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

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.

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.

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 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 😊

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.

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 !!
