Good setting, fantastic staff & great food. I hadn’t been to the new development by the river before, and it’s a good place to go if you’re looking for a restaurant. I was very impressed by the service in Côte, and the menu had lots of interesting choices.

Despite being a chain, the place has maybe some of the best food in town although quality of preparation does some times unfortunately vary. Still strongly recommended.

The Early bird menu is fantastic value and is unusually varied compared to other restaurants. Unsurprisingly they were very busy but still managed to give good service and It was delicious.

We all enjoyed the meals we had. The food was very good and service was good. We liked the seating area we had at the back of the restaurant and would ask for that area when we come again. Many thanks Linda Dielhenn

The food was very good but I only gave a 4 because we were squeezed in and practically sitting on top of the next table. Also I was not impressed that we were charged 12.5 percent service charge. There was only four of us so was not happy to get charged this. I know it is optional to pay but it was added onto the bill. For this reason I will probably not go back to this restaurant.

Delicious food, prompt, professional and friendly service, lovely atmosphere. A great restaurant with excellent staff. The restaurant was full on a Friday night. No annoying background music just sound of convivial conversations. Thank you Côte Brasserie, Reading.

Reasonable quality, French-style chain. Food is nice, but not inspiring - "safe" - and a wee bit overpriced. The ambience is subdued, but the main rooms are rather cavernous and so can get rather noisy in the middle when it's full. Try to book one of the booths at the back.

The food was good and the service was quick. The atmosphere and decor were enjoyable. However, the overall dinner was a little expensive. We don't recommend the onion soup. Too much cheese.

My friend and I had a great meal here. We wanted somewhere quiet and we got that here. It meant we were able to catch up without having to compete with noisy people at other tables. The staff were really attentive. The food was wonderful. The prices were good. I'll be back.

There were 5 of us and we needed to be in the centre of Reading. This was the obvious place to choose. We were shown to a table which was far enough away from others that we could talk and hear each other. The service was excellent, the staff were very pleasant, the food was delicious. We had a great meal.

We are fans of the Cote in Reading and we visit probably every month after we have watched a film in the cinema nearby. We have never had a below average meal, the food has always been good. Your staff are very well trained and we have always received first class service. So well done to all of them. Peter and GINA Butler

Booked table online for 3 plus 2 yr old. Waited at door few minutes to be seated. No highchair offered. When child's meal was served no teaspoon provided for child only large knife and fork! Had to leave seat and ask. Husband's duck meal was chewy which he left all around the plate. No one asked how our meal was so my husband called waiter. Offered another meal but we were almost finished then so declined. Waitress did take off duck meal on bill but then we were charged over £4 for service!! We were taking out grandson and daughter in law so was embarrassing asking for service to be removed. All in all not a pleasant experience.
