Pleased to report that this week service had improved compared to my last visit last week . Food was good but rather surprised the duck parfait from last months set menu was served as the terrine on the set menu ,I didn't mind as I enjoyed the duck parfait last time .It would have been nice to be told it was different from what was stated on the menu .that is why you don't get a perfect score ,we regulars do notice little things like this .

Found it to be tonight a slow and inaccurate service, waiter seemed stressed. Food was barely warm and was either under cooked or over cooked.

We had a pre theatre meal so enjoyed a 3 course dinner for a very reasonable price! Restaurant is clean, modern and stylish and the food a very good standard. Booking on line was simple and we were expected. Service was very good too so we were happy to pay the 12.5% service which was automatically added to our bill.

Consistently good. Great food with charming, friendly service. The only thing that let it down was no loo paper and a leak in the Ladies loos.

My arrival was very smooth - my guest was already waiting at the reserved table after having arrived slightly early. The service was slightly slow as it was a Friday evening and the house was full, however the food was good: there was a wide choice and our selections were very tasty. Despite the full restaurant we were not hurried out and were able to continue our conversation without hassle after the dessert dishes were cleared. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and very reasonably priced.

I went for a lunch with my friends to my local Cote Brasserie in Brighton. The restaurant was very busy. The food was good, as usual and he had a good time. The conversation was difficult because of the noise surrounding us. Well, everyone else talked. like us. I'm afraid that my favourite restaurant is becoming the victim of its own success.

The service at the restaurant was excellent, the staff polite and friendly. There were 7 of us in our group so we had a variety of food all of which was presented beautifully,and each dish tasted as good as it looked. I have visited several times and have never been dissapointed with my meal, will definately revisit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Cote last night. Asked for a quiet table as it was very busy and got it. Food was speedily delivered and delicious. I would have given a top rating had they not forgotten to bring water - we got it when we reminded them. I'll certainly be going again.

Really lovely outdoor courtyard and very friendly staff. The food was very good too and as ever with cote all good value for money. Slight delays in service and a couple of dishes a bit overcooked was all that stops this from being a 6.

WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL DINERS AT COTE FOR MANY YEARS - MAINLY IN BRIGHTON BUT ALSO LONDON. WE CHOOSE COTE BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS GREAT, THE PRE-THEATRE MENU IS GOOD VALUE AND THE FOOD IS CONSISTENTLY GOOD. REGRETABLY THIS COULD NOT BE SAID OF OUR LAST TWO VISITS TO BRIGHTON. THE CHICKEN (FROM THE A LA CARTE MENU) WAS VERY OVERCOOKED ON ONE OCCASION, AS WAS THE SEABASS LAST NIGHT. MY ASPARAGUS STARTER WAS ALSO TOUGH AND STRINGY. PERHAPS THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE OF CHEF, OR WE HAVE BEEN UNLUCKY. LET'S HOPE IT'S THE LATTER!

Lovely meal with friend at Cote Brighton. Smoked Mackerel Rilletts starter was delicious. A few salad leaves were pale and sad around the edges. Sea Bass main also excellent. Won't have the choc pot dessert again; a bit small. Good value set meal.

A great place to go to celebrate anything. Feels like a little bit of Paris in Brighton. Not cheap- but not ridiculously priced either. The food is good and consistent, but it's the atmosphere that makes it worth the visit. Try and sit downstairs as upstairs feels a little out of the buzz. The creme caramel is worth the trip alone......

I have been a fairly regular customer at this branch over the years but the last few times I have noticed the service standards are not as professional as they used to be ,it's the attention to detail that seems to have gone .The food is nearly always excellent ,although on occasions cold but this has always been rectified immediately .One thing today was the fact I paid cash for the meal & had to ask for the change & receipt ,this is not the first time this has happened .It was not a large amount but with the 12-5% service charge already on the bill change should be returned to the customer .I did have a word with the meeter & greeter /maitre d' about the service as I felt she needed to know as you may be losing customers because of little things like this .I have a table booked next week hopefully things will have improved .

Service very slow we waited over 10 minutes to place an order and our food came before our drinks which we had to chase. This isn't always the case at this restaurant have always had great service possibly just an off day. Food was good.

We had rare steak, 1 was more like blue steak than rare so has to be sent back, but the staff were so understanding and helpful, they even gave us some discount on the meal without us asking, we loved the both steaks and had a great time!

My wife and I were treating my sister and brother-in-law on their 40th wedding anniversary and we were hoping our visit to Cote would be suitably special and memorable. Happily, our expectations were met in lots of ways. The enthusiastic welcome, and attentive service throughout our stay, meant we could concentrate on enjoying our food and conversation. All of us were impressed by the quality of our individual menu choices which were not only delicious but also presented with care and flair. If I had to point to one downside it was that the first pouting of white wine was not as chilled as it should have been. However, it arrived at the table with an ice bucket, which meant that subsequent pourings were fine. Altogether a really pleasurable experience.

love the food - but I had booked for a working lunch with a colleague under my name - I arrived early and was seated but when she arrived she was told I wasn't there and was seated elsewhere - I did not see her - so we were waiting for each other to arrive for 45 minutes (her phone was out of order). I think this was the restaurant's fault.
