Côte St Albans

Good meal generally. Service also friendly except for a mix up with dessert. Unfortunately the waiter repeated loudly and certainly within our earshot that we HAD ordered the dessert he brought. He obviously misheard and should have dealt with it more subtly. The customer is always right!! For £15 service on a bill for 4 people I would have expected better.

Excellent. Service terrific. Food very good and ambiance and atmosphere really wonderful. Will be back!

Good food. Staff a bit miserable Nice atmosphere Relaxed surroundings

Food was lovely and service was good. They were really helpful in rearranging things so we could have our preferred seating - those little extra things make such a difference. Thanks

Great food, great service, great restaurant. As usual Cote St Albans didn’t let us down.

We had a lovely lunch to celebrate my sister’s birthday! Food was good and the service was good too! Many thanks for making our day so special.

Great food and great service as always. If you haven’t tried them the cod croquettes are delicious.

We felt rushed. The chicken was quite dry. Didn't appreciate the 12.5% service charge being added. I probably won't come back again.

I haven't been to Cote St Albans for a long time as the service/ food is never quite right - never experienced this elsewhere - just St Albans. It is my nearest Cote so I thought it must have improved by now, but unfortunately not. Its not dreadful but there is always something not quite right. Our starter was brought almost as soon as the garlic bread was brought - how did we have time to eat this (or have room for it on the table). The peas were rock solid and inedible (and taken off the bill). We were offered our main course as soon as starters were cleared - perhaps this is your policy but surely restaurant serving staff know the right time to leave between courses? No other restaurants I have been to have this issue. I am back to my original view -not awful, but just not great. Perhaps staff should go to work at other branches to see that it doesn't have to be like this?

We had a table of 20 last night and from start to finish it was an excellent evening. Elena and the team were very good and looked after us very well. I would recommend them 100%

Tasty food and helpful service. We keep coming back - that has to be a good sign!

We come here at least once a month sometimes more either for breakfast or dinner always excellent food and service my favourite restaurant

Great but they didnt have soya milk for a soya latte, nowadays thats fairly basic isnt it for people allergic to milk, other than that it was excellent as always. It is always quite loud at Cote when it gets full, some acoustic damping would go a long way.

Calm , Efficient and well received meals appreciated by all

We had a fabulous night. When I booked I mentioned that it was my girlfriends birthday. We were giving Kir Royale on arrival and a Verne brûlée with a candle and happy birthday was sung. Corny but very thoughtful. 100% going again.

Cotes St Albans was OK. Service needs reviewing as very slow and not always able to understand what waiter was actually saying. Lot of noise as busy, low ceiling didn’t help. Food was nicely presented. Had to get up and ask for bill as wait was endless.

We are regular visitors to Cote Brasseries, St.Albans, London and the newer one in Watford. Always good.

Excellent service and delicious food. A winner on Fathers day

We had a lovely meal with great service everyone was very happy.

Waitresses very attentive on several visits Laura and Isabella always remember our favourite drinks and food.

All very positive - we did have to ask for wine list 3 times but service in general was good.

Great food, great service, quite noisy because floors are wooden but love this particular Côte. Super team! ❤️

Cote is always good and reliable for food and service.

Food was lovely, service was a bit slow after ordering starters and main course. We always had to ask for pudding menus, more drinks and coffee, it wasn't offered. The staff are very nice and friendly though.

Fab food and wine, service a little slow, we kept having to ask for things as opposed to being approached.

Everything was great, food service and prices will be coming back for more

Attentive service, well presented and flavoured food. Ideal early supper prior to another evening event

Food is always good. Service is hit or miss. Overall, not usually friendly or solicitous.

Enjoyable with very pleasant staff Saturday so it was noisy

As always good food and service. Would suggest separate section for parents with children. Meal was spoilt by unruly kids (brats) on next table!

nice restaurant, good food very enjoyable, will go again. service good

Service and food was very good. However portion size a little on the small side.

A lovely evening with great food, an enjoyable evening for us all

Lovely food and lots of choice. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

The food and service were up to the usual high standard but it was rather noisy as they had a party in the restaurant

Great place! Food was lovely and the staff very attentive

Good food, highest than average price. Service was average, had a good round table for a large group

Food, as always, very nice. Service was a little bit on the slow side

good as ever, can't really fault it. better than Ivy, better than Loch Fyne, better than Brasserie Blanc was.

We enjoyed our food and the service was very good. We found the noise level very loud and it was difficult to hold a conversation with our friends.

Service and food was excellent. Great Sunday lunch and seating.

Wonderful experience with good food, service and friendly staff. Will definitely go again.

Cannot complain about anything as we were 1 of perhaps 2 other couples ; so we had excellent service and great food

The lunch was great! Staff slightly slow but we weren’t really in a rush. Overall enjoyed it

Food was very good though service was a bit slow.

We went to the Cote on Friday evening for a meal. We were greeted by a very pleasant lady who let us choose a table, gave us menus and the complimentary bottle of water. The food was delicious and we’ll definitely be back.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good choice of food. We will be back

Very good service and really nice atmosphere. Really good food and worth it!

Great value menu. Food was delicious and excellent service. Would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful meal! We both chose from the April set menu and were delighted with everything. The staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant itself was a delight.
