Both food and service were really good! What I do find annoying is that a optional service charge is added. We were a party of 3. I'm always happy to tip for service but when it is added automatically I purposely don't add anymore.

Great tasty food reasonably priced and very good service. Go there often and yet to be disappointed. Today I started off with a beetroot and goat cheese salad, then had an excellent Boeuf Bourguignon as my main course and my favourite Crepe Praline for pudding.

Main course arrived a bit quick after ordering some olives to start. Didn't get chance to eat!! Also chicken was a bit tough! Friends enjoyed their meals although bit small, pudding delicious.

Really great evening with good food. Had the confit duck special as the sauce sounded so good but there was not enough of it and when we asked for some more (for 3 of us) we were given a very small jug. Otherwise really good

We were greeted warmly and promptly given drinks. The food was excellent and it was no trouble to change the potatoes that came with the dish to gratin potatos. There was a lovely atmosphere. We had a super meal.

Overall the meal was very good but portion sizes were small. Also do not like service charge being automatically added. Also when ordering drink we were not asked which gin we wanted just given more expensive premium brand.

Love this restaurant. From the moment you walk in it does feel special and the food is excellent. The Reading branch is quite large but still manages to make the dining experience feel intimate.

We had breakfast again today, full English...wonderful and filling, one critism ( a small one) the bacon had been standing rather a long time thus was a little hard, but I would not let that put me off going again and again. A good English breakfast always set you up for the rest of the day. Staff as usual very polite and friendly......many thanks.

Reliably good food plus friendly and attentive staff make Cote a really good restaurant experience. The Reading dining area is spacious too, which means that the noise levels are lower than at some Cote venues (eg Wimbledon Village!).

Service was a bit slow and not many gluten free meals offered on the set menu which saved the people I was dining with a lot of money. Nevertheless, the food was gorgeous!

At COte the food is predictable yet varied with many specials and seasonal dishes. The service on the day was great. Whenever I've had any service issues at any other branch, they've always been dealt with effectively

Excellent food and service as usual! We come to Côte in Reading quite often... Warm bread and olives to nibble on, very enjoyable starters (my mussels were lovely), tasty mains and a fab chocolate cake with hazelnuts picked from the specials. My parents loved it too!!!

Lovely food. A friend is vegetarian and was struggling with the regular menu to find something suitable. The waiter then offered a vegetarian menu which then gave some choice. Maybe this menu should be more obvious and perhaps place one on a table...we go there often and hadn't realised there was one!
