A very pleasant dining experience!! Food excellent. Service slick, but always charming. It was a very busy dining room so rather deafening, but no problem!

Very good food though we did eat a la carte as opposed to menu offers which looked a bit boring. Not impressed however with very slow service. Had to ask 3 times if we could order deserts and wait again to pay the bill. Restaurant not that full. Staff seemed to spend a lot of time chatting to each other.

This was my first visit to Cote Barnes and I was very disappointed with the ambience there. It feels more like an up market cafe and not what I have come to expect from Cote. The service was mediocre as was the food. I won’t be going back to this Cote.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch, served by a delightful girl, called Lizzie. The food was delicious. I had the roasted Breton chicken which was perfectly cooked. Credit to the chefs. My friend enjoyed her chicken caesar salad. We both had creme caramel, which was very good too. All the staff are helpful and efficient. We certainly enjoyed it all. All credit to the manager on duty. Again, a very helpful guy.

This was a birthday lunch for my sister-in-law. For an extremely modest price we had a delicious 2 course lunch in bright and spacious surroundings. Our birthday girl receievd a Kir Royal on the house and the creme caramel arrived with a single candle adorning it. All 3 of us chose that same sweet that was the perfect balance between the characteristic dark, sharper taste and a sweeter touch in the sauce. All the main courses arrived hot, the sea bream, chicken and parmentier shepherd's pie and all were delicious. Service was exemplary. House white wine was a perfect compliment. Congratulations.

Very nice environment. Good quality food and service. I had to ask for my steak to be cooked more - having asked for it to be medium to well done it arrived very rare. Otherwise all was very good. Delicious onion soup which they made dairy free on request.

Best meal I’ve had there. Starter endive salad lovely perfect. The steak just right and I do not usually eat it. The caramel was as one would expect Staff very good, attentive and friendly Only downside children running round so distracting and boring wish we could train children to behave in a shared space

As always the staff were helpful and charming, the food excellent and well priced. In comparison with some other branches of 'Cote' the Barnes one is light and airy, and not decorated as unimaginatively and dully as some of them.

First time in this Cote and it did n't disappoint, except one of us wanted Creme Caramel which was on the special menu, but it was n't available, but apart from that it was all very good. I look forward to returning, as my two fellow diners live quite closeby.

This restaurant was great for my grandson’s birthday and I would recommend it to my friends. When we ordered pudding, the waiters sang happy birthday to my grandson while serving the pudding with a candle. The food was good with excellent french fries served on the side. Overall I would come again to Cote.

Food was good but service was shocking. We order 3 starters and only received one. 45 mn went by and when we asked the waitress she told us they were coming. 10mn later we got some of our main courses and when asked about the started the waitress just said “oh. Terribly sorry”. And that was it. Like it was not a big deal. The restaurant was not full but everytime we asked a staff member for something they were quite rude and we had to ask 3times for the dessert menus. Finally decided not to bother. Such a shame - have frequented many Cotes and love the food but at Barnes there seems to be some major challenges with staff and kitchen. Very disappointing.

Steak was cooked more than I asked for but other than that it was a very nice meal and evening. The service was good and friendly without being too intrusive.
