Great welcome, a choice of tables and good service. I was surprised they didn't have horseradish available and that the Steak & Frites came without salad but otherwise a very pleasant meal

Very good bistro food. Unpretentious, well cooked and presented. Attentive friendly service. Great location for the Dome and theatres. Would have rated a six if at least one vegan option for each course and if sparkling water not so expensive.

Very busy popular French themed restaurant. Shown immediately to a table we had booked, quieter upstairs which was what we wanted. Food delicious and service good.

\We were given a choice of seating. The staff were lovely and the food/wine delicious. My husband finds the stairs to the toilets difficult, so the waiter pointed out the disabled toilet on the ground floor. I know it's not much to most people, but it made a huge difference in that he was able to relax.

A very nice luncheon with a friend before a theatre visit. However the publicised two or three course lunch at a set price didn't seem to me to be very obvious, and our one course each, one miniscule pot of fries, one wine and a soft drink far exceeded my planned budget. There was also an amount for service which was added into the final amount and, because I didn't want to look fussy as I was treating my friend, I simply asked them to take the full amount. On examining the bill at home I would certainly not have added nearly £6 to my bill for service. The staff were all attentive and friendly but I had to ask three times for a little bread to accompany my meal. Once bitten, twice shy, I would probably not go back again.

It was difficult to get staff attention even thought the resterant wasn't busy. We had to wait a fair amount of time to order coffees and again to attract attention for the bill. When the bill arrived it was wrong, this may have been due to a change of staff. Food was very good though.

Service a little slow to start but after that all was FAB! As always. Great value on the set menu, good wine at reasonable prices, great service. Always feel so welcome there. While it is a chain, it never feels like one. it is always a favourite of ours.

Could have been better. Waiter a bit cool, brought the wrong wine, a glass with a huge lipstick stain and a menu for an offer that wasn't actually running. Food only okay not as good as other Cotes I have been to.

We always enjoy our experience at Cote but the omelettes were a little rubbery, should have been softer. Apart from that, the service and ambience was excellent. We had a particularly nice young man serving us.

Normally love Cote but service was under par and ordered items forgotten or incorrect on 2/3 courses. Drink spilled by accident but no offer of help given or new napkins goven throughout whole meal, even though the waitress was there when it happened. Charged twice for spilled drinks also. Would have taken service off bill (which was already added to bill, even though there were only 2 and a half covers) but too awkward to ask.

Lovely food, service okay (waitress seemed to want to be anywhere but at work). Given a complimentary drink for a birthday which we were then charged for... it also didn't help that we had four drunk, lecherous men next to our pre theatre family gathering.

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.

Cote Brighton has amazing decadent feel about the place. The breakfast we was amazing, I had the Vegi Breakfast which was very tasty and my husband had the Eggs Benedict which he loved. The staff were both helpful and attentive but never intrusive a perfect experience 5*.

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 .
