It was the first time we had visited the York Cote restaurant. It was every bit as good as our previous visits to the Cote restaurant at Tower bridge. The food was excellent as was the service.

Delicious food, good service despite restaurant being very busy. We enjoyed the steak frites, creme caramel and tarte aux pommels. Dining early is a real bargain and very convenient before a concert.

Pleasant meal and efficient service, but the York restaurant does not have the same ambience as some of the other Cotes we have tried in Windsor, Clifton, Winchester and Oxford. The frontage is quite narrow and the restaurant extends a long way back. Nevertheless, it is in a very convenient position close to the Minster.

Always excellent service and lovely food. Having worked in restaurants for many years, I find service in York is generally poor in restaurants. Staff not on the ball, messy tables, waiting to long to order first drinks etc but Côte is always spot on!

My mum was taken Ill during our visit to York Cote - nothing to do with the food. The staff were wonderful. My daughter went to get the car before she could have her "looked forward to" choc pot - they let us take it with us as a takeaway to return the pot when we can. Meal was great as always but service and kindness exemplary. Thank you.

We regularly visit York Cote and find it a very enjoyable experience. The food is good and reasonably priced (especially the set meals). The menu is good and changes monthly. The staff are all friendly and efficient.

Excellent food, friendly service and great ambiance. We were a party of 5 who took ages to order (talking too much and not studying the menu), and were almost the last to leave. We didn’t feel rushed at all at any point. Yes, Côte is a chain - but when the food is consistently this good, does that really matter?

Great food, great service. We use Côte restaurants a lot, and I would definitely say that the York one is just about the best. Sometimes there is pressure to turn tables too quickly, but not at the in York.

Great service and good quality food too. Whilst I don't mind paying the 12.5% service charge, I don't agree that it's automatically added to your bill, no matter if you're told that it's optional. This reminded me why I haven't been for over 2 years. I think it's just a bit off putting and awkward when it's time to pay the bill.

It was just a quick lunch with one course and a drink so we didn't have the full experience. Very clean, bright, spacious. We enjoyed our food. Staff were attentive but it was not a particularly busy day.

The food was excellent as always, the only problem we felt like we were living in North America as the amount of time we were asked how our food was, first time we had hardly had a mouthful so did not know how it was, then one time when my husband had just put a mouthful of food into his mouth so could not answer, on the 3rd time, we did ask why do we have to be asked so many time? he said " well how do we know if everything is ok" All we have to do is tell our server. In Europe they NEVER ask, as know the food is good and should be good. 3 times was very annoying, if it continues we may not return even though we love the restaurant.

Unfortunately far too noisy. There were a couple of very loud and boisterous groups near our table. We had to stop talking ourselves several times because it was impossible to hear anything but the loud other table groups.

The dinner was part of my birthday celebrations and I choose Cote from experience. The meal was OK, but lacked something and was not up to the usual standard. wine OK and service lacking bit of spark. Still worth a recommendation but only just, needs to regain its mojo.

Usual high standard. Vibrant restaurant, a little louder than other we have visited due to the shape and ceiling height of rear space. Well located by the Minster.

Lovely food at a very reasonable price and excellent service. I was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen for some time and there was absolutely no feeling of having leave. We finished the meal and kept chatting for some considerable time. Would highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant. We had the 'early bird' menu before going to a gig and were really happy with the quality and price. The restaurant was pretty much full but there were plenty of staff on hand and the service was very good. I would definitely eat there again.
