Excellent and attentive service. Good menu choice. A couple of our friends who dine on a Sunday lunchtime as we do appear to be offered a "freebe" ( ice cream or desert wine etc ) every occasion but we never get the offer!!!

The great thing about Côte is that it works well for an inexpensive lunch or early evening meal and also for something much more special, as in this case, where both food and wine menus provide plenty of choice and the food actually tastes great.

Nice table service was impeccable. Ate from the early menu so obviously choice was limited the variety ensured that we both found something we could enjoy. Could do with a little more choice and imagination re beers.

My Coq au Vin was pretty ordinary and my partner's steak was not to the usual standard. Service was good but the staff have little idea where to place glasses on the table.

Cote is always consistently good value for money with well presented food and a buoyant atmosphere. The friendly well-trained attentive staff never hurry you. Comfortable seating and decor, too.

It was Monday lunchtime, and pretty quiet, so although we had booked a table it wasn't really necessary on this particular day. We ordered from the special lunch menu, and it was excellent - starters and mains just the right size so we all wanted desserts, which were also excellent (the best creme caramel I have ever had! )

it was a good meal and we were quite well looked after. Not keen on the automatic 12.5% service charge. I would prefer to reward according to experience and not to Cote company policy

Our meal was very pleasant, well presented and hot. Our waiter was as attentive as it was possible. However, I feel he had too many tables to manage them to the best of his ability.

Meal was excellent and service overall was good. However when we asked for some extra bread to have with a starter the plates arrived and no bread. Apparently the waiter thought we asked for extra plates! Service always seems to slow down when it comes to deserts and coffee which is worrying when you are on your way to see a show.

Great lunch. Food was good as always. Vegan option was a lovely risotto, which was tasty. The chocolate mouse is to fantastic. The restaurant was busy as it was a Saturday lunch so service wan't as good as it usually is but everything was fine. The atmosphere was lively but not so good if you want a quiet meal for two.

Lynne C.7 years ago · 2 reviews

As ever, lovely welcome, ambience and service but really felt the food was lacking this time. Most unusual, but it was luke warm, not well presented and unappetising (particularly the chicken dish that I and three other friends ordered). I should have said something at the time, but it was my Birthday lunch with six of us in total and didn’t want to disrupt the occasion, as the other girls were happy to eat their mains. Starters, drinks, and all other aspects were fine, but I wouldn’t have let those plates leave the kitchen. Has rather put me off.

Louise T.7 years ago · 6 reviews

The cuisine is consistently good, and reliable. The staff are charming and helpful and the service is good. The decor makes one feel that one is in a French bistro in the Boulevard de Montmartre but the only drawback is the noise level because of all the hard surfaces so not so suitable for an intimate dîner à deux. But it is our go-to restaurant in Brighton.

Excellent food and service as usual. It was a busy Sunday lunch time but service was quick and friendly. I do feel that Brighton just about shades it as the best cotes in sussex
