A bit slow in serving food after we've ordered (about 30 minutes) but otherwise no complaints. Great venue (upstairs is preferable to downstairs, but that's my taste) and very nice staff: Polite, professional and a good sense of humour even in a busy pre-Christmas environment. And yes: we will go back!!!

The food at Côte is always reliable and our latest visit was no exception – my chicken main course could have been hotter but it wasn't bad enough to send back. It was obviously a very busy, pre-Christmas night but service was very good. I just wish they could have quietened down the extremely noisy table not far from us.

Lovely setting/lighting and a good comprehensive menu at great value prices. Would go back again and recommend to friends. Took my parents who don't get out much and they really loved the bustly environment - felt like a real night out for them

A lovely meal as usual. Cote never lets me down. The staff and mangement were very patient, attentive but not overly so and checked that everything was ok. A very pleasant experience.

We chose two courses from the Christmas menu and both the main course and the pudding were very delicious. Our table for two was plenty big enough and, though the restaurant became very busy over the time we were there, the service was paced just right for us. This is the fifth time I have dined at Cote Brasserie Brighton, and it's always very pleasant.

As ever the welcome and service was great and the food wonderful. Lovely to be back after welcoming Côte Lewes, which is our home base. It would be great if Lewes branch could be as light and lovely to walk in to.

Lovely food with great service. Set in the site of the old public music library a truly amazing building with most of the original fittings. There is a good choice of food and a fantastic Christmas menu.

We enjoyed the elegant surroundings and attentive and rapid service that this Cote provided. The brasserie style cooking is reliably authentic. Do try the wonderful crème caramel!

On this visit three of us ate from the set menu two tried the Mushroom Brioche which although tasted fine had an extremely small portion of mushrooms and sauce. We followed with the Salmon Fish cakes which were good but a little bland. This set menu is still very good value but portions seem to be getting smaller. I think it’s to keep the same cost; personally I would rather pay more and keep the portion size. The service as ever was of a high standard, a new waitress was being training and she was excellent.

Another pleasant time at Cote Brighton although the bar is set high and a few little niggles crept in again, mainly a few (three) 'waiting' errors. Hopefully won't have to make any excuses a third time....

Tonight’s visit was disappointing compared with previous ones. The restaurant was not very busy but service wasn’t up to the usual attentive standards and I had to send my main back as the chicken was over cooked and hard. Apologies and a refund were given but it was still annoying to have to eat the replacement meal after my dining companions had finished theirs.

We had a lovely evening...was let down with my husbands food arriving a tad cold but didnt say anything as we were with friends and didnt want to cause any issues, and other disappointment was we had drinks when first sat at table but not asked if we wanted any refills/other drinks throughout the meal.

As always , the food was excellent - my only quibble is that , with the restaurant full to bursting, the service was not as efficient and certainly not as friendly as it has been in the past. It was noticeable that as the restaurant became less busy, the staff had time to smile and interact more with customers.

Good service. Was very busy when we attending. Took a while to get the bill (I think the first time we asked they forgot - but it was very busy). And also when I phoned to delay our arrival they struggled to understand me (may have been interference on the line). But otherwise great good and great attention to detail in their customer service. Very much made it feel like a special occasion and you could see that the staff really work well as a team :-)

Staff were couteous, efficient and attentive as I have found on most occassions at Cote. The only negative would be the tip being added to the bill!! I feel this a little presumtious as I like to chose myself whether to add gratuities or not and how much.
