Excellent food and great personal service and good value especially the set lunch and dinner. Could either bring down the price of the beers or bettter still serve draught beer.

This is the best Cote Brasserie I have been to. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food arrives promptly and tastes delicious, which is often not the case for a chain restaurant. Love the riverside location. Would definitely visit again.

Would be nice to have some non-French wine choices, especially at the cheaper end and I think it's ridiculous to charge 12.5% service - in a Michellin star restaurant, yes, but not a chain restaurant. Otherwise service was ok and food was good.

my favourite meal served in my favourite restaurant by my favourite waitress. Perfect wedding anniversary treat. I can't fault the place. From the interior to the menu to the quality of food to the music to the most excellent service. I just love the Cote!!

Food good and service good. We had the anniversary menu which as more than adequate. Not sure why our table was not prepared in advance when we had booked.

Nice restaurant and service, but food very inconsistent. Someone in my party ordered mussels which were rubbery and not very pleasant. I have tried Cote Reading 2 times now and I know we will not visit again at this point.

Lovely atmosphere and great lighting. Waiter was very helpful and attentive. Draught from door made food cold though and I didn't like the vinaigrette sauce with my haddock.

The food quality and service was exactly what we expected, but the whole evening was spoiled by our server's reluctance to change the service charge. At 12.5% for straightforward service to just 6 people it was not far off adding the cost of another diner to our bill. Our intention was to change it to an amount we felt more appropriate, but to our amazement we were told that they would 'prefer not to, as it was disrespectful to the other staff'. In the end we asked another server to do it, but be warned that our experience suggests that Cote would appear to EXPECT you to pay much more than the prices displayed.

Lovely atmosphere and food, some of the staff lovely, one of the servers looking after us didn't seem to know what was going on but maybe he was still training? Either way the rest of the staff were lovely and food/drink high quality

Only one meal from five of us was disappointing. The service was excellent as always; very attentive and considerate as we we're balancing the needs of a toddler.

great food, good service, but mostly my good friends. prosecco could be reduced in price. we meet every 3 months and sometimes find it hard to choose from the menu as I've had everything before. Would like more new options.

Walked in with a family in front and a couple behind both were seated before me, I had no apology for being ignored. Then had to wait 30 minutes for our mains. Plenty of other restaurants in the Oracle, I'm not coming back in a hurry

Overall good, the service, cleanliness excellent. The Manager very helpful as the Butterfly Chicken with mushroom sauce was rather dry. Absolutely love Cote, been to your restaurants in Liverpool, Exeter, Oxford, Reading & Marlow, which I personally think has the best vibe, service & slick attention to detail but the key point with all the restaurants is consistency & value. Best wishes Maria
