As always, the food and service were excellent. With the introduction of the 'Prestige' menu, there is now even more choice. Our waitress, Zeinab, was absolutely delightful.

The service was great as always although the food didn't seem quite up to scratch. The soup was cold, the salad forgotten and then when it arrived seemed to be something from the bottom of an out of date bag of leaves! The chicken was overcooked too. Not great. But the staff were friendly and it's normally good so we'll still be back.

This is the second time I've visited the restaurant and I wasn't disappointed, the restaurant was warm, clean and tidy and the staff were very wonderfully friendly. The food was as usual amazing, we went to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and we couldn't have picked a better place to go. I would like to thank everyone for making the night fantastic.

This was our first visit to Cote York and it was extremely enjoyable. The food was delicious, there was a good ambiance and we were especially fortunate to have Zeinah as our waitress. She was a delight! Attentive, warm and efficient. It makes such a difference to the overall experience. We will certainly return.

Jayne W.7 years ago · 1 review

We didn’t enjoy the experience at all - the whole place was rushed and the staff were darting about rushing people to move from course to course - I told the waitress not to bring the starters straight away as I could see what was happening - but they arrived while we were eating our bread and olives. If we had not taken our own time eating we would have been out in 30 minutes (which I suspect is the target turnover of the tables)

We could not fault the food, it was amazing! Quality, choice of ingredients, the way it was cooked and presented were second to none so congratulations to the Chef and to Cote! The staff was very customer focused and friendly. 4 stars instead of 5 due to three small issues. 1) On arrival, our Kir was so weak it could have been a glass of pale Rosé. It didn't look or taste like Kir. However, this was put right on the second one ordered by two of us and one was offered complimentary to one of my daughters whose 40th birthday it was so thank you. 2) Side dishes were ordered but not served. We had to chase them and by the time we got them, we nearly had finished our main dish. 3) My 9 year old fancied a little cucumber and tomato salad as a starter but she couldn't have it so had to have some glazed carrots instead as she doesn't like green leaves which your green salad is. I cannot understand what the problem was when your restaurant, like any others, have cucumber and tomatoes in the kitchen. Cote ticks many boxes except the one for flexibility, you are not as accommodating as other restaurants in your league which is a pity.

This particular branch of Cote LOOKS small from the outside, but don't be fooled, it goes back a LONG way and can happily seat at least 100 diners. As always, the set menu offers very good value and the staff are friendly, attentive and efficient. Perhaps because it is not in Central London (where the ones I normally visit are) and it was a fairly quiet, early mid week visit, or perhaps simply because "Northerners" are generally friendlier and warmer from the outset than "Southerners", we were made to feel like long lost friends rather than customers, even though this was actually our first visit. I would highly recommend it.

Our first time at Cote in York. Warm welcome on what was the coldest, wettest, windiest day of the year. We sat near the back of the restaurant, it felt warm and cosy. Attentive staff but not overbearing. Lovely meal especially my monkfish special - I always find their special fish dishes are always beautifully cooked. My daughter is coeliac and can depend on a nice safe meal at Cote - one of the reasons we visit regularly wherever we happen to be.

We visited on the evening of 3 February 2018. This was not our first visit as we were in York at the same time last year. The food was good as was the service, but the toilets were freezing cold this year as they were last year. The restaurant was also quite cool and as the evening progressed it got distinctly cooler. There was also an increasingly cold draught whenever any unfortunate diner had to visit the toilet .We mentioned this to the staff who agreed with us, but said the heating was on. Well it was not on high enough. Make sure you wrap up warm or your visit will be spoiled.
