Good but could be better. Too many staff talking to each other rather than the customer. 6 staff and 4 customers we’re present. Also I don’t like the 12.5 tip. I hate it!

Lovely food - chef catered to my dietary needs - ketogenic way of eating - with no problems. I am happy to highly recommend this restaurant and all the staff who work there. Thank you for a lovely meal which was well prepared and well presented in a friendly but professional manner.

We had a very nice lunch, the only drawback was the fact that the drink offer was only available if you had a Main from the menu. My friends like a starter and a main, this is too much for me so I normally have a starter followed by a starter. This barred m e from the offer. Strangely if I had just had a Main or Light Main without a Starter I would have qualified, even though this would have been cheaper than my two starters! As my friends had cards which qualified us for a free drink, with or without a Main, we used that optio, and I had my Starter followed by another Starter. Perhaps you would would look into this for future monthly offers.

Both my husband and myself enjoyed our meals. The only negative was the asparagus on my meal accompanying the lamb . Some people might not see this as a negative but I thought the time between courses was a bit too fast . If we had been given a little more time we probably would have had a pudding.

This was our first visit to this particular Cote Brasserie - so we thought we knew what to expect. There were insufficient staff and the service was slow, although the staff appeared to be hard pressed. Having booked for four people to dine at mid-day we did not expect this - the restaurant was quiet when we arrived but filled up soon after. A tonic water had to be asked for as the wine had arrived but not the tonic. When it arrived there was ice in it although ice had been declined when the order was placed. The wine bottle was placed in a cooler nearby but we had to retrieve it ourselves as nobody came to offer any top ups. The food, as usual, was of good quality. It was a pity that the service standard fell short of other Cote Brasseries that we have used. I did comment on this and was advised that they had not expected the numbers (half term maybe) and had no bookings - although we had, indeed, booked.

Staff helpful and attentive. But several dishes on the set menu were sold out. My mussels were basically inedible- cracked shells or unopened. Lardons rock hard. I told the waiter who said he would mention it. But heard nothing more. Really not good enough- potentially dangerous to eat. Coffee extremely bitter - I like strong but this was unpleasant. Booked for dinner with senior colleagues- won’t be back

This was our second visit to a 'Cote Brasserie', the first being in Covent Garden. We had a very enjoyable meal in London and our experience in York was also excellent. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the menu gave a very varied choice. The meal was excellent and red wine superb. We will most certainly go again.

A bit lacking in atmosphere compared to normal. Wasn't keen on the poussin, a bit too highly flavoured due to the marinade, however this is a personal view. Cornish new potatoes a bit 'al dente' which in my view doesn't work with potatoes. Overall a good meal but not up to the usual high standard set at this restaurant. My two companions enjoyed their meals. The cocktails and the wine were excellent.

Ate ar Cote 30 May. Really good meal. Scallops were tender and juicy. Main course of salmon very good, cooked to perfection. No room for dessert unlike my wife who managed the creme brulee. She even threatened to lick the plate.

We were very well looked after, following an awful 8 hour road journey to York. Our wonderful meal transformed our day, the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. A lovely welcome to York with the reassurance of being able to feed our Coeliac children in a place that understands a gluten free diet! Thank you Cote Brasserie York!

Everything was lovely apart from our waitress. We was greeted by a lovely waiter, who made us feel really good, he asked if we’d had a good day, we told him it was our wedding anniversary, he spoke to us for a bit, then left us to look at the menu. Then a lovely waitress took our drinks order, she spoke to my wife about the wines, she really knew what she was talking about. Then we had a different waitress who was with us for the rest of the evening! Well she was very rude, made us feel very uncomfortable and she was the one who ruined our time there, to the point she basically told me I hadn’t ordered the creamy spinach because inquired as to where it was, after checking she said ‘oh you was right’ no apology. She rushed us even though the restaurant was pretty empty. If we hadn’t of ended up with this waitress we would have given 6 stars thankfully we was on our weekend away so won’t be going back to that restaurant. But we will try another one nearer to our home, hopefully we won’t have the same experience.

As ever a great meal and evening at Cote York. The other restaurants just don't come close to this one. We were shown to the table of our choice, presented with complimentary Kir Royale and made to feel at home straight away. Genuinely attentive waiters who care about the customer experience and faultless food. I can't recommend Cote enough. Karen Clegg

Very nice staff. Too many choices and pricing levels. It gets confusing when there are 4 people trying to talk, and choose from 3 menu options. Remember coming to Cote a few years ago and the choice was more straightforward - basically eat the £10 lunch or choose from the regular menu. Having said all that, our friends were impressed and the food we chose was delicious. Once again, staff we attentive, efficient and friendly.
