Côte Brighton restaurant

We had a lovely meal in the upstairs part of the restaurant. One of our main courses was wrong but the waiter ordered the right dish straightaway and took the dish from the bill. Although the restaurant was busy there was no attempt to get us to leave.

It's was Mother's Day we were greeted given a lovely table , food excellent and a complimentary bottle of red found it too sharp a bit disappointing and would not pay over £20 ! Staff were fantastic

Great service and great food for my sons 18th Birthday celeb. Attentive waiters/waitresses. Great all round as we have come to expect from one of Brightons best restaurants. Thank you!

Good choice of dishes, well prepared with seasonal specials that change each month. Great staff, polite and welcoming providing a good service. Very busy so need to book.

Lovely food, excellent and friendly service, all very prompt and seamless, but the room was very, very hot. Could really do with some air conditioning.

Really tasty food. The early evening menu has a good range and is excellent value. The Brighton restaurant is in a beautiful high ceilinged building. It is well placed for a pre concert dinner as it is close to The Dome and Theatre Royal. We will definitely be back.

Food and service at it's usual best! warm welcome, nice food and wine. We'll be back again soon no doubt. First time eating up stairs too.

Food very good, but the wait for the main course was way too long. Restaurant seemed overstretched on a Sunday before bank holiday. This was a pity as the space is great, food is good, value for money also commendable. I mentioned the wait to the wait staff but no explanation or apology was given.

A warm welcome, a good varied menu. The table was lovely (we sat near the windows looking out onto the street) and the food was delicious.

Always excellent. Great food great staff great restaurant. Hug yhh For is a good idea and came to the call of the sunshine and then I'll

Very good food as always. However, as often happens, long wait to catch waiter's eye to pay. When you need to get away, this can be annoying.

Although quite noisy when we arrived as there was a large party of over 20 people seated near to us, there was a good atmosphere, good service and good food.

Our French waitress was excellent and really charming. The food was delicious and we loved being able to enjoy the sunshine outside. I think the wine is too expensive though.

The restaurant is in the best part of Brighton, offered a warm welcome, good food and portion size, an excellent waiter and an upmarket ambience. Very good indeed

Fantastic food, great service - a lovely anniversary lunch. My Beef Bourgignon was mouth-wateringly good, washed down with an excellent Pinot Noir. Thank you Cote

Arrive at appointed. Time of 2.00pm and by 2.50 had only had 1st course at least 35mins before 2nd course arrived. Management said they had a lot of customers and yet there were many empty tables. Go often to Cotes in Ealing Chiswick and Westbourne grove always good service A pity to have bad experience

The food was great, friendly service for a birthday meal out with friends. Great value for money, would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again soon

Lovely setting. Friendly welcome and great service from our waitress. The food was good, especially enjoyed the pork belly and ice cream with dark chocolate sauce, Yum!!. Thank you.

From start to finish the staff were polite and attentive. Really busy in there as always but didn't feel rushed. Nice relaxed atmosphere All 4 of us had different meals and all enjoyed them . Will be visiting again

It was my first time at this restaurant and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble and they deal well with food allergies. The food was enjoyable.

Food was ok. They had a large hen party downstairs which meant we were shouting to hear each other at our table for two. We were at a tiny table which was part of a row of tables they have added since the last time I was here. We felt very squashed. Prices have definitely gone up and I would say it is no longer good value. There are better restaurants in Brighton in this price range. They just seem to be after the money and no longer care about diners. I probably won't go again, unless I'm in a hen party!

Table not fully wiped and it wobbled. Candle not lit and it needed replacing. Otherwise very enjoyable experience although, oddly, seemed less tasty than usual.

Very efficient and easy to book! Great food and service. Staff very attentive and friendly , lots of choices from the different menu options, something for everyone!

The service was not as excellent, as usual. The food was brilliant and very tasty. The restaurant was busy, but not overly, so that the service personell should have been more observant to our needs. We had a 3 course meal and wanted a coffee after, but the waiter just came to ask, if we wanted the bill, when we tried to get his attention.

lovely food and some waiters were so helpful however other staff not so much. Also out of mussels, crab and tuna so for someone who is not a meat fan it was slightly annoying but not their fault.

The food was really tasty and the atmosphere was great, the only negative is that the service was a bit slow but it was very busy so that's understandable.

Good experience, good food, plenty of it, well cooked, mostly well and rapidly served (there was a slight hiccup somewhere along the line but nothing serious, I can't remember what it was, maybe we had to remind someone that we'd ordered coffee?? - but it was nothing). We were four and had the pre-theatre menu at 5pm on Friday. The bill was just less than £100 inc. the service charge, and everyone had three courses and coffee and we had a bottle of wine (your Viognier - which is good!). As we learnt when we lived in France, the crucial equation is 'le rapport entre la qualité et le prix' - and, in our opinion, this was (again as they say in France) 'correcte' (100%). In general, we find Côte, Brighton, very reliable on this score.

Great service. All the waiting staff were attentive but not at all intrusive. They made special arrangements for me to sit somewhere comfortable as I use crutches. The food was delicious and the house wine highly satisfactory.

Great atmosphere as usual but service was lacking not as slick as during our last visit. Had to wait quite a long time between starter and main course. Also bill was wrong and had to be recalculated.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the ambiance of Cote. The food and service were excellent and a most interesting menu. It was a bit noisy but that was only because everyone was having a good time ! We will be back .

I got a voucher that said get a free bottle of wine if you use this site. I didn't get the wine. I was then handed another voucher when I left.

My husband and I had an enjoyable meal and wine served by efficient and friendly staff in a pleasant environment. Definitely will return to Cote.

Excellent fayre with a varied menu served by attentive staff eager to please, building has a real ambience. Chose this restaurant as across the road from the Brighton Dome, very handy

Lovely atmosphere and even though the staff were a bit all over the place, it made us laugh Fab champagne and we really liked the decor

As expected very good service, good food & wine and an excellent atmosphere, staff very friendly and welcoming. Always my first choice before going to the theatre.

Restaurant was great as usual and service was, as usual, exemplary but why have they started using Quandoo? The previous booking system was better. Peter

Cote never disappoints. The staff are incredibly friendly, the service excellent and the food cannot be faulted. The early evening set menu is excellent value. Ambience lovely.

Six of us had dinner. Excellent friendly and attentive service. Food on the whole pretty good, but had to send the cold vichysoisse back. Worst one I have ever tasted.

Super location in the centre of Brighton's art district, opposite the Brighton Dome. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and food cooked perfectly. One of Brighton's best restaurants, consistently good value and you leave, looking forward to your next visit.

My booking was for 22 people, I was very happy with Everything. Any issues were resolved quickly. The food was very good. Overall experience was excellent

very small portion of french fries with the fillet steak, also very small shallow dish of potato gratin, do not go if you are feeling hungry.

Great atmosphere, attentive staff and very quick and excellent meal. Will definitely go again and recommend to others. Ideal for a pre-theatre snack and or drink.

Food excellent but thought the portion of mussels rather small for the price. Service very attentive. A very enjoyable experience will definitely recommend to friends.

Lovely place, buzzy but good efficient and friendly service, booked again for mothers day! We joined Cote and received a lovely bottle free red (£24) and steak, all excellent.

Had a great experience at the Brighton Cote. The resturant has a wonderful atmosphere and setting and the place had a great buzz about it. The team were attentive and helpful without being intrusive and the food was spectacular at a very reasonable price. All in all a great visit for my Mother's birthday and we will all be back and will be telling all of our friends and family. Well done and thanks !

Another enjoyable night at Côte. Great food and good service as usual and a lively and friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for good quality food and efficient service then it's definitely worth a try.

We had been to the Theatre and wanted to finish the Afternoon /evening off with a nice meal so booked a table at Cotes. It was so easy to book on line, and the service when we arrived was great. We had fantastic food, a lovely waiter.and the atmosphere was great too.

My husband and I had a great lunch today. The service was excellent and the food was very good. The atmosphere was lively but we sat by the service station and still felt that our meal was private.

Very crowded place with mediocre food, at it's best - The Onion soup was almost under edible, the rest were OK. Nice atmosphere and good service. Not worth it.

Excellent meet and greet- good food as usual. Very pleasant experience. Rbecommend the artichoke and whitebait starters, and sea bream worthy of m ends st double the cost.
