Good food, average service. Using twenty five words is unnecessary as one can easily sum up the service and food in a couple of words

Lovely food and friendly service as always. The service was quick and atmosphere was great - it never feels like you're in a chain restaurant.

Staff were very attentive and food was great too. We got there a bit late and were in a rush, staff understood and rushed our food out despite the restaurant being very busy.

We have used Cote in Brighton a number of times & have always enjoyed the whole experience. Most occasions it has been early evening, prior to the theatre or a concert, but this time it was lunch prior to the theatre. We have always let the restaurant know we need to be away by a certain time & they have always ensured we complete our meal in good time. We can't speak too highly of the staff & the overall service, would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food in a lively setting.

Dessert was really nice, even better than main course. Its better to go on week days, since they have lunch set and it will be much cheaper.

As always, great service and beautiful food. Not massive portions, just as it should be so you can enjoy a 3 course meal without feeling stuffed or guilty .

I was disappointed with our meal. I usually enjoy Cote, but both my starter and our mains were almost cold, and therefore unappetising. Hopefully they were just having an off day.

Fabulous meal as always. Great food, atmosphere and very friendly staff. It's our favourite family place to eat out. We tend to eat on the 3 course set menu which has a great choice of food to eat.

There was a good atmosphere and friendly service. The menu had good choices but we don't agree with the 12.5% service charge. 10% is usually the expected tip.

Cote is generally excellent value for money, with a decidedly European ambience. However, it can be variable. Yesterday was a less-good day. Perhaps because it was lunch-time?

We arrived on time and were shown to our table. Served straight away with drinks and our starter was served almost immediately. Unfortunately there was an incident in the kitchen with one of the main courses which ment we had a long wait for our main course and didn't have time for desert or coffee as we were due at the theatre. We use the restaurant regularly when we go to the theatre and the food is always of a high standard.

Eating here is always such a special experience. The food is amazing but it is the service that is really outstanding. You are welcomed as a valued customer and nothing is too much trouble. It's also brilliant value for money.

We went to the Cote in Brighton for the first time. The service was good. I ordered the chicken, walnut and advocado salad which was twice returned to me without the advocado. Eventually I did get the correct order after 20 minutes, with no dressing! The staff were kind but disorganised. I have had the same salad in Haywards Heath which was bigger and better all round. My friend also felt that her 1/2 chicken dish had been sitting on the side for some time, it was only tepid. Shame, we are both fans of Cote and hope this was a one off poor experience.

Great food and service, although it did take a bit of convincing to get our preferred table location. Air conditioning was blasting, so food quickly got cold, had to eat too fast.

This is the first time I have been disappointed with a meal at this restaurant. I had the Hachis Parmentair, with peas. Unfortunately I had to send it back because it was only warm & I had asked the waiter to make sure it was hot before he brought it to the table. I did not eat all of it a sit was quite dry & in the bottom of the dish at the sides it was black. It was a shame as we always enjoy the food at this restaurant.

The food was delicious as always and the service was great. My only gripe is that I dropped off a cake for my son for his birthday with 3 lots of chocolates and candles that i bought ( I did offer to decorate it myself) the cake came out without any of the extra's on it...and they were not offered to me!!!!! the staff then had to run around and find them.....disappointed with that. :(

we went for breakfast and I had smoked salmon and perfect scrambled eggs with chives. The restaurant was not full and the service was frindly and quick. I love this high ceilinged room and we come here regularly as it is generally a reliable standard of cooking and service.

We had booked and were seated in the area we asked for which was lovely. The waitress and manager (lady too) were very polite and efficient. The starter was served quickly as were the drinks and were delicious! We tried cod this time and it was very tasty and light. We then had apple tart desert with coffee, very good too! We managed to have an all around excellent meal all in time to enjoy the performance at the Theatre Royal afterwards. Very happy customers and we look forward to coming back soon :-) Thank you !

We had a great meal but initially all our meals - 2 steaks , 2 fish were served very cool. However, they took them back and served 4 fabulous plates of food with an additional couple of basic salads. Staff were fabulous.
