Côte St Albans

Food wasn’t hot enough. Staff forgot to bring us some food that we had ordered and some sauces; when we reminded a waitress about it she said she finished her shift but will tell someone to help us out. We had two kids with us and at no point a staff member offered to provide an activity book (it was only brought to our table when we asked for it). Overall, not the best experience.

Superb breakfast well cooked and presented . Service attentive overall excellent .

Food was delicious but service was very hit and miss. We either had no service for ages or s constant stream of people. Would definitely return despite this little hiccup!

The fish stew was amazing - a real French taste to it which was a real treat given we have not been able to go back to the French sea side for so long...

Had lovely meal yesterday afternoon was very tasty food definitely worth going again and very friendly service and nicely spaced out. Thanks Alison

Our table was right in the middle of the restaurant, it was very small. The restaurant was extremely loud, so the meal wasn’t very enjoyable

Love our local Cote in St Albans. Food is always excellent and can’t fault the service.

ambience is everything in a restaurant and Cote St. albans has it

Lovely evening. Felt very safe although maybe you should take people’s temperature on arrival. Great to see that you have a gluten free menu. Staff were good too.

Excellent service & great food as usual. The restaurant had tables well distanced from each other. All round lovely evening, just what we needed!

Lunch for 4 - we all enjoyed our food very much. Attentive staff, but not irritating, no hustling you out like some venues in these strange times.

Always consistently delightful food. Service great in these testing times. You should feel proud of yourselves.

Friendly service good food We enjoyed our meal after working the antique market all day

As per usual, we had a very enjoyable evening at Cote (this time at the St albans restaurant), with several dishes particularly memorable (incl the crepe grand marnier - which four out of the five of us had and which we all rated as excellent). However, there were a couple of missteps, which is unusual for Cote, principally related to the lack of figs in any of the specials (the promise of figs in several dishes was highlighted in their advertising that I received for Oct and so, as a fig lover, I was particularly disappointed). The Dubonnet aux Figues cocktail was actually devoid of them, with dried rose petals floating on top instead (we were not warned about this before they were brought to the table and we had to use our forks to sweep it to one side). The cocktail was overly sweet and seemingly lacking much alcohol at all (it should have included gin as well). The pork tenderloin, which should also have had figs, did not and mashed potato was substituted - tho the dish worked very well and was most enjoyable. These relatively minor quibbles, however, did not detract overly from what was still a very good meal for the five of us.

Lovely as always! Good food, great service. Will be back

Fantastic, lovely brunch with equally lovely service 😁 I would come again!

Gorgeous food! Friendly service. Lovely atmosphere. Really good coffee. Recommended

Had a lovely breakfast yet again,great service and quality, highly recommend for a Brunch treat.

Excellent experience! Chateaubriand was superb.Service was excellent for an extremely busy night.

Booked quite late for lunch the whole team couldn't have been more accommodating. Service was excellent as was the food. We felt very safe in these worrying times, Thank you.

Great service from our waitress and lovely food! Felt very safe and comfortable and all staff kept their distance and masks were worn! Would 100% return!

Very enjoyable Saturday lunch - great care taken with layout and service, everything delicious, autumn specials Give seasonal cheer.

Lovely breakfast. Really fast service and attentive staff. Food really good quality

Lovely birthday meal with family, usual Cote ambience not unduly affected by Covid measures - but they were in place and felt safe and secure. Food excellent as always and service very efficient and unobtrusive.

Thank you My friend and I had a lovely lunch of mussels. The service was very good. I will book again soon Kind regards Madeline Kay Skinner

The food was great and the service excellent. Staff very polite and helpful.

As always polite and helpful staff, simple but tasty food. One of our favourite places!

Very friendly and prompt service. Very covid safe. Food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced.Nice presentation. Restaurant was a bit chilly.

Lovely food nice ambiance & good service. Would highly recommend.

The staff were very professional and I felt safe. The food was of top quality. I shared a steak with my partner that was perfectly cooked. My only suggestion would be to have maybe more cocktail options and soft drinks on tap.

Good food in relaxed atmosphere, as always. very busy but service still good.

The service was very bad. We had to wait ages for someone to come serve us. And then when we had our food, we couldn’t find our waitress at all. When we finally got her to bring over the card machine (by getting up to find someone to help us!), she was rude. I wouldn’t want such staff working for my establishment whatsoever.

Yet another superb dining experience. The staff were efficient, attentive, polite and very pleasant. The food was up to its usual excellent standard. Well presented, delicious and good sized portions. Overall, a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience.

The staff were on point and friendly. Beautiful food , stunning location. Thank you for a lovely meal experience.

Incredibly slow service and took 50 minutes for our meals to arrive. Service was added on when we asked to have it removed.

Fantastic customer service and delicious food as always. My favourite place to go in St Albans.

Excellent meal, great service it was nice to be out 😊

Good food, great service. Nice atmosphere. A bit noisy this time though.

A really enjoyable lunch, as ever. Great food, great cocktails and relaxing atmosphere.

Very good service and excellent food, good value for money

Delicious food as always & excellent service. Covid secure & safe

Delicious food, lovely staff. Coming every week, and will recommend to everyone.

Great food, lovely staff. My husband stole my ice cream biscuit as a joke, and the waitress brought him one of his own.

Excellent food and service. We had breakfast which was well cooked as usual

Very impressed with new children’s menu - especially calamari and steak and chocolate pot. Waiter was excellent (unfortunately didn’t get his name but we were at front of restaurant near window). Lovely bottle of fleurie as well. Been to cote lots of times before and even more impressed than normal - well done!

Delicious food, friendly and efficient service. Birthday treat - we love Cote!

Very pleasant experience. Food as always was good. If I had anything to criticise it would that the restaurant was quite cold and draughty.

Lovely meal, good atmosphere and welcoming staff working in a difficult environment. Very good value for money.

We enjoy Cote because the food maintains a high standard, service is first class and the price represents good value.

The service was fast efficient and soulless, there was no atmosphere and felt more like a quick bight in a fast food place. Wont go back for a while.
