Cote is brilliant - always very friendly, helpful and attentive service. And the food is superb; a real wide range of various meals on the menus, not too fancy and not too simple either. It's all just right! A great experience at a fabulous restaurant, with excellent value for money.

Staff were rude about the group, they allowed a very large booking of 20 and a booking was opposite of us of 15. We were complained at regarding the noise, which was ridiculous as everyone was simply talking. food was good but what do you expect from two large bookings (separate) all talking.

A pre-theatre meal which ticked the box in every way - good food in a convivial atmosphere, served promptly and excellent value. One diner was gluten-free and was particularly impressed with her food and separate processes applied too the preparation and serving of Cote's gluten-free menu.

The meal was to the usual high standard, we expect from Cote. Very busy evening with lots of big parties, but service still good. Only downside of being so busy, it was very noisy, but good atmosphere.

Food of good standard but not enough of it.poor selection of beers . Ridiculously priced three bottles equalling a pint that would set you back £12.00. We are in South of England not France. Apart nice venue.

Everyone enjoyed their starters, the crab mayonnaise being a highlight for me, delicious! We enjoyed red and rose wine at the table (there were 7 of us), the pink sancerre is an old favourite of ours and we order it every time we come to Côte. I have to say that whilst my Veal was perfect, two of my friends ordered the beef bourguignon and it looked very dry on arrival. They asked for extra sauce each and after 5 minutes a tiny ramekin of it turned up for them to share! I would have expected this dish to be swimming in luscious dark sauce! All I. All we have a great time and service was spot on as usual. Thank you

Dear Sirs It is with regret that the service my wife and I received was poor. on arrival we were shown to our table and the evening appeared to be starting well. Our first course followed which was enjoyable and it was from this point on that the evening went regrettably down hill. We noted that the table next to ours had received their main course even though they had arrived some 30 minutes after we had. My wife's meal followed after some time without mine. When her meal was delivered the manager then had to ask me "what had I ordered as there was a mix up in the kitchen even though it was him that took the order in the first place. My wife then asked whether the fries could be re-heated as they were very cold. The manager then took away her fries and then left her the plate of food to go cold instead of taking it back to the kitchen. At this point I was still without my main course. He shortly returned with the fries heated and I was then told that "there had been a mix up in the kitchen and my meal would arrive shortly, which it did although some 15 minutes had now gone by and the birthday dinner was now ruined. I have to say that this is not the first, second or even third time that this has happened to us and only last year our anniversary was again ruined by very poor service which resulted in Cotes sending me a £100.00 voucher. Talking to friends this now appears to be common practice in Cote's in that when friends arrive for dinner one person is left out and has to wait for their food whilst everyone else is eating theirs. It is so common in fact that our close friend who drove us to Cote's had been in with five friends for lunch and again one of them was forgotten and had to eat her meal on her own as by the time hers arrived everyone else had finished. The other issue that appears to be very common is 'cold food'. It does strike me as quite odd in that we observed the food being brought up from the kitchen and the guy then standing around for many minutes waiting for a manager to deliver the food to the table. We observed in one case a wait of 6 minute for the manager to take the food to the table, and yet again a short while later the table complained that their food was cold and had to be taken back to the kitchen. What is a worrying trend for Cote's is that the same mistakes appear to be happening time and time again and no one is actually getting to grips with the problem. That said our waiter was "absolutely fabulous" however regrettably we did not manage to take his name, although we know he is from Porto in Portugal and dealt with our issues in an extremely efficient professional way. Our opinion of the management (and other regulars feel the it to) is not the same. They appear cold, aloof and when the wheels are coming off they are no where to be seen and stand by the bar and let the floor staff deal with the issues even though they are the ones taking the orders and then not supporting the waiters and waitresses. Yes we are very disappointed in that for the fourth time Cote's have let us down on an important day be it, birthdays, anniversaries or graduations and regrettably it will be while before we return.

We had the set menu which is excellent value and really delicious. You do need to order before 7.00 but it’s worth it. I have always had a nice meal at Côte and it’s really reliable.
