Excellent service. Despite being a lovely flavour, the food not as plentiful as normal and I felt that my Tuna Nicoise was a bit on the skimpy side for the cost.

I can honestly say that in all the years I have been coming to Cote at Brighton I have always had a fantastic meal. but please can you keep the crumble on the menu for ever, it's so good.

Its a nice and easy place to go for a meal , although if its busy they don't seem to be able to cope too well with serving everyone in a timely manner (it was VERY busy when we went) & you do tend to be packed in like sardines- the food is always good and the crème caramel is wonderful but I would like to see the main menu change a bit - even with the specials, it could do with some new ideas.

Excellent service, and very knowledgeable about gluten free requirements. It gets a bit noisy when busy, better sound dampening would be an improvement, but we couldn't fault the food.

Used to love it but now seems to have got too popular. Had to ask for water twice - both times. Took 10 mins to get the water (both times). Items on menus cannot be altered by any degree - such as changing the type of potato served with the main. Service was good when it happened. Food was good. Ambience, loud and noisy.

Birthday dinner & had called restaurant when I booked to request window table & was assured "no problem". Greeted curtly on door & told not possible & I had to understand they have over 300 people in an evening! Food was very average & the gents toilet was filthy . Complete lack of interest by staff apart from our waiter who was attentive. Doubt if we will return.

Everything was very good and efficient and polite and welcoming. The only point I would like to make is that my main course fish dish, a special of haddock did not contain enough sauce for my taste and was slightly over cooked thus making is a bit dry. Otherwise all good, as usual.

Julia the manager was absolutely fantastic as always, she greeted my party and showed us to our table. Julia also insisted we book a table for Christmas Eve, we have booked for twelve people. The service today was great, friendly and the food as always was gorgeous.

Pleasant but was disappointed that they had already sold out of the Roquefort salad I was hoping to have. It was only 7.00pm so not sure why they wouldn't have the I ingredients. Not s7re I would bother going there again.

Be aware that a 12.5% service charge is added to your bill. We didnt check so they got tipped twice. But food and service were amazing so worth the extra!

Another satisfying visit to Cote. Advance table request was fulfilled, service was attentive, courteous and prompt (had concert to attend at Dome), food was reliably good, and when we returned for pudds and drinks afterwards they were to my surprise accommodating. Thank you

I love Cote' in general, but this branch has got a nice and friendly atmosphere. Staff are very attentive, fast service including delivery of food. As always food is of good quality. The mushroom and spinach crepe was nicely served in a ramikin dish which was a nice touch - v - on a dish plate swimming in cream as we had in one of theri other branch. Would recommend and eat here again.

Good selection on menu, although my partners chicken leg skin in the Coq Au Vin was burnt, but otherwise food tasty and good. The service was rather slow, had to remind the waitress that we hadn't received the bread we ordered but had received our starters. The staff were rushed with large numbers of customers going to the theatre, but good atmosphere as usual.

Great professional, polite, pleasing service at a time when the restaurant was extremely busy. Excellent food, good value and well presented. Nice bit of space around the table so despite it being very busy it didn't feel claustrophobic. A most enjoyable experience.

After a very long wait the food was very disappointing. In fact we left most of it - mainly because it did not taste too good and also time was running out as we had to be at the theatre 15 minutes after we received our main courses! The staff were very nice and apologetic and did not charge us for the meal. Yesterday I ate at Cote in Reigate and last week at the one in Covent Garden and both were excellent. This meant it was even more of a let-down at the Brighton branch. I do hope some improvement can be made as it is such a nice venue and very handy for the theatres.
