As usual the service was efficient and the food great. A friend had to gave dairy free food and they adjusted a meal for her. That's good customer care.

We have visited Cote many times, sadly last night the service was poor. After waiting over 30 minutes we had to ask for the waiter to take our order, this should not be the case. Having said that the did food did come quickly.

Although our previous experience of dinner have been very good we were both disappointed with some parts of our meal.However,having brought the specific issues to the waiter,we were impressed when, without making a fuss we were reimbursed with the cost of one of the main dishes.We would certainly go to this restaurant again,however as the quality is usually good.

Would have been nicer if the Steak was hotter and we were not rushed so much - felt they wanted to get rid of us as we were served food very quickly before the drinks arrived - then desert - bill took a little longer but they were clearing the table as we were putting our coats on - never been in & out so fast in my life .

We had a pre theatre meal so enjoyed a 3 course dinner for a very reasonable price! Restaurant is clean, modern and stylish and the food a very good standard. Booking on line was simple and we were expected. Service was very good too so we were happy to pay the 12.5% service which was automatically added to our bill.

Really lovely outdoor courtyard and very friendly staff. The food was very good too and as ever with cote all good value for money. Slight delays in service and a couple of dishes a bit overcooked was all that stops this from being a 6.

My arrival was very smooth - my guest was already waiting at the reserved table after having arrived slightly early. The service was slightly slow as it was a Friday evening and the house was full, however the food was good: there was a wide choice and our selections were very tasty. Despite the full restaurant we were not hurried out and were able to continue our conversation without hassle after the dessert dishes were cleared. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and very reasonably priced.

The service at the restaurant was excellent, the staff polite and friendly. There were 7 of us in our group so we had a variety of food all of which was presented beautifully,and each dish tasted as good as it looked. I have visited several times and have never been dissapointed with my meal, will definately revisit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Cote last night. Asked for a quiet table as it was very busy and got it. Food was speedily delivered and delicious. I would have given a top rating had they not forgotten to bring water - we got it when we reminded them. I'll certainly be going again.

WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL DINERS AT COTE FOR MANY YEARS - MAINLY IN BRIGHTON BUT ALSO LONDON. WE CHOOSE COTE BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS GREAT, THE PRE-THEATRE MENU IS GOOD VALUE AND THE FOOD IS CONSISTENTLY GOOD. REGRETABLY THIS COULD NOT BE SAID OF OUR LAST TWO VISITS TO BRIGHTON. THE CHICKEN (FROM THE A LA CARTE MENU) WAS VERY OVERCOOKED ON ONE OCCASION, AS WAS THE SEABASS LAST NIGHT. MY ASPARAGUS STARTER WAS ALSO TOUGH AND STRINGY. PERHAPS THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE OF CHEF, OR WE HAVE BEEN UNLUCKY. LET'S HOPE IT'S THE LATTER!

Lovely meal with friend at Cote Brighton. Smoked Mackerel Rilletts starter was delicious. A few salad leaves were pale and sad around the edges. Sea Bass main also excellent. Won't have the choc pot dessert again; a bit small. Good value set meal.

A great place to go to celebrate anything. Feels like a little bit of Paris in Brighton. Not cheap- but not ridiculously priced either. The food is good and consistent, but it's the atmosphere that makes it worth the visit. Try and sit downstairs as upstairs feels a little out of the buzz. The creme caramel is worth the trip alone......

The service was very attentive and our meals were served promptly. The onion soup was excellent but asparagus was not presented well and a little unappetizing. Creme caramel and creme brulee were lovely but it was disappointing that apple crumble could not be served with custard. The vin maison was fine.

The staff were polite, cheerful and helpful and the food was superb. Two small points that dropped the score from 6 to 5, and those were 1) there was quite a wait between courses, which we could understand for the main course, as it was all freshly cooked and beautiful, but the dessert was a pre-prepared one, and could have been with us within minutes, especially as the restaurant was by no means full; and 2) there was a service charge on the bill, which we were quite happy to pay, as the staff had all been very good, but we would like to have had the choice of how much to reward them.

Pleasant meal. Noisy venue. Staff a bit distracted, made several errors in serving and had to be reminded what to bring, including cutlery and water! Seemed to be getting things from other tables rather than all tables already set.

Consistently well priced and tasty food and good service. Always a good choice of restaurant in Brighton with a great atmosphere. Both my courses were from the 'May specials' and were excellent.
