We found the menu, food, service and value to be very good. Our only negative was being kept waiting at the entrance for a table, for too long. This will put us off a return for sometime

First time trying this restaurant. All looked nice on website. Came for Sunday brunch. I had full English, my wife had Eggs Royale - we both had poached eggs and all were cold. Other parts of the breakfast were ok but cold eggs just ruins everything. Best part of the whole meal was the coffee! On a side note, used the toilets... you need to find a toilet seat that fits the toilet and clean the floors. It's the whole experience that matters and this feels like you don't really care. Won't be back, lots of other places to try.

An excellent Menu and the monthly specials ensure a variety of choices. The early dining deal available up to 7pm daily is great value for money. This is one place where I could happily eat everything on the menu, albeit not in one sitting!

Always enjoy my dinners at Côte Brasserie... this was the 2nd time to visit the St Albans branch.. food always great only downside was we had quite a wait till order was taken ... staff were scarce to the point one from my party went to the bar herself to order her drink .. to avoid further waiting ... being mindful it was a Sunday evening so it was very quiet. everything else was good.

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.

Definitely a complete change from the previous time. Myself and my friend felt incredibly welcome, staff were attentive and the food was incredible (which it always has been). Would like to return in the future which I would do even just for the bread basket and butter.

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.

Brilliant first experience of Cote. Super gluten free menu. It was my Mum's 70th birthday and they kindly brought out a complimentary dessert with Happy Birthday written in chocolate - a lovely surprise and really appreciated. I will definitely return.

Lovely martini and Asparagus starters. I then had a lovely Swordfish steak but unfortunately my friend had a Lamb Chop which was gristly and undercooked.

Lovely lunch again. Food and service was very good as it was a week ago when I visited for dinner. There was a slight delay in serving the olives and the water was forgotten but was quickly brought when asked. This was not a problem as my friend and I were in no hurry. We both had the salmon starter which was very tasty and the minute steak which was also very good. I chose the apple tart for desert with the vanilla ice cream and again was scrumpy. Also good atmosphere for a Saturday lunchtime.

Good food and service but when there are only three tables occupied why were we put right by the bar and next to the disabled/baby changing toilet? A very big restaurant with plenty of empty tables. We did change tables but very draughty. We were not offered the evening menu. We were served 6 glasses of the G And T cocktails immediately we sat down. Unfortunately 5 of these were not wanted but no alternative on offer.

the food was incredible as was the service. I had the lamb which was so tender I almost didn't need a knife to cut it. this was served on mashed potato and petite pois which were sweet and tender. I decided to have the banana & chocolate crepe which was pre-made. The meal was finished off by a superbly made Irish coffee. The portions could perhaps be a little bigger but on the whole I definitely would come again.
