Our first meal out after lockdown - lovely alfresco meal and delightful service - thank you everyone at Cote !
The staff make any visit to Cote worthwhile, it is part of the reason we eat there. Shrewsbury Cote excels in this respect. Considering the well known high street brands that have pulled out of large cities like Birmingham we are pleased that Cote have decided to continue to serve Shrewsbury. I feel sure that the custom that used to patronise these other restaurants will now come to Cote, we will. Peter & Paddy Hall
Really lovely to back at Cote in Shrewsbury, and to see some familiar staff. The food and service was great and we felt very safe and relaxed.
Just perfect after lockdown and the first day of opening. Highly professional, lovely food and wine. Cannot recommend highly enough. The team were amazing!
Food was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the mussels and the steak was high quality. Pork was very soft and delicious however it was way too salty. For a French restaurant, serving wine, the wine glasses should be matched according with the corresponding wine. Atmosphere was amazing, bathrooms were clean, and the service was excellent. However, I would like to note that it is strange that it says optional gratuity on the bill when I haven’t opted for it. 5/6 stars. Would come again.
Excellent meal, service was first class. We will come again. We werre made to feel very comfortable and treated well. The selection of meals was just right. Well done.
Excellent service. Food was fantastic!! Lovely atmosphere. Could not fault anything. Lovely evening had. We will definitely be returning, it’s a must to visit this restaurant!!
Cote Shrewsbury never fails to impress and today’s lunch was no exception. The Breton chicken was outstanding as usual. Great staff, great service and great experience. Not my first visit by any stretch and I’ll certainly be back for more.
Lovely meal and great service would recommend try a visit, food excellent, I had pork belly and it was lovely and the potato gratan was to die for
Only disappointment was the bed of mushrooms that came with the monkfish which didn`t compliment the dish. Everything else was very good and the service was excellent.
We had been to Cote Shrewsbury twice before when the restaurant was relatively new. On both occasions the food and service were way below expectation. The good news is that all issues appear to have been resolved...service was as expected and the food was of a high standard! Slightly on the expensive side...2 starters, 2 mains, some olives a couple of beers and a bottle of wine and you say goodbye to £120...but I guess that's the going rate these days?
After choosing cote for a dinner booking this week i was very disappointed with the overall visit. I have visited the restaurant several times and chose it to celebrate an anniversary. After our order was placed it took 10 mins for the waitress to come back and tell us that all out main courses were unavailable, her excuse was that she wasnt informed of any shortages when starting her shift . We all chose different main courses but were left disappointed again when we were told the cider wasnt available either. My partner ordered the flat steak off the set 2 course menu but wasnt asked how he would like it cooked , I appreciate it is a flat steak but even so the cooking option wasnt offered to us. I have never experienced this before in the restaurant and was left very disheartened as it was the first time our guests had visited the restaurant on my recommendation. No monetry discount or complimentary offerings were suggested.Not a great visit this time im afraid.
Fabulous food as always. Just a little disappointed with some aspects of the service. we had ordered some bread before our meal after about 10 mins we were hurriedly informed that there was no bread and it would be removed from our bill. The waiter didn’t wait to ask if we’d like anything to replace the bread! We had two young children with us who were getting hungrier. After another 10 mins a member of staff did arrive with bread and apologies for the wait. Main meal was delicious however we were charged for the bread :)
Had such a lovely meal here once again! This time it was my boyfriends birthday and the staff brought over a card and a candle in his pudding. Always so happy and impressed with the food and service at Cote. Thank you!
We thought that we waited quite a while for our main course, but to be fair the restaurant was quite busy. All in all we personally think that Cote Brasserie is better than Cafe Rouge, Ask Italian, Zizzi and Carluccios, and we shall continue to support and enjoy meals at Cote Brasserie.
The food was consistent to the high standards I expect from Côte (I live in London), and the service was even better! The staff here have created a lovely, relaxing bistro environment and the chef cook the tuna of my Niçoise to perfection.
Fantastic as usual. Such a lovely atmosphere with the fabulous square location. Very helpful staff and tasty food always of the same standard and very delicious.
Had a lovely lunch for my birthday Food in general was excellent Strange had no bread with mussels or soup starters ? Had to ask for some Steak was lovely but lacked a mushroom or grilled tomato, small portion Pudding was shared , but beautiful ( crumble ) Service was brill I will return and give it another go Thank you
Lovely to see it so busy! Noisy but buzzing! Great service and lovely food! Service was quick and efficient. Very polite staff Great night! Thanks for s great evening
Great breakfast as always never had a bad meal here at breakfast lunch or dinner. Have taken lots of friends and family as we know we can really on atmosphere service and food, staff very friendly.
A very enjoyable lunch. The complimentary cocktail was a welcome bonus. Waitress was delightful. Attentive and good-humoured. My only criticism is that the main meals often need potatoes and vegetables to be purchased separately. I feel these should be included. Looking forward to my next visit hopefully very soon.
We have visited this restaurant before and found it nice and placed ideally near the town centre, unfortunately this time although the service wasn't terrible it was slow and are drinks were wrong for are first ordèr and we had to grab a member of staff to get are second round ordered then the wait between are starters and main meals seemed a long time especially as we only stopped for lunch . While it wasn't a bad experience for the money we paid we had expected a lot more from COTE.
Always reliable. Staff very helpful and friendly. I had a free bottle of wine for my birthday - much appreciated. Your stars for waiting time and noise level are confusing - if no waiting, is it 5 or 0 ?? If no noise, is it 5 stars or 0 ? I had no waiting time and there was not too much noise !
What a lovely restaurant. Brilliant service from start to finish. Thank you Cote for making out evening so lovely
Lovely meal and excellent service. The staff made our anniversary even more special with the attention and friendliness.
Our server was amazing. The sweetest young lady ever. She made our experience great. Food was only ok this time. My steak was rare not medium. A big difference. Ordered a side of potatoes au gratin. It was puny. Totally not an acceptable size for a side that costs that much. Also the side of carrots was also ridiculously small. Not sure who worked the kitchen last night but they need a lesson in how to cook a steak. Wine was great. Atmosphere always great. Will always be back. Just hope to see more consistency in the food.
Nice welcome, wasn't sat down for a minute that I was asked what I wanted to drink. Hadn't had time to look! So just chose in a hurry as the waitress was waiting. My daughter had the pork belly which she didn't eat, the potato dish was salty and her extra carrots had been forgotten but came in the middle of the meal they certainly weren't glazed. I paid the extortionate service charge although I thought it was cheeky as the service was far from perfect Won't be returning for a while
Fabulous food, great service, love the atmosphere, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. This was our fourth visit and yet again we were not disappointed. Love it
Brilliant food, lovely atmosphere, staff were polite and very friendly. Overall had a fantastic evening!
Excellent experience and lovely waiter and fine food until next time
We would not keep going back if the food and service were poor. Great food, nice menu and drink choice, professional yet with a friendly approach. Thank you again
This Was our second time and did not disappoint . From opening the door to being seated we were all made to feel welcome . Thankyou for a very enjoyable evening good food ,wine and company what more could you need . Definitely would recommend
Usually excellent but felt a little short staffed for a busy lunch service, hence service suffered slightly. Excellent food as always. Plates took a while to be cleared would be my main criticism. Will be back though as usually on the ball!
I'm so disappointed with my visit. I regularly dine at Cote, majority of times during the evening with family & friends. however I've always been a fan of the Breakfast menu, until today. The coffee cups were tiny & weak coffee, they didn't fit the saucers (why change them when previously was perfect). The plates were a smaller design, allowing a significant smaller portion to be served. The (smaller) breakfast had no taste, no seasoning, with 'snotty' poached eggs. I was going to email you. I'm very sad as I now need to find a new place to eat, as I'm sorry I'm put off returning. I totally appreciate you were busy today & the long wait & slightly wrong order for my husband on fathers day was overlooked due to this
A lovely relaxed Sunday evening meal. Attentive and professional service. Food was delicious.
Lamb cutlets excelant, Duck Breast ok but a little dry. Still good, will come again.
We normally have a great meal, however this evening was disappointing. After a lengthy wait our dinner arrived, my friends piping hot however mine was cold. After complaining (which I hate doing) the manager offered to get me a fresh one cooked, what was delivered 5 minutes later was the same dish but cooked more. Yes it was indeed now hot, however the duck was dry and tough. The carrots that were ordered as a side didn’t arrive back at the table until 10 minutes after the meals, again disappointing. The staff were very polite throughout and did offer complimentary drinks which was appreciated.
Busy Saturday evening.,some tables are a bit too close together. Staff friendly and professional Food disappointing Husband ordered goats cheese salad.. one thin slice of goats cheese at £10 is poor value I had Breton chicken which was dry and like cardboard. They knocked the price of the sauce off as I mentioned this to the waitress Could be so much better
Cote always go above and beyond to make the experience we have personal, a last minute large booking which can always be a struggle for a restaurant was no problem for Cote and the food and service was impeccable as always. Thank you so much for the cards and balloons. This restaurant will always be my go to for any special occasion. I also choose Cote regularly for a quick breakfast/lunch and again these experiences are always perfect and well worth the money. I can't praise them enough. The staff always seem calm and happy even at their busiest the management team remain respectful towards them and helpful to guests which is not always the case with many restaurants. This in turn creates the nicest atmosphere. Thank you again Cote!
A lovely meal with great service. As someone with Coeliac Disease eating out is often an anxious experience however the staff at Côte in Shrewsbury were excellent, the gluten free menu was clearly explained, the manager took my order personally and my food was brought out clearly labelled by a separate server to the rest of the party which gave confidence in their overall understanding of my condition. All of us enjoyed our meals, both main and dessert and the staff were extremely polite, attentive and service was speedy but not too speedy!
First of all I must say that ALL the staff are Fantastic - every time I visit Cote in Shrewsbury the staff there never fail to excel: from the welcome at the door, to the waiting staff, management ........... This visit proved to be of the same high standard: exceptional service, lovely food and staff that really wanted you to enjoy your evening. The only reason they have not got 5 stars is that there is always room for improvement. WELL DONE for making it a memorable evening for my wife and I - all staff deserve to be thanked. On a final note - I do like your Service Charge policy - if the service is this good then the staff deserve the mandatory tip - and it saves me having to concern myself with how much to pay them.
Really good Sunday lunch - three generations of family to celebrate our sons 18th. Staff were helpful with ordering and kindly brought his pudding with a birthday message on the plate and candle/sparkler. Food was well cooked, sensible portions and nice interiors. Thank you.
Fantastic service - our designated waiter was delightful, as was the food. The recommended blood orange cocktails also made for a perfect birthday meal in comfortable and stylish surroundings. Thank you!
Fabulous rhubarb Martini. Food delicious as always. All staff friendly and helpful
Service timings poor long wait for food Menu was restricted as youd run out of certain dishes Children’s menu poor People didn’t seem to know what was going on Couple items went back to kitchen to be corrected We were discounted but a terrible experience on mother’s day
Just had one slip up ordered 3 starters only 2 arrived we had to inform the staff twice to get third starter it ment someone was having to eat their starter after the other 2 had finished there's. Thought we may have had a bit of reduction in bill but no. Apart from that everything very good food atmosphere. Our table a bit noise near coffee machine but had good view of street and things going on outside so can't have everything. Market down for noise but know lots of tables no problems as we have been before.
Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Cote. Great atmosphere good food and attentive staff
