Really nice experience. Food was good and varied menu choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. There was a blip as one of the March specials is iamb rump and there is also a lamb rump dish on the standard a la carte menu. The order was taken down and input correctly however the kitchen mistakenly served up the wrong dish. It 'twas handled very professionally by the front of house team. Meal,replaced quickly and deducted from our bill.

A lovely meal as always. Our restaurant of choice never fails to impress. We enjoyed the complimentary cocktails and both the lamb and the belly pork main meals were cooked perfectly.

Cote Reading is, in my experience, consistently good and today was no exception. Food is good value, staff very good and overall it's a great place to go. But I have to say not all Cotes are as good as the Reading restaurant.

Very good service and delicious food. A shame about the person on a nearby table with a laugh like a sub-machine gun but I can't blame the restaurant for that !

Consistently good, both food and service. The staff are excellent, attentive and friendly. This experience was marred slightly by another table who had no control of their toddler, but the restaurant staff handled it as well as could be expected.

We went for Mother's Day lunch and it was very busy but this didn't affect the food quality or cooking - everything was superb. Calamari tender & crisp, as was the duck & the fillet steak perfectly pink. A kir royale (part of the deal) & wonderful service topped off a lovely family occasion in our favourite Cote restaurant - a perfect way to spend Mother's Day!

Great food, great atmosphere as usual, service superb. I do think you need to be careful when booking on line if you're angling for the complementary wine or cocktail as we found the Rhubarb Martinis on our bill as I'd apparently not clicked the right buttons - really? They were taken off but it tainted the effect of the evening - shame.

Three of us had a delicious and fun birthday lunch at here. Two of us chose from the set menu and one of us from the a la carte. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and efficient and we had a most enjoyable time. Côte is my favourite Reading restaurant.

Excellent meal, great service as always at this riverside restaurant in Reading. The Monkfish wrapped in bacon and a gorgeous Sirloin steak were our mains, I can highly recommend the monkfish, delicious, followed by the chocolate fondant and my favourite, Creme Caramel... Wonderful food at a reasonable price.

An amazing quick lunch with friends. I had a salad with bacon, croutons and a poached egg on top followed by a squash cake sitting on a delicious sauce accompanied by spinach and again a perfectly poached egg on top. All washed down with a glass of white Lagarde wine with an Americano to finish. Loved it!

We had a lovely pre Mother's Day evening meal here on Saturday. We were very happy with the customer service and table service received and look forward to coming here again as this is a yearly tradition. Lovely waiter waited our table most of the evening and had a great sense of humour. The food was exceptional too.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere in a convenient waterside location. The food, as ever, was very enjoyable and the coffee excellent. There were no vegetarian options on the February menu or the specials menu, but enough to choose from on the main menu.

I really enjoyed my dinner tonight, I had the half roast chicken which was delicious and my partner got given a rump steak by mistake instead of the sirloin, which generously got taken of my bill by the lovely waiter. We also used the deal for a free bottle of wine so had a very reasonable meal. All in all, very good service and lovely food.

We chose Cote for a Company Lunch as they usually are fast and efficient, plus, its the only Chain Restaurant I set foot in. The Service was efficient in taking our Order, but that is sadly where it stopped. We where 12 people, we waited 20 Minutes for starters (we ordered from the lunch menu so I expect a bit swifter Service) and the starters where fine. no water refills, we had to mention to the waiter twice that we like some more water, despite having other drinks and wine on the table. Any how, after 30 Minutes of waiting the mains arrived, only to find out that one Main was forgotten to order, and one steak was so overcooked you could not even cut it! Great, so one person received their food right at the end when everyone was finished, and the other person received their food half way through. By that time we where all ready nearly 2 hours in the restaurant, and there was 2 members who waited for dessert to the point that we actually told not to bother and we paid. This for some reason was very swift and payment was taken quickly. I have to point out that the over cooked steak and the forgotten Dish where taken off the Bill. Thank you! When we got up, one of my Team member points out that he had ordered Dessert! i could not believe it, they actually forgot that to. Anyhow, all in all my food and some of my team members food was good, others not, but the Service was anything but great!
