Tuna Rillettes and Baby Gem Salad as starters. Followed by one Sea Bream, one Chicken and one Steak Frites (£2 extra supplement), then Chocolate Pots and Creme Caramel. All lovely apart from the Steak which was tough. Don't waste your money on this option! The restaurant is bright and clean and the staff were excellent but be aware a set 12.5% is added to the bill which we feel is too steep!

Saw 2 friends I hadn’t seen for ages. After a lovely lunch we sat there for ages chatting and catching up. After we had paid, the manager came over and asked if we would like coffee on the house. What a nice gesture!
