Had lunch at Cote in St Albans on Saturday 1 December with 4 girlfriends. The service was the best I have experienced in a long time. The two waiters who served us were excellent. The food was very good and the ambience was just right. I will definitely return.

A very poor experience. Some of our meals had to go back as they were cold. Service was very slow and inattentive. However, we received a substantial discount on the bill by way of compensation.

Food and service was good for a brunch on 27th December. The ambiance was poor, draughty, we asked for the fan to be switched off. The noise from other customers was unacceptable. There needs to be consideration of the requirements of families with young children and how they differ from a table of 3 or 4 adults. I think is this is a regular experience at cote in st albans then I will be looking to eat else Where in the future.

Service was a bit slow. I had twice to chase. But food was very good and well priced. Maybe it was a Boxing Day effect.

Despite being very busy, the staff were attentive and pleasant. We were given a quiet table away from the larger parties but did not feel ignored at all. The food was delicious and courses were paced well for a relaxing dinner. We love this Cote and visit on a regular basis.

We always enjoy Cote at St Albans, staff are so helpful and polite and the food is superb. The menu is changed regularly and there is always something tempting to choose off of the special menu. It is our favourite restaurant!

Meal for 3 - starter each, main course and one dessert between the three o us. 85 GBP for the three. Service was very good, ambience also very good. Run on duck breasts but went or steak instead and that was also excellent. Booked for the 3 bu had 3 friends join us for drinks and this was no issue for the waiter. Definitely will go again.

Food is always good (especially the breakfast) but occasionally service can be a bit hit and miss. Always a bit cold so take an extra jumper!

We were a table of 7 people. The service was friendly and efficient, everything came as our pre-order and even having to remove one person an hour before we were due to arrive did not cause a problem. Food was good and everyone enjoyed the lunch.

Everything was very nice. Service was good and all the food was well cooked My main concern was that I thought the portions were small, particularly the fries and vegetables. My husbands rib eye was well cooked but also could have been larger.

Met 5 friends for a lovely brunch. Unexpectedly was seated at a round table which meant we could all talk easily. The food was delicious but could have been a bit warmer. It was very busy so we had a bit of a wait but the service as good and we really enjoyed our experience.

The environment was beautiful, the food exquisite and the service was welcoming and wonderful. We were also served with a free warm mulled apple cider as we booked through the Quandoo app too. We appreciated the delicious drink very much as it was freezing outside. My friend and I hadn’t seen each other for some time and we had a marvellous 2 hour lunch at the Côte Brasserie St. Albans.

The environment was special, the food delicious and the service outstanding. We enjoyed and appreciated a free warm apple cider on arrival as we used the Quandoo app to make our booking too. My friend and I spent two wonderful hours together having lunch yesterday. We think we’ll definitely go back there the next time we meet up.

Incredibly busy, sadly the staff weren’t able to cope, therefore It impacted on the service. Although previous visits have been far better, presumably because not so busy.

We had excellent service today, and the food was delicious, as it always is. The set lunch menu is very good value for money. The seating area is quite spacious so that you are not too close to the other tables. This is my favourite restaurant in St Albans.

We took my aged father to Cote in the High Street and it was up to its usual standard. He ordered the roast chicken which he likes but he didn't like the large amount of roast onion. Otherwise a very good experience.

Food was very good; service moderate; ambient noise appalling! I have had this experience (not being able to hear a word said by my companions) in other Cote restaurants. You have an urgent need to put down carpets or insert sine other sound-deadening device. The noise really ruins one's evening's enjoyment. Anne Wyburd
