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.
Excellent food in a nice atmosphere at a reasonable price
Always a great eating experience, staff are attentive and professional and venue is central. We were fortunate to be seated in the window so had Saturday evening entertainment too!!
Lovely food, especially the deserts and great service. All happy.
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.
Excellent service by friendly, responsive staff. Food tasty and of very good quality, portions of average size for set menus. A very good experience without being brilliant.
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and the food was delicious , but then we always do and it always is !!!
We were looked after very well and the food was great
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.
Gorgeous food as ever, Shame there was no fillet but still amazing!!!
Great service, nice staff and absolutely lovely food! We will be back and will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Thanks for a lovely afternoon
Unfortunatly no scallops left but otherwise excellent as always. The suggested wine match was superb.
We are regular visitors to Côte and enjoyed our evening. Service was good and friendly and the food consistent as usual. Our friends were impressed. We will be visiting again soon.
Great food beautifully presented, great team, excellent service, always made to feel welcome. We'll be back very shortly.
Very happy with experience, food, service, atmosphere all excellent. The staff made a effort with my 18 month old son which was appreciated. Thank you
Exceptional service, consistently great food within a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It’s always a pleasure to dine at our local York restaurant, and we do as often as we can!
Lovely family meal out. Good varied menu choice and good gluten free choice which was important to us. Great service and friendly staff. Nice buzzing atmosphere (Saturday). Would definitely go back.
A very enjoyable evening! Food excellent, as always. Waiter pleasant, polite and helpful. Would highly recommend Côte Brasserie for an evening of good food and atmosphere. Many thanks.
We went for my birthday we were not disappointed! Excellent meal as usual, the food was delicious, lovely friendly staff and beautiful G&T! Can highly recommend for lunch and dinner.
Second time here and food was delicious again. Waiters were very professional. Complimentary Kir Royale on arrival for our anniversary. Female Manager was patronising.
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.
Calamari over cooked and so was the fish pie? Not sure about returning
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
Lovely food, we were a party of 10 but everything arrived on time and everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was always pleasant and courteous. Great evening.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Giuseppe was the perfect host, attentive but not obtrusive. My first visit but I will come again next time I visit York.
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.
Went for the St Valentines special menu, there was a good choice and the quality of food was excellent. As good as Michelin but better value and good sized portions. The staff were very friendly and attentive; one of my favourite restaurants in York!
Always amazing! Special thanks to Jack - fabulous, professional waiter. Food as always first class. Loved the set menu tonight; great apple and blue cheese salad! Thank you!
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.
Excellent meal, I have coeliac disease and require gluten free diet, lots of choice, delicious food, very safe. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
A friendly and well organised staff. Food is excellent and a separate vegetarian menu is an added bonus. We really enjoyed our evening and will return.
Everything from the food to the service was excellent. Restaurant was packed & quite noisy but the staff were great . Will definitely be returning .
Great food and service as always . We had to move tables as there was a large VERY LOUD family party . Seems to be the norm now to completely ignore the other diners experience. Sadly Cote cannot be responsible for their diners bad manners .
WE ENJOYED THE MEAL - HOWEVER WE WAITED 50 MINUTES FOR OUR FOOD WHICH WAS QUITE A LONG TIME. OUR WAITER WAS HELPFUL AND POLITE. WE ALWAYS ENJOY OUR FOOD ..... PARTICULARLY THE CREME CARAMEL WHICH IS HARD TO RESIST.
The staff are very friendly. They played with the kids. Plenty to choose from on the menu. The service was quick but not overly fast. We will be back again!
Service was excellent and waiter helpful beautiful meal tender calamari as a starter and a juicy chicken main meal.Could not fault it and would definitely recommend to others.
Excellent food and exceptional service. Staff were extremely kind and made the visit thoroughly enjoyable. The menu was really varied and the quality of both our meals was excellent.
This restaurant is a firm favourite amongst our family. Excellent food and excellent service. The early bird menu never fails to offer interesting and tasty dishes.
Pleasant venue. Nice food but small portions on the set menu. Found the waiter very abrupt, impatient and distracted. Tables a bit too close. Thank you .
Always good. Clean, efficient, friendly and very tasty. Simple food , cooked well at a good price point. Thanks for getting us in and out quickly to get to the cinema on time!
Four of us dined here on a quiet Sunday evening - all food was beautifully cooked and presented with excellent service. Thank you Cote York - we will definitely be back.
Super lunch, lovely girl looked after us well (student studying fine art). Wonderful calamari, succulent swordfish and the best praline crepe ever. Love Cote. Will return soon.
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
Authentic French setting with a warm welcoming atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Service is very good and the quality of the food is excellent. A real pleasure to eat there.
We go to Cote at least once a week and we would not if we didn't like it
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.
Fab food, we all selected the lunchtime special menu and were very happy with our choices. Mussels and ribeye steak for a £2.50 extra charge - Staff were super!
