Not quite as good as usual. Waitress perhaps new - needs some polish and further instruction. Food good. Kir Royale very pale ..clearly more sparkling wine than Kir. Bit nondescript

Great food. Amazing people and service second to none. We are regular customers but always made to feel special. Jules is a fantastic general manager who leads a great team. Thank you today in particular to Nathan and Liam for looking after us. 😆

My wife and I spent a pleasant stay in Brighton . We chose to eat at Cote because of previous visits to the chain in Cheltenham and Windsor. Excellent choice of menu and prompt and friendly staff. We will certainly go back when next in Brighton.

We ate off the early dining menu which was fine and tasty, with a French flair. The pinot noir wine was excellent if a bit pricey. The restaurant was busy and noisy but that added to the atmosphere.

FOOD AND SERVICE VERY GOOD, BUT EXCEPTIONALY EXPENSIVE, ALL MY PARTY WERE SURPRISED THAT LISTED DISHES WERE NOT COMPLETE, BUT WERE SUBJECT TO CHARGES FOR SIDE DISHES!!!!. I ALSO OBJECT TO A GRATUITY ,EVEN OPTIONAL, BEING ADDED TO THE BILL, AS THIS IMPLIES THAT IF THE SERVICE WARRANTED ONE, THAT I WOULD NOT GIVE ONE TO THE SERVER WHO EARNED IT!!!! ON THIS SUBJECT , THE ADDED GRATUITY ON MY BILL, WHICH I DID PAY, WAS EXORBITANT, BEING IN EXCESS OF 10%, ON TOP OF AN ALREADY EXCESSIVE FOOD CHARGE !!!! TED H.

I go to the restaurant quite often. Always enjoy the experience...good food ..good service. Sometimes quite noisy but no fault of the restaurant.. It's because it's popular. Perhaps they shouldn't automatically include the tip in the bill.!!.

The food is good as usual. The service is friendly and promptly. We always have a very good experience of dinning at Cote. Three quality dishes for lunch under £14 is a steal.

Table was lovely right by the window. Whilst food was hot and tasty and service polite a lack of personality prevented ambiance to match the lovely interior. There was a delay in drink order at the start.

Had the set menu as usual, seemed a little more choice and tried something apart from the steak frite, which I usually have. Very pleased as the chorizo sausage with lentils was excellent. All good, although one of the waiters seemed a little bit 'absent'...maybe she was new.

First time here and will definitely be going again. A table by the window became available as we entered and was swiftly cleared and reset for us. Food was lovely. The only downside, a only a small one, was whilst the waitress was extremely efficient she struggled to crack a smile which was a shame. All in all though, a very pleasant experience.

Côte has consistently good bistro food and offers it at a very attractive price point. It's not Brasserie Flo, but neither are the prices. I've always been impressed and visit Côte in Brighton whenever it makes sense. (I've never been to any other branch - and feel that one of its qualities is that there is no sense of eating in a chain restaurant.) The first time I came was 2-3 dats after the branch opened, together with several colleagues - one of whom is a former district manager for Café Rouge. We were knocked out by the interior, the food and the attentive service from staff who were clearly well trained. And that's a positive review not just from my but also from a professional in the field who has run one of Côte's competitors. But this time, while the food and atmosphere was unchanged, the service was inattentive and the bar staff seemed to prioritise chatting over serving beverages- I had to work quite hard to get attention; my Ricard took almost a quarter of an hour to arrive. I'll leave it to the management to figure out whether they have demotivated the staff or whether the training needs a tweak - but in the context of what Côte CAN do, this was disappointing.

Negatives - food was lukewarm. Appalling rude and arrogant service from a member of kitchen staff resulting in us complaining. Positives- after the complaint we received new, piping hot, tasty food, excellent service from waiters and the supervisor and all at no charge.

What a wonderful restaurant, the food was excellent and the service brilliant. Although it was a Friday night and the restaurant was very busy we were shown to our seats and chatted to as if we were regulars. The staff are very attentive but not overbearing. What can I say about the food, so much choice, and beautifully presented. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Everything was just OK. The portions are small and I think the 12.5% service charge is over the top as our group had 4 bottles of wine and this is also charged at 12.5%.
