Service poor - waited over ten minutes for a bottle of wine. Had to keep looking for staff. Food was good as usual. Generally a nice place to go for a meal.
This was my third visit to a Cote restaurant . The food was good, but initial welcome poor. The waiter was very abrupt , the request for a brandy and dry ginger was met with a gruff "we dont have any dry ginger ." When asked what sort of brandy I liked I was then told they only had courvoisier anyway. My daughter in law asked for a Pinot Grigio and was rudely reminded that this was a French restaurant and they did not keep Italian wine. The restaurant was extremely noisy and the bill pretty pricey bearing mind the lack of vegetables with all dishes except potatoes. I resent paying nearly three pounds for a small side dish of undercooked beans . I don' t think I will be returning to Cote.Back to good old Italian with a smile for me .
We went for breakfast for my father-in-law's birthday. My husband needs a gluten free menu and they had one with plenty of options on for him. We all went for the full breakfast (with gluten free toast for one meal). Great food, great service and good value. Highly recommended!
Lovely late lunch with helpful staff. Chicken chassseur and chocolate pot were delicious. Duck confit wasn't too tasty but potatoes with it were very herby and garlicky.
We are not usually disappointed and find the quality of service and food consistent. Having ordered risotto we were amazed to find there was no Parmesan available. Quite an oversight!!
Visited the restaurant on Sunday lunchtime. A lovely meal as always. Service is always good and staff very polite and helpful. Food well cooked and well presented.
We went to celebrate our son's graduation. The steak and chips were excellent as was the puddings. Service was efficient but discreet. A fantastic meal,highly recommend
Great food as always and helpful staff - catered for one of our party who had specific dietary needs. Cote seems to be able to maintain its standards in all its branches.
Always great food and great service. If you've got something special to celebrate, the staff will go out of their way for you and make sure it goes smoothly.
Great food as usual but the service was a bit slow. Menu needs a bit of variety as they didn't have much choice of specials.
Took my 20 year old nephew out for his birthday. The staff were very friendly and polite. The food and wine were delicious, would recommend.
we booked on-line which is really easy ,we received email confirmation. Staff were friendly and service was fast and food was lovely as always. We have visited the resturant regularly for the past 3 years while our Daughter has been at university and never been disapointed
Another great experience at Cote, excellent warm and friendly reception. Delicious food which was served by very personable experienced staff who once served with our choices they checked on quality and enjoyment of our dishes. Looking forward to our next visit which hopefully will be very soon.
Excellent value and great food. The anniversary menu had plenty to choose from and included a glass of champagne. Will be visiting again in the future.
A little too hot as the air con was broken which made it a little uncomfortable after an hour or so, Service was great though and food delicious
Always incredible service and a great atmosphere. The menu is always diverse and the food is well presented and great value for money, will definitely be back
First class meal and service . One of the best venues in St Albans . We have been for a meal at cote several times and to date never have a bad one . Go and enjoy .
First time at this branch of Côte - really nice setting and the usual friendly and professional Côte service. The food was excellent and we will be visiting again.
Service and food is great and nothing is ever too much for the team here. Pleasant environment and noticed an outdoor section today which would be lovely in the sun.
Food excellent, staff and service very good. BUT, they need to keep an eye on the toilets. Gents was disgusting! Don't know why people cannot leave a toilet as they would expect to find it and why the public don't complain about appalling hygiene in eating houses!
We visited cote for our family get together the breakfast was Excellent good value for money the staff were very friendly and efficient lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere
Lovely food and great service. Had a large buggy with us and staff were very accommodating with giving us a good table. Recommend visiting this restaurant.
It was a hot day and we had booked for 14:15. The staff were obviously stretched and tired. We had to ask for our order to be taken for both courses - I didn't feelmtheybwere at the top of their game. The food was fine.
Lovely ambience. Large covered garden area, well cooked and presented food, though quite expensive. Much better to go for value weekday set lunch. Slow service.
Excellent venue Staff very friendly and efficient. My food was excellent I had the pork belly. but my wife was disappointed with her starter she said it was bland
Great lunch in the garden and service was excellent. The risotto was not up to expectations but the rest was. A lovely afternoon with lovely food
Excellent service. Nice touch with the free glass of champagne.. our server was fantastic and very attentive. The food was also first class. I will definitely be back.
