Lovely food lovely staff and great atmosphere. I think the chef in St Albans is a particularly good one. We keep going back again and again. It’s our happy place!
Cote is by far the best restaurant chain. Never had a bad meal.

Lovely atmosphere and service, and nice food options. Reasonable prices for wine and food. Would be enhanced if there was a set menu, similar to the one during the week
The food was lovely and lots of choice. The staff were friendly and attentive.
The food and service was very good but we were in a corner with all the other tables occupied which made it very noisy, sad as we were meeting family, there were empty tables so would have been better to space people out
Fantastic food and good service. Friendly and helpful staff made it an extra special experience.
Very good restaurant overall . Food is very good as is the service

Table was dirty, had to request it was cranked again Slow service & the Tuna Niciose was service on a very hot plate, consequently the lettuce was soggy & transparent, the replacement dish was thrown together with no potatoes or dressing, it was very poor. The waiter struggled understanding the dishes / order from the menu and had to copy it down from the menu. Staff seemed short and all harassed.
Excellent food and service as always, at a reasonable price.
Great breakfast, great service, great atmosphere and the mimosas topped it all off. Consistency is king! A great way to start the stag. Well done St Albans
A few minor issues at the beginning and an indifferent waiter were quickly rectified by a fabulous waitress. Food very good and everyone left with a full tummy

A lovely meal with friends. Attentive staff & very good food.
Wonderful early summers evening spent on the terrace. Staff were friendly and accommodating as always - they remade my cocktail without egg white as I have an egg intolerance. A lovely cocktail, incredible food and all round great service and ambiance as always.
Nice food but service very slow and poor for Mother’s Day lunch . have been here a few times as the vegetarian menu is good .
Lovely staff who are so helpful and the food is consistently of a Hugh standard. This is my “go to” restaurant-even if I only want to meet a friend for a coffee
Great service and food served really quickly. Lovely atmosphere for a special occasion. Excellent quality food, attractively presented, served piping hot. Excellent choice and excellent value set menus.
Excellent service and food. Beverage service was quick and food service followed shortly after. Definitely recommended for a speedy breakfast. Coffee particularly good although hot chocolate could do with some improvement. Take a leaf out of the Belgians guys.
We always have a great meal in Cote and last night was no different. Both food and service were excellent!
Excellent food and service and a great menu to choose from. Everything is reasonably priced and the early bird menu is great value for money. Will come again.
Brunch for three today was ideal. Despite being a busy Mothers Day, we didn't feel rushed at all.. Food nicely cooked as requested, and pleasantly served.. An enjoyable visit!
Been here so many times, but today they were over stressed. Father's Day so it was busy. one of the meals wasn't up to par but they changed it straight away. Service was amzing
We came for a leaving due, i haven’t been for 5 years and the expectations were lovely calamari was still as good as last time. The steak was cooked perfectly. No complaints with my friends either so thank you!
Great evening, service food and atmosphere all amazing. Would recommend.
Great place , service and food was lovely Highly recommend this plAce
We had a lovely experience at Côte. Our waiter was incredible professional and very attentive. He even provided a candle for my son’s dessert! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much.
Great food and great value for money. Slightly quiet for a Tuesday evening but the service was Great. Would definitely go back soon.The wine offer was great and I would highly recommend.
We took our granddaughter who was 13 years old today to celebrate her birthday with her younger sister. The meal was lovely as always and the staff attentive. They brought a lit candle in her dessert and sang happy birthday and she was delighted. Such a lovely gesture. We go most weeks for lunch normally and have never been disappointed. Well done Cote 😊
The service was attentive and the atmosphere was great, the food was average - sirloin steak quite gristly and fries over cooked . Starters were good
As always, a lovely welcome from the staff on entering the restaraunt .My friends and I had the free Gin and Tonic offer which was a lovely start to an excellent meal.We have been coming since it opened and have never been disappointed !
Went for an anniversary meal. The Food really good as was the service but both my courses (starter & main), were lukewarm which was a pity.
It was lovely - but we were charged for a green salad which we didn’t order! We ate it because we thought it was complimentary, but it wasn’t!
Lovely food, great cocktails and really good customer service. I had a lovely birthday meal with friends here - one of my favourite restaurants. Will definitely come back.
Food was fantastic but unfortunately some of the staf were very blunt and seemed very uninterested. They were unaccomodating and started moving and cleaning the tables/chairs before people had finished eating
Bought the wrong items to the table twice. Staff dropping plates, trays and other items throughout the service and generally very noisy. Didn't seem to be quite as much care as usual - a bit slap dash.
Cote St.Albans is a happy place. The staff are great the food is good. Why go anywhere else. . . . . .. .. ..
Excellent food, attentive service, a very enjoyable experience. We were in the restaurant for two hours and this felt very leisurely. The prestige menu was very good value.
It was all delicious Service was efficient and fast Food was good Wine was a. It over-priced but otherwise it was a good experience We have been to Cote in other cities. And equally good food and service and slightly expensive wine!
Delicious food, and lovely service. A great place to visit
The service of our main waitress was poor and the whole attitude of the staff was not at all professional. The food was ok but nothing special.
Always good service and the lunchtime special is always fabulous value for money. Served promptly so you can go in your lunch hour without fear of rushing
In short a brill nite out. Want to come back. Tasty food, good room lay out. Helpful staff. Went the extra mile. Thankyou all so much
Went for Mother’s Day. We had the set menu which was very good value. Lovely food , cooked perfectly. The service was very good too. Very professional. Definitely recommend it !
Excellent food, well-presented. Wine good and service fine. Very good spot for lunch.
Amazing time at Cote St Albans. We served by a young Italian waiter who was simply superb. Sorry forget the name of the young man but he was brilliant! We had the duck and loved it he also sorted us muscles to start and they were lovely. Desert was cheese which we shared and they even put a candle in it for my birthday! Thanks Guys!
We had a really excellent evening tonight with friends. The food was excellent, well presented and cooked to perfection. The sparkling wine is excellent value compared to other restaurants and is very palatable!! The desserts were all delicious and we will certainly be returning again in the near future.
As always Food very good. However table we were given was much too close to the bar which was quite noisy at times while staff prepared various drinks Etc. It seemed that all the tables in that area were much too close together and as it was quite a busy time most of the tables were full and therefore made the noise level at times quite unbearable, as quite a large part of the restaurant wasn’t being used we felt it necessary to shout when talking as did the other diners. Are the tables packed close together to make it more convenient for the staff?
We received a warm welcome and the staff were generally attentive. We dined early and the restaurant was pleasantly quiet to start with, once it got busier it got very noisy and it was hard to hear each other. The staff naturally also got busier. The food was excellent, we all enjoyed our meals. The only oddity was after ordering desserts we were asked about coffee and an espresso was ordered. It then came immediately long before our desserts, we had expected it after the desserts, or at least at the same time. As it was such a short drink it would have been stone cold if we had left it to drink at the appropriate stage of the meal.
being regulars we both ordered the wrong dishes insofar as the asparagus was 'salty' but was remedied. the tuna was presented in sauce[rather than plain grilled ] and my lamb chops were chops rather than cutlets. our fault for not reading the menu in detail !!

Awesome brunch, staff spoiled my husband with a birthday drink and fab service - would definitely recommend x
Another great meal, loved the duck, friendly service... we’ll be back:)
Always enjoy Cote. Good atmosphere, friendly service and a good variety of dishes on the menu makes Cote a great place to go regularly. We go say twice a month .
