Côte Brighton restaurant

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.

My friend and I had lunch at Cote today food was delicious and as always the service was amazing we keep coming back again and again and can’t fault it

Good service. Friendly staff. Tasty food. Portions slightly on the small side. Great atmosphere. Will definitely come back. Good pre show place to eat as a couple or a group.

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.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Always enjoy eating at Cote. Thank you

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.

Poor service and cold food. Manager had a bit of an attitude when we pointed out the food was cold. Not sure I’ll be going back.

Great food and great service, we went to the Brighton restaurant for my partners birthday and they made him feel very special. With a glass of Prosecco each, a candle in his pudding and sung happy birthday! Thank you!

An elderly lady friend and neighbour, we had booked to see Russell Watson who she follows everywhere, a little bit besotted, and when she phoned today most of the conversation was about how much she enjoyed her meal and was so impressed by our very friendly waiter who accompanied her to the ladies room and bought her back safely, for myself the meal was definitely 5 star, I already was aware of that as Im a frequent diner but usually someone else had booked. WELL DONE

Excellent lunch from the a la Carte menu. The special lunch menu is not as appealing as it used to be - since the prestige menu was introduced. Staff at Brighton are always friendly as well as being professional. As a regular customer I am always welcomed which is nice.

Great staff , wonderful service , brilliant food . As far as I am concerned it is one of the most relaxing restaurants I have ever been in and along with the above what else can I say . Worth every star .

Brilliant as always.Food excellent and very attentive staff. Keep up these standards

Unfortunately our food was not as hot as we would have liked on this occasion. It arrived shortly after we had ordered and I suspect as it was on the Specials menu that the chef had pre prepared some in advance. There was also a delay in our food being ready and actually arriving at the table as our server was otherwise engaged. It was not up to usual high standards as food is usually piping hot.

We booked a table and had lovely lunch food and service excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

Service was fantastic. Our waiter was so so lovely and the food was great. Definitely value for money and I would recommend for all age groups

Portions were a smidge on the small side, but staff were very friendly

It was ok here, beer was overpriced and goats cheese salad was average so too expensive. Average meal but classy surroundings. Food could do with improvement to be honest

We had an absolutely lovely time the staff were friendly and attentive. We also noticed 2 different members of staff being really patient helping a very elderly frail gentleman up out of seat. I had the fish stew which I enjoyed but I do feel I should let you know just in case I was violently ill at 4am this morning and haven’t been able to keep water down since. I feel it may have something to do with the shellfish ?i have had food poisoning once before and pretty exact experience. I don’t wish for any compensation but thought it was worth mentioning.

I didn't eat my self bu left clients who thoroughly enjoyed their experience at Cote Brighton

The welcome staff were very good and made us feel welcome. The starters were very good, both mains were cold and the service was very bad. Could never get any staffs attention as they were too interested in serving the larger parties. First time I have ever asked not to pay the service charge. This was a meal for a special occasion and was seriously let down.

A delightful meal for four, well cooked and a splendid French waiter who was most kind and attentive

Very good meal on a Sunday evening, we will go again.

Booked to eat before the theatre, not disappointed. Excellent service, excellent food in a great atmosphere, what more can you possibly ask for! We highly recommend this restaurant Thank you,

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

I've never had a 'bad' meal or poor service at Cote. All the staff are friendly and polite.Highly recommend you. Thank you as always. Jacquie 😊

Good service from the staff but such a shame with the food......all 6 starters were sent back as they were not hot....

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

Delicious meal & great ambiance. Service was friendly & attentive. Very enjoyable evening.

Food was delicious. Service was a little flow but we didn’t mind as were chatting and we were not rushed

Food and service was great. A couple of minor things not worth mentioning I.e had to request new gratin potato as only half full and table not wiped properly upon arrival. Still a fab night. Thank you.

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary.Shown to our table promptly our cocktails arrived we were feft to choose from the menu not rushed,the food arrived which was delicious and the service amazing .

A genuine welcome followed by thoughtful service and delicious food, with vegetarians being particularly well catered for. Happily one of my better life choices made that day!

As always a very pleasant after Theatre meal with my friend, staff always attentive and friendly and food was excellent. A really good place to eat and probably sometimes missed by visitors as away from hustle of our town. Thankyou

A very pleasant meal in unusual surroundings. Lovely staff but service was rather slow - but it was lunchtime and busy!

Lovely experience again. And the complimentary Negroni was delicious. Thank you.

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.

Yet again a wonderful experience in Cote Brighton. Food and wine were excellent and the service good and attentive without being intrusive. I have found this restaurant to be consistently excellent and great value for money.

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.

Was easy to book our table online. Greeting on arrival was welcoming,staff were cheerful,friendly. Our waitress was professional and attentive and despite a full house pre theatre our food arrived in a timely manner- and was delicious. A good experience all round.

Lovely atmosphere and the lady that served us was very friendly, polite and professional, there’s only one thing, it was so hot in there and I saw a lady along side ya and she was fanning herself

50th birthday went as planned food great staff great drinks flowed as ordered well done to the staff that attended our birthday party x

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....

A most enjoyable dinner, good food we both had fish main. Service first class although restaurant was very busy

Excellent, friendly service. Main restaurant was very noisy but we were moved to the outdoor terrace, which was quiet and not cold. Food was very good and well presented. Waitress very attentive. Will certainly go again.

The food was delicious, the service was amazing, there was a great atmosphere, it was excellent value for money, we would definitely visit here again.

Lunch at Cote is always a pleasure - the food is good and the service is spot on. The restaurant is always a delight to look at.

As always the staff were friendly and helpful, with a relaxed atmosphere and the food as ever perfectly cooked and presented.
