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
Excellent service, divine food..........simply the best in st Albans
Thought quality of steak and chips was really poor. Flavourless Expensive for this type of mass produced food Would not return
We were a party of 17 people. I was very impressed that all the dishes were high quality and appeared quickly, without any mistakes. The staff were lovely too. Great evening, thanks
Delicious food and great service!! My steak was superb and my partner's duck was to die for. Good range of wine, and an amazing dessert.Thank you.
A good experience from when we arrived until we left. The service was good, the food was good and the wine went well with the food.
Probably won't rush back. Chipped glass and dirty cutlery. Ceiling covered in filler half finished. Small portion Just a bit disappointing. Better value elsewhere. Sorry bit of a shame
Had a fantastic meal as usual. Fantastic food fantastic service.
Very enjoyable evening. Lady Alison and I had. Lovely evening for our 15th Wedding anniversary. The staff are always brilliant and the food divine. Thank you for making our evening so special. Lord and Lady (Mark and Alison) Bilsby.
Last night of our honeymoon and the waitress made the night really special. Lovely service, delicious food.
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.
Good gluten free food certified By the coeliac society. Good choice good service. Value for money. Happy to come again and again. Chocolate pot Was Very tiny. Thank you
Great service and attention to detail. Good fresh hot food, nicely presented!
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!
Really good tasty presentable food met the chefs and gave them my compliments on all the food prepared for our table on the night thank you
Fantastic food as always and great service. The sea bass was cooked to perfection. Great cocktails, the terrace area is nice but could do with a little refurb. Thank you
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.
A lovely meal with friends. Attentive staff & very good food.
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.
Nice food but service very slow and poor for Mother’s Day lunch . have been here a few times as the vegetarian menu is good .
Lovely staff who are so helpful and the food is consistently of a Hugh standard. This is my “go to” restaurant-even if I only want to meet a friend for a coffee
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.
We use Cote a lot particularly the Bishops Stortford restaurant, never had a bad meal the staff are pleasant, all in all a good experience, equally well St Albans was up to scratch
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.
Good food, good service and good value. Will come again.
Great food, as always staff so sociable and warm! Love xx
Cote St.Albans is a happy place. The staff are great the food is good. Why go anywhere else. . . . . .. .. ..
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.
It was all delicious Service was efficient and fast Food was good Wine was a. It over-priced but otherwise it was a good experience We have been to Cote in other cities. And equally good food and service and slightly expensive wine!
Was able to get a table at short notice on a Saturday night. It was warm and welcoming. Waiting staff were attentive while being able to eat in peace, not rushed even when the restaurant was busy and no waiting on courses and the food was good quality
Delicious food, and lovely service. A great place to visit
Free cocktails didn’t taste nice Good good as always, felt a little rushed
Food was very good though the service was a little slow.
Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere & great service. A wonderful evening spent with friends. The food was delicious and the new February cocktail was amazing! A great night.
We love Cote St Albans, the staff are efficient and friendly, the atmosphere is perfect, not too noisy and the food is delicious and good value. No wonder it is such a success with us.
Lovely meal, good service bit too cold in seating area
We had main courses from the special April menu. The rose veal and lamb rump were both cooked beautifully. As usual the service was excellent and the ambience superb.
Good food,good service and a great location That's why we are regular customers
Delicious breakfast great food and good value, love going. The breakfast and lunch offers are fab so great excuse to treat yourself!! Had the crepe breakfast for the first time... it was amazing.
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.
Great food and excellent value, however service needs to be more attentive particularly around shift change in the afternoon. However would visit this restaurant again .
The service of our main waitress was poor and the whole attitude of the staff was not at all professional. The food was ok but nothing special.
Absolutely loved my breakfast experience. The breakfast deal is great value for money and delicious. Would have every week if I could!! So much choice and the staff are very attentive and friendly
Always good service and the lunchtime special is always fabulous value for money. Served promptly so you can go in your lunch hour without fear of rushing
I booked for my Birthday celebrations. We all received a free kia royal which was yum. The food and drinks as usual lovely and delicious. Every member of staff working that night was amazing, so accommodating and friendly. They're a real asset to your business. Thank you Kelly
In short a brill nite out. Want to come back. Tasty food, good room lay out. Helpful staff. Went the extra mile. Thankyou all so much
Went for Mother’s Day. We had the set menu which was very good value. Lovely food , cooked perfectly. The service was very good too. Very professional. Definitely recommend it !
