As ever the food was very nice. Seems fresh and well cooked. The waiting staff always polite and efficient. My only complaint, if it is a complaint, is the size of the table. We were a table of four, we were sat on a round table, and what with a couple of side dishes and two glasses each, one for wine and one for water...and with the bottles with the complimentary water in the tables are far to small...Otherwiese a lovely meal.

Good atmosphere and food, as ever. We waited a little while to catch someone's eye to get our bill, but that was a very small thing in a pleasant evening. Overall, just as expected, which is why we keep coming back.

We were a party of 5, we all chose differently and everyone enjoyed what they had. Delicious food. Would recommend Breton fish stew! 1 of our party vegetarian and there was a separate vegetarian menu with great choice of dishes. Hope we can visit again soon.

Our visit to Cote in Reading is always very warm and welcoming. The food was as delicious as usual and our friends we took have already said that we should meet there again. I would have rated our visit a 6 but I do have to say the waitress who served us was a little short in her approach. Our friends did comment on this too. Maybe she was just having a bad day?

Dirty forks, intrusive waiters. Pain au chocolate was dry and stiff, probably too old. For such a price, we were hoping for a better experience.

Enjoyed a lesuirely saturday lunch, perfect for a girls get together. Really enjoyed the Kir Royale. I had the lamb which was perfectly cooked and we both had a chocolate dessert. Service was attentive but unobtrusive and we were not rushed in anyway at all. Thank you.

We had a lovely meal to celebrate my husbands birthday and they had a bottle of his favuourite wine on the menu too. When we arrived the restaurant manager was about to change a table for 3 to a 4 for us, but made a larger table upstairs available to us when I objected. The food was excellent as usual, as was the service. In all a good experience - thank you.

Welcoming and attentive service. Food well-cooked and presented. Formule breakfast menu was amazing value for money and we left feeling we'd definitely visit again, rather than feeling fleeced (some of the other chains make you feel that way). First visit to this particular Cote but setting, service and food didn't disappoint.

Arrived on time 8.15 pm. No table ready. waited 10 mins until we could be seated. Then waited a further 15 mins until offered a drink. Had to wait a further 15mins for starters to arrive. It was then another hour until mains arrived. 10.00 pm. At 10.30 0 WE asked for the bill. No deserts or coffee offered. We complained to the Head Lady?? She took the price a bottle of house wine off. We didn't pay the 12% service charge! The food was lovely the service was appalling.

We had a lovely meal once we had moved tables. I booked online and requested a quiet table against the wall as one of the part wears heaing aids. We were seated in the middle of the room and even we found that noisy. We asked to be moved fortunately there was a spare table. We don't like to make a fuss especially when out with other people so,if this could be highlighted as it is a bit embarrassing having to,bring attention to the situation. Regards Mrs Mintern
