Comfortable, good service, nice food. Unfortunately the specials had run out, but they gave us free drinks to compensate us for our disappointment. Overall a pleasant experience.

Very welcoming greeting at front of house, seated quickly and water/drinks quickly followed. Perhaps too many choices of menus now - why are there 2 set menus? Food good and pleasant atmosphere.

I'm a big fan of Cote. Whichever branch you go to, you're assured of a warm, welcoming and buzzy atmosphere. The food is tasty and prices are reasonable value for money. The only reason I haven't given the restaurant a 6 is I think you could do with more vegetarian options on the menu. When you visit as regularly as I do, it can get a little repetitive alternating between the two main courses (that don't have goats cheese) or salad. However, I love your French onion soup and always choose it without fail. I can highly recommend Cote and the St Albans branch in particular. We always have a good time.

We regularly visit this Côte restaurant and again they gave us a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the wine first class and a very reasonable price. The seasonal specials are an excellent idea as there is always something new to try.

Good value set menu but house wine expensive once they have added 12.5% service charge. I would prefer menu prices to show this or for service to be optional

Very friendly welcome and although the restaurant was every quite the atmosphere was still good - we ordered from the a la carte menu and food was great. I am always confused at the "complimentary water" that they make a big point of, surely it's just tap water????? Great food, service but noticed some prices are creeping up!

Good food, nice environment and friendly attentive staff. Only negative was it took a while to make payment after requesting bill which, when you need to get back to the office after a leisurely “working” lunch, could prove annoying to some...
