Nice Valentines evening, lovely menu and wines, nice friendly staff. The fish was delicious, deserts also scrumptious. May have been a good touch to add a flower to the table!

A delicious meal for our family of 4. We arrived just before 7pm and so ordered from the fixed menu. As always, the food was first class- in particular the soup and cod.

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.

Great service, lovely food and a fantastic experience. Tried to book for my birthday through the website, but could only get a really late table for the five of us. Went in and the lady on the reception desk was fantastic, sorting out the booking in no time. We had a great meal with great service and a birthday ice cream for me!! Will most certainly be back.

Having reserved a table some time before the date I visited I was somewhat surprised to find my guest seated in an area which seemed to be where children were seated. Our table had push chairs either side and there were other children in the area. It's quite a big restaurant and there seemed to be other tables available in the other areas. Other than this everything was good and up to the usual Cotes standard. Unfortunately the seating let this venue down. I was meeting my friend for a catch up so I travelled to St Albans from Canary Wharf. I frequently go to Cotes at London Bridge. The service and food at St Albans was just as good but I have no idea why I was seated in what seemed to be a family area and there was food on the floor around my chair which would seem to back this up.

Whenever we have been to Cote Brasserie St Albans we are made welcome, the service is excellent and I must say (being a french woman) that the food has never disappointed us, it is always plentiful and beautifully cooked. We will returned as a couple or with friends many times in the future.

Pleasant relaxed meal as always. Enjoyed one of the March specials, the veal escalope. All 4 of us would have chosen it but only 2 left (at 6.30 pm); suggest upping the stock a bit.

We had a table for 6 on Saturday night, very attentive staff, delicious food, great value for money. The only bad point was the noise levels, it wasn't that loud on Christmas eve! I think next time we go we will ask if there is a quieter area ?
