One of our side dishes was a little over cooked, we had to chase for our bottle of wine and one of the drinks brought out was incorrect. Not the usual high standard of service however, still a good meal experience.

I ordered the cassoulet after seeing it advertised on the website, when it came it was nothing like the picture. The portion was small, the beans were tasteless and the meat seemed to have been added afterwards in the form of a very small duck leg and sausage. My friend's stew was similarly lacking oomph. The waitresses were lovely and service good but the food has gone downhill over the past year.Pity. I hope it picks up.

Mothers Day, it was really busy but the staff were super attentive, we were shown to a lovely table, our orders were taken quickly & they were flexible with the menu to help with my fussy eater, swapping a side order for us at no extra charge. The food was delicious, & hot. (luke warm food is my pet hate). Our waitress was really apologetic when our first choice of dessert was sold out & gave us lots of other options. Happy all round.

We came here for breakfast which was fantastic and Stella the waitress was so attentive and polite. We then decided later that day that as we had had such a lovely breakfast we would come back for dinner. We where served by Zoe and she was so nice and polite and we where also looked after by Stella again who with Zoe made the whole experance a very memorable one and the food was absolutely fantastic and so was the service. The chef was kind enough to make a portion of mushrooms to go with the stake after being asked by the lady’s. All in all we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Côte to anyone looking for good food with great service. Well done.

The menu always has something delicious no matter how many times I visit. I have been visiting for years with a wide range of friends and relations. The staff let me sit and talk and never push to get rid of me...though when very busy I try not to take advantage. All the staff are lovely and seem to work well as a team. Great atmosphere!

The food was lovely but with a limited choice for vegetarians. All of the three vegetarian dishes contained cheese and the cheeses are quite pungent, so a bit strong for some palates. Everything we ate was delicious. Atmosphere was good but no background music so very noisy with chatter.

Always a warm greeting - I notice several of the lunchtime 'regulars' are greeted by name and made particularly welcome. Great customer service which makes the Brighton Cote very special. All ages are welcome here and the atmosphere becomes one of a very inclusive and warm family. Its great when there are parties of 'suits', young families, and lovely couples all relaxed and happy here. I have been a regular visitor over a number of years and have never been let down or disappointed. Maggie G

It was quite easy than normal and the food was delivered quickly. Most of the mains were fine in our party of 4,, however, I had the haddock special and it was very over cooked and dry. The special side of potatoes, bacon lardons and onions was also seriously over cooked and tasted like it had been deep-fried in old oil.

Cote is always reliable, but a visit to the Brighton one was exceptional. The waiting team were so good to us, changing our table once we’d sat down most cheerfully although we know it must have been a pain, they served us brilliantly, the food was top drawer and excellent value for money, but what moves me to write this was the care they showed to a couple on the next table on a first date. You could pay a lot more for a lot less, and miss out on a lovely experience

The whole experience from start to finish was lovely, a warm welcome into a very French restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. The food was delicious, the French onion soup was on par with any I have had in Paris, the duck and dauphinois potatoes were to die for and the chocolate mousse delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive without being too in your face. Would definitely go back

Excellent food, as is to be expected, a fabulous room, attentive but unobtrusive service, this chain is an excellent addition to the high street with an authentic (not ersatz) flavour of the brasseries that I remember from the last century.

Fab restaurant with & great ambience & lovely food. There was a slight hiccup with our booking & they gave us a complimentary prosecco as an apology, which made us feel very valued. Only issue was that we had to prompt our server for the bill as we were on our way to the theatre, which we had mentioned when we were seated. Would definitely recommend a visit if in Brighton.

Absolutely awful, especially having been to Cote before and it being one of my favorites, second to The Ivy. It's really gone down hill, was a lot for a bad meal and unappealing service, really disappointed as used to love.

We had a reservation for 6pm on Fathers' Day. It felt as if they had run out of steam - food was mediocre - whole experience pretty lacklustre. Disappointing as we usually really enjoy our meals at Cote - £100 not well spent....
