My daughter and I enjoyed our lunch very much indeed - we were served well and promptly, despite the fact that we were at peak period, and many would-be diners were being turned away (nicely, I should add). The food was delicious, especially my daughter's creme brulee.

We went here with a friend for my birthday and wow did they treat me well Dan greeted us and then Lailai brought out some complimentary Kir Royales singing Happy Birthday which was so nice The meal was delicious and at the end Lailai brought us a chocolate pudding with a candle and another rendition of Happy Birthday - it was just lovely and then Dan came over to make sure everything was OK I cannot recommend this Cote enough- just a wonderful evening Dr Trevor P Rees

Warm welcome, friendly staff, food up-to the usual standard. Loved the table napkins, added some elegance to the evening much better than the standard paper ones at other venues

I was VERY disappointed in the bread, it was not warm or fresh enough. The bread is one of my favourite things at Cote, and I should have sent it back, but we had already eaten a piece each and so frankly were embarrassed to send it back. In addition I asked to upgrade the wine, which I have been allowed to do in other branches, they said 'no' and also didn't explain that the offer required one of us to order off the a la carte menu until after they'd both opened the wine and taken our order. They did accept it was their error but it was quite an embarrassment to have to have the discussion.

Nice atmosphere, good food but the waitress was a little TOO attentive - constantly asking if everything is ok when we were in conversation was interrupting and too much - you only need to ask once!

Staff were lovely but restaurant cannot provide nutritional info except allegens. As a T1 diabetic I need to know the carb and fat content. If the chef doesn’t know what’s in his food what kind of chef is he? It made me ill. Thanks won’t be bothering with this entire chain. Everyone else provides the info so why not this one?

We were greeted again with Smiles from all the staff and Dan made us particularly welcome and took time to come over and talk to us. It was also very noticeable that he made every guest very special and as we were sitting near to the door he made sure that anyone who entered was very welcome and there was never any wait to be seated Lailai also came to say hello and our delightful waitress ? Lauder from Hungary was excellent and was simply charming - a great evening

As ever, great food choices on the deals menu. St Paul's cote is the perfect location on a Saturday afternoon where there's enough atmosphere without feeling noisy and overcrowded. And as a result staff were friendly and attentive but without us feeling rushed.

Not enough staff on duty hence really poor service and long wait times. In this particular Cote, it is starting to look like a well worn formula that could do with fresh creativity and ideas.

Food was very good but service was poor. Firstly we were seated downstairs alone when there looked to be space upstairs and then the service was extremist slow. We kept having to reorder drinks that didn't show up and the bill took ages to come and pay. The restaurant wasn't even busy and there looked to be plenty of staff who did seem to be rushed off there feet so it was very odd.

Generally good, We enjoyed the lunch. It was better if I choose the ground floor table, because we can enjoy the outside view and believe much better than the table in the basement.

This is the latest of several visits to Cote at St Paul. It's normally good which is why we go back but today it was over an hour before food arrived and then chips were just warm as were the steaks. The manager helped by not charging us for the meals and so we will probably go back, hoping this was a blip but what was going on in the kitchen? I am booked in at Cote St Katherine Docks next week so I hope that is up to the usual standard.

Had a tuna Nicose salad for lunch and the food was very good, however, we waited nearly an hour for food which is too long for a business lunch. To his credit, the manager gave us a free round of drinks while we waited.

We had lunch in Cote. The manager Dan is very professional, customer focused and friendly as was our fabulous waiter. I had the Herb Roasted Chicken Supreme (herb roasted chicken supreme wrapped in French streaky bacon, served with Jerusalem artichokes and a creamy mustard sauce) and my colleagues both had the Fish Parmentier (Cod, haddock, prawn and salmon in a creamy white wine and leek sauce, topped with mash potato and Gruyère cheese) both meals were absolutely delicious and would highly recommend a visit to the St Paul's branch of Cote. 10/10 for both quality of food and service!

It was absolute adequate for a business lunch. Unfortunately we were advised incorrectly and ordered more sides than we needed to which was a shame. The calamari starter is huge!

I have been a fan of Cote for many years. The London Bridge branch superbly located on the banks of the Thames is virtually our firm, Anthony Gold's, office canteen. Cote is always reliable and good value. Staff friendly and helpful. St Pauls branch is just as good.

Great atmosphere - for meeting friends or a cosy meal 'a deux'. Friendly staff / good service. Excellent food with a decent wine list. We go there regularly after concerts at the Barbican, a short walk away, and have never been disappointed.

Must have been sat in the wrong place. Overall disappointed. Service was inattentive and sloppy. Seemed to wait an age for starters; when they did arrive they didn't arrive at the same time. Thought it would have been easy, the one we had to wait for was pate! Go figure. Water never arrived. Will not be going back in a hurray. Only good thing was the company I was with. Also tried to over charge me. Bad karma people. Shame.
