Food was good as usual however service was very slow. The manageress said that they had 40 people booked in & ended up catering for 120. She apologised profusely for delay and offered the party a complementary drink. Cote are very good at resolving such issues and I would not hesitate to go back. One of my favourite restaurants.

The food and service was excellent as usual. We chose to sit outside, where we found pigeons wandering around. Not very hygienic but I suppose the only way to keep them out is to put a roof on that area

Very good service and tasty food - some portions on the fixed price early evening menu are rather small. Still a regular customer at two locations!

Nice evening out but not ken on the 12.5% service charge! I think service should be entirely optional. Service was OK but not at the level that demands a 12.5% contribution to staff costs!

Generally good but slightly spoiled by the fact that my cod was over cooked. To be fair I was offered a replacement but I was with a friend and the wait would have disrupted the whole meal. If I’d been on my own I would have accepted. A shame that the normally high standards weren’t achieved on this occasion.

I thought the service was poor, waited a long time for main course. Food quality: starter good, main was seafood linguine, lacked fish. Côte is usually better than this?

Typically relaxed atmosphere, great service and food from the Cote Brighton team. Our full breakfasts (Formule) were enjoyed by all. The only mild quibble of one in our party was that the eggs were under-cooked. Nevertheless we're all looking forward to our next visit!

The food as always with Cote was dependably well-cooked and flavoursome. However, the service, while friendly, was amateurish (no comparison to the Ivy) and hindered by the staff's limited English.

we had 2, 3 course meals and chose from the a la Carte, delicious, although the minute steak was tough. The service was good, and the cost reasonable, although the price of wine by the glass a bit toppy The building and dining room is fantastic in a great location

Lovely staff, and a lively ambience. The maître de greeted us with real friendliness, and ensured we had the right table for our needs. Very good wine, and the desert was sublime. Our entrée was delicious, but could have been sliced a little more finely. Our main dishes had petit pois as a major component instead of the broad beans and artichokes as defined in the menu, but very tasty for all that.

Excellent service as always, confusion over free bottle of wine from Cote Rewards at first, which though clarified, then was added to the bill and had to be taken off! Calamari and crème caramel superb! Goat cheese salad was very salty and message was sent to the chef. This was taken off the bill at the end as I couldn't eat it.
