As always, the food was excellent. This time it was exceptionally busy, which meant waiting rather longer than usual for the food to arrive. But overall: fine!

The venue is very noisy. The food and service were good and the wine very nice. But it was difficult to hear the person sitting beside you let alone across the table!

Good food and friendly service, somewhat marred by a long delay between our first and main courses. The waitress had to be alerted to this and then went away, presumably to ring the kitchen. Fortunately, we had allowed enough time before our Festival event and we limited ourselves to coffee and no dessert.

The Food was lovely. The Service was good and the Staff were efficient. The Toilets could do with a revamp and let the whole experience down.

Excellent waitress on a busy evening. Loved our chicken and mushrooms and steak frites. Lalande red wine very acceptable . I love the fact that Cote is so reliably good.

Utterly dependable. The menu, nevertheless, doesn't seem to change as often as it used to. Moreover, they used to push 2 tables for 2 together in the window for a party of 4 which no longer seems to be the case.

Very disappointing meal. Restaurant was so noisy with staff crashing and bashing plates and dropping trays. Food disappointing too. We have eaten at Cote in London many many times but this was inferior. Pissaladiere was not up to the usual standard and reblochon too thin. More like a cheap pizza! Chicken was overcooked and peppercorn sauce thin, watery and tasteless. Spinach tasteless. Took guests who had not eaten at Cotre before, who were equally unimpressed. Spoke to the manager and waitress about the noise before we left but no solution offered.

We had an enjoyable lunch and the complimentary kir royale for my wife's birthday was very good, the choice of food on the set menu was a bit limited, I ordered the steak frites and was asked if I wanted any sauces and I requested mustard and ketchup , my sauces were never served with the meal which I did comment on, our server did offer us a complimentary hot drink but the service was not as good as we had expected.

Sadly my experience of this branch of Cote was not good. I booked a table for 2 pm when we arrived we were shown to out table, The waiter took our order, after about 30 minutes a waitress appeared and said there was a problem with the computer and asked what we had ordered. when our starters arrived the salad in them was not properly washed and tasted of grit and sand these were replaced but were still not of the usual standard offered by Cote. The main course arrived and the chicken was overcooked and dry, all in this is the worst meal I have had at a branch of Cote

We had a very pleasant pre theatre meal, excellent food and service. We particularly like the Brighton Cote because it doesn't feel like a 'chain'. We will come again some as it was excellent value.

This is my favourite Cote restaurant. A lovely atmosphere (not too noisy) and superb service. The standard and variety of food is second to none for the price charged so in summary I can highly recommend Cote in Brighton.

On my last visit someone didn't have their eye on the ball !! We had not finished our starter when the main course was brought to the table,! It was then taken away until we had, so no kind of breather between courses, as we were having a glass of white wine with a fish starter we did not have time to savour the wine. We had ordered minute steak - which is flash fried and served pink. Ours was taken away and put under a heat lamp or in a holding oven - it came back with a red hot plate and over cooked steak. My companion has been having a very stressful time so I did not want to make a big thing about it at the time, The restaurant was not busy so the kitchen can not have been over taxed. The total bill was £82.00 which on this occasion I felt was very poor value

This is Mums favourite restaurant and they have never yet let us down. She has a very restricted diet and can be a challenge sometimes but they always come up trumps. She has now been diagnosed with dementia so I will bring her out for a meal whenever I can for as long as she is able. Thanks again.

Great service & food. We ate from the higher priced set menu & felt the choices & food we’re definitely worth paying the extra. Great seafood linguine.
