Good service despite a very busy restaurant. Meals from early evening menu were delicious. Disappointed that Apple crumble has been moved to a premium set menu.

Lovely food and nice staff although I was brought a different drink that id originally asked for. Also I would have liked to have had the choice of leaving a tip rather than it be already on my bill.

Good food but long wait due to ‘kitchen incident’. Very pleased to have a free bottle of wine after signing up for their newsletter (complementary olives given). Nice atmosphere in restaurant; will certainly go again.

We have been dining at Cote and find it is consistently excellent. One of our main problems is deciding what to choose as most dishes appeal. Subtle menu changes keep us coming back for more.

The celeriac purree was in fact mashed potato! Otherwise the meal was delicious: very nice fillet steak and porcini sauce. What a shame about the purree!

We had a fantastic night out here to celebrate a birthday! The meals were absolutely fabulous, especially the moules!! We all had them! The fish was brilliant and beautifully cooked ...to perfection! We had a bottle of wine with the meal and liqueur coffees to finish! Brilliant night! Our waitress was so helpful and attentive, even though they were very busy on a Friday night! We love coming here and will definitely return soon! Well done!

Not as good as previous visit about 6 weeks ago. Variations in culinary expertise, not as good this time. No bread with the starters. Lunch/early evening menu has been split into 2 price ranges, making it not as appealing. Less choice, was hard to choose something. Vegetarian option sounded dull (though we were not vegetarian and didn't try it) Service from waiters was ok. Alarm went off during service for around 30 seconds, and no members of staff announced what the problem was so diners (including us) were left unaware as to whether there was a fire or smoke emergency. That should have happened but staff kept it to themselves. We both had mussels to start and these were tiny, very tiny but tasty, again no bread with the starter! Why!? The main was minute steak and it was a bit grisly and over seasoned. Fries were nice, as was spinach. Service was quick and suitable for business lunch. I brought a friend for lunch today based on a positive experience with a larger group a few weeks ago. I will not be rushing back...York has an abundance of choice and I really think they have got to be consistent and do well what they do, rather than just (as it seemed today) try to grab the Easter business from Tourists without any consideration of return visits. There were only a few diners in there today, so keep the ones that live locally and will return if the standards and prices are maintained.

Disappointed with bill mix-up. Waiter angry with us but his fault. Wine list over-rated and over-priced. Will be considerable time before re-visit if ever. Sorry!

Our first visit to York Cote easily lived up to the high standard we have found in all other Cotes we have visited. It was a cold evening-but we were immediately looked after by Sam and made to feel welcome. The set menu is still our favourite but we were interested to hear about the new set menu that was being trialled in Cote.

I cannot fault anything. The staff were welcoming,helpful, and attentive without being fussy. I needed a gluten-free menu and the choice was superb - most of what was on the main menu was suitable. The food was divine. We borg enjoyed every mouthful. The chicken that I had was very tasty. And the creme brûlée was the best that I’d ever had. Highly recommend

Overall it was an excellent lunch enjoyed by both my mother and me. The staff were very good, friendly and attentive. Food was very good, although my mum found the confit duck a little dry. This is the second time we’ve been to York and would recommend. I would recommend cote any where. I’ve been to Harrogate, Brighton, Exeter and London all have great staff and good affordable food.
