Always a great meal at Cote, it’s my fourth different place and they’re always great thank you! I’d prefer to do my own tip and not automatically be charged 12.5%. I know it’s ‘optional’ but when you’re in company who wants to make a scene!

Food was delicious, amazing quality for good value for money. We are off of the prestige set menu and we’re very impressed. I had a rib eye steak which cut through like butter, it was so soft, not chewy at all. Service was excellent. Couldn’t find any faults.

Enjoyed the food but the house wine at only 12% is a rip-off for the price they charge and is not very good quality.service charge a little steep at 12.5%

Attentive to allergies, great choice for gluten free and fantastic food. Perhaps a little noisy although it was a lunch with many families in. Only improvement would be to have all whites on the menu chilled and available.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. There is a specials list for the month which adds variety of choice to the base menu, The costs are generally a bit higher than other regional chains but the quality is so good that I believe it is worth the extra, a lovely place to go for a special night out. The one thing I don't like is the noise level, it is difficult to hold a conversation with your companions, I am sure it could be reduced with the introduction of some simple, inexpensive features to breakup the large open dining area. Its worth knowing that they do a great breakfast as well!

I had the fancy chicken and chips with the tomato and olive sauce. It was nice. The chicken was cooked well and the chips were nice. But I wasn’t overly impressed by it. The Sauvignon blanc was tasty and the waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The whole ambiance of the place was nice. It was busy for a Thursday night (so must be good). I was put in the centre aisle and felt a little exposed there. People were stood round us chatting and the waiting staff often had to squeeze by. Food was served quite quickly. The caramelised onion flat bread was nice with a touch of goats cheese. Price actually wasn’t too unreasonable. Would I dine here again? Yes. I liked it

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.

We enjoyed a lovely evening at the Cote Reading. We indulged in three courses all of which were very enjoyable.The duck confit was the star although the dessert, the tarte fine aux pommes, was not far behind. The service was excellent.

Meal booked for 4 people online in advance. On arrival, we were allocated a lovely booth area and attended to by a friendly and helpful waiter. We cannot fault anything as orders were taken and drinks and food delivered in very good time, there being no sense of being rushed nor having to wait. The food itself was well prepared, the right temperature and delicious. The prices correctly reflect the quality of service and fare. Highly recommended if your target is £30-£40 per head with drinks included.

We always dine at Cote, the food is excellent, but I particularly like Cote because I am Coeliac and have to eat a very strict gluten free diet. I always feel safe at Cote as they cook the gluten free food separately and always have it marked gluten free when they bring it to your table. We mainly dine at the Reading Cote, but have also dined at Cote in Eton and Bournemouth. They are all excellent.
