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.

Lovely food and attentive service however the soup turned up with garlic mayo instead of croutons and the veg accompanying the duck was very sparse.

A beautiful building right opposite The Dome, so perfect for pre-gig dinner, as in our case. Divine steak, beautifully cooked & a good bottle of red. Friendly & helpful staff. Would recommend.

Great restaurant in relation to the building and decor - truly so. The food is good - although the mussels were gritty.. The food is worth the price usually apart from that hiccup, especially with the lunch deal

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.

Service and food was excellent. The tables are too close together, it's uncomfortable when hearing others conversation next to you and tricky chatting with strangers on your shoulder. Definitely would return but would rather sit at s different table. The set menu is excellent value. Very noisy restaurant. Staff fabulous.

Our French waitress was excellent and really charming. The food was delicious and we loved being able to enjoy the sunshine outside. I think the wine is too expensive though.

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 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.

Good experience, good food, plenty of it, well cooked, mostly well and rapidly served (there was a slight hiccup somewhere along the line but nothing serious, I can't remember what it was, maybe we had to remind someone that we'd ordered coffee?? - but it was nothing). We were four and had the pre-theatre menu at 5pm on Friday. The bill was just less than £100 inc. the service charge, and everyone had three courses and coffee and we had a bottle of wine (your Viognier - which is good!). As we learnt when we lived in France, the crucial equation is 'le rapport entre la qualité et le prix' - and, in our opinion, this was (again as they say in France) 'correcte' (100%). In general, we find Côte, Brighton, very reliable on this score.

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.

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 lovely meal in the upstairs part of the restaurant. One of our main courses was wrong but the waiter ordered the right dish straightaway and took the dish from the bill. Although the restaurant was busy there was no attempt to get us to leave.

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.

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. :(

Although quite noisy when we arrived as there was a large party of over 20 people seated near to us, there was a good atmosphere, good service and good food.
