A most pleasant experience for my friend and I. Friendly, efficient staff, good varied menu and the food was excellent. Pleasant surroundings and not too noisy, unlike so many restaurants!

Sunday evening for dinner, no complaints, food was good as was the service. If I had one complaint it would be the hostess or manager, all the staff looked smart while she looked as if she had just got out of bed.

Visited the St Albans restaurant for pre theatre dinner. The food was good quality and good value for money. The service was excellent and the surroundings very relaxing. We also got free Kir Royales with our theatre tickets which were very welcome.

Very pleasant birthday meal for my wife. Food was delicious and the boeuf bourgignon I had was very filling. Lovely creamy mash. Service was quick and they gave us complimentary fizz😊. Wife loves the place. Will come again

My wife and I had an excellent meal with three friends on a Saturday evening - good food, wine and very attentive service from the friendly staff. The Cote is one of our favourite restaurants in St Albans - lively atmosphere and high quality food at reasonable prices.

The service was great, the waitresses knew when to be attentive and when to leave you be. The atmosphere was lay back and enjoyable. The menu had enough choice and all the food was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend.

What a great meal in a cosy environment. The food is always tasty at Cote and combining that with the 3 course set menu for £13.50 you can’t really argue!

Overall - very good - but we booked the table for 19:00 and I felt that we were rushed out to make way for the 20:00 diners. May be wrong but that's how my wife and I felt - it was our 29th wedding anniversary and we wanted to enjoy the evening in a leisurely manner.

No complaints on the food itself, it was amazing and will definitely go again. The level of customer service from our waitress was pretty poor though, she seemed very stressed and rushed and I definitely felt like I was a burden on her rather than being made to feel welcome.

Not the best experience which is a real shame as we generally love Cote. We had an American visitor with us and we had hoped to “show off” Cote in its best light. We were right at the back of the restaurant and asked to be moved as the banquette seating was wobbling beyond belief. We were then put on the next table (again - right at the back of the restaurant) but now beside a leak which was emanating from the ceiling - very unnerving ! Just terrible overall

Speed, efficiency, politeness, atmosphere and of course the food - 1st rate as ever. compared to many 'higher value' restaurants in St. Albans - Côte Brasserie manages to keep the bar quite high.

I’ve always liked Côte as it delivers beautiful food, atmospheric environment, all at democratic prices. My rate is low this time because the waitress (although lovely, helpful and friendly) tried to overcharge us by entering the wrong amount (£20 more) into the card machine. I’d like to think this was a genuine mistake rather then intention but it did spoil the experience significantly.

We booked ahead for 2.15pm and ate as a group of 4 adults..............our treat to excellent friends who do a lot to help others, including us! We all really enjoyed the food and felt is was good value for money. Service was a little mixed this time but overall acceptable. I would like to be able to nominate a place/area to sit when I book as we were right at the back of the restaurant.
